We had the exact same symptoms, except in the 1:1 configuration. The max rpm would sometimes be different, and we tried adjusting victors, when finally the motor just wouldn't move when we applied power. Looks like we're packing some RS 545's before the team leaves for Palmetto tomorrow.

I'll see what I find when i take one apart. Has anyone else been experiencing similar symptoms?
