Hmm, ya didn't read my tune-up tips??..  Go to a junk yard, and get a
couple different esc's the little 3"squares about 3/4" thick with the
knock filtering one em (usually $5 each).  One by one try them till
you get rid of the code 43, and no audible knock.  Or do away with the
malfunction flag for the code 43.

Some of the 747's were known for false 43's, and I could imagine the
same for the 6965's.

(Hint, Hint try the esc's off a buick v-6)..........
Cheers
