Adding unneeded cabling does not 'remove another level of complexity,' just the opposite actually.

So? Just wait and see how many flights you get before you have to recharge your battery. I wouldn't want some clunky external battery hanging off the back of my TX.

Did yours come with a LiPo TX battery?

When you spin it by hand does it feel gritty or different from the others? You got an outdoor hose with a sprayer? Cover the the main body with some plastic, then fire it up and blast the offending motor a few times (while it's running) from the top. Spin it by hand again and see if it...
