i hope you collected all the smoke so castle can put all the smoke back into it to repair it for you.

you can totally reuse those gold plugs :lol:

Dang Dicky sorry to see you kill another. Glad the collateral was minimal. Every time I hear of one smoking I get a little more nervous about my V1......

Mark, you are still running a V1? wow!

Seems to be that according to Patrick the issue was more firmware than the original units. Even of a V1 does die I believe CC will replace it at anytime and not just hold you to the 1 year deal.

Wow, and to think I've only killed one electric motor, nothing else. Only fire I've ever had was when my old "N" truck smacked a tree at full throttle and split the fuel tank. Fuel right next to the hot exhaust, didn't work so well. One quick fireball and it was done though, thankfully!

There are still some of us with them going strong :yipi:

I run my V1 every weekend! works great and never gets hot.

My v3 never got hot either. until sunday. I temped it about 30 seconds before it fire balled and it was at 118 after running a half pack on a hot day.
