why oh why oh why?
 

Well after my Hacker sport OPTO died (Had C50 14-cell from Aircraft-world and a sport opto) i wanted another bl system. i just recieved my 9920/9L with UBEC. i was so excited. well that didnt last long. i wired it up, charged my batts, and started to go to work. I programed it, wired up the UBEC, and tested it. it worked for 3 seconds, then started to beep, the pitch was progressively getting higher. so i reprogramed it, and the same thing happened, but this time there was a little pop, and a lot o smoke. man am i pissed at this. I sent mike an email, and im hoping that i might be able to get my money back. i took it from my 1:1 car funds, and i wish i could put it back. just wanted to share my frusteration, and im just hoping that i wont have to deal with BK, and im hoping that there is a slim chance that i can get my $$$ back.

i think this is the first 9920 i have heard of exploding, before being driven, is this so?

Did you disable the Warrior's internal BEC before using the UBEC? I don't know if there would be a problem from this, but you never know.

sure did! the black jumper is sitting on my work bench. im terrified that i might have just lost $200, if i knew i would be getting it back some time i feel better. im just scared that BK is going to say that i wired it backwards (which i didnt, i just went over and checked it 2 more times) and charge m2 $75 for a repair.

Mike would be able to help you with this better than I would at this point.

YGM!

thanks alot mike, i can finaly sleep and stop worrying about this, you truly are the best. you deserve a nobel peace prize or somthing close to it!

I had a similiar situation with mine this weekened. Second warrior I've had die. This one was alittle bit worse with smoke as well lol. I'm pretty mad but its part of the rc hobby. Just wish I can stop buying brushless setups and get my e-maxx running for once lol.

Mike you have PM hehehhe

MIKE MIKE MIKE!!! did you get my email, i sent it on sunday morning and i havent heard anything yet. i hope to hear from you soon. i have a copy of both of them if you dont have/didnt get the reply i sent. thanks alot!

Did you send an e-mail or a pm? I don't seem to find anything in my inbox from you on Sunday.

i sent it to this rc monster address. Is that correct? ill send it again.

i looked again, and i think it went to this frontiernet address. were do you want it mike? i can send it to your rc-monster address.

thanks.

yes, that is correct. I searched all my folders and couldn't find any e-mails from you on Sunday or Monday, though! I hope I am not having trouble with my e-mail account now!

ok, i was using the wrong email address....YGM!!!

Got it! mike@rc-monster.com gets forwarded to rc-monster@frontiernet.net anyways, so either should work, though I got the message you just sent. Strange!

well as long as you got one of them, thats all that matters to me! ill get the controller out to you asap. ill put a note in it so you know that its mine. thanks a bunch!

My pleasure, Tim. Hopefully, we can get it resolved for you quickly.

mike i have a few more questions. when you recieve my controller will it be a swap, you get mine you send me a new one, or will you send mine to BK, then they send it to you who sends it to me? how long will it take once you recieve it, and i want to order a heat sink for the 9L, when is the best time to do this?

thanks alot.

Tim,
I have to work out the details on the controller. It is possible that I can get a couple controllers shipped with my current order to cover yours, before I send it to Germany. If this is the case, I may get your controller back to you in a week or so. I can't promise this, but it is possible. the heatsink you can order any time. I can hold it and ship it with the controller if you wish.

Mike

mike, ive been trying to get the controller mailed to you, but i cant find time to get it down to the post office. it will be in the mail either tomorrow or wednesday.

NP.
