Here's some good smokin' pictures....
 
It had close to 35-40 full packs ran through it... It was working great!

THEN I let my girlfriend drive it, and look what she did within 10 min.... :lol:

My outlook on everything, is that these things happen, and that if you get mad at everylittle thing, then nothing will ever get done...

Plus I know that CC has the greatest customer service in the RC world...

I'm sorry that THIS had to be your first post! :neutral: Welcome to the forums! :yipi:

CC does have great service. Unfortunately it may take a while to get your replacement. They are somewhat swamped right now.

P.S. - That is A LOT of smoke! :oh:

I think it's actually a pretty darn good first post.

What did the gf do to it?

Texas-Pete 08.30.2008 10:25 PM

Yeah, it's a pretty big amount of smoke... Oh well....

I've actually been over on the Trx forums for a while, and could never quite seem to get my account over here working, so I made a new one... Thanks for welcoming me!

Ugh... I don't know... Mabye I'll call and speak directly with them on Tuesday... That way I'll get in before anymore might fail...


EDIT:

The girlfriend drove it around the yard for a while... the it starts smoking, and the first thing she says is "I swear I didn't do it"

It's not a bad one, I just meant that he didn't have a chance to say "Hi guys! Here's my truck! What do you think?". It looks like the front end was pinned under that barrel-looking thing and the GF was on the throttle...:no:

:lol: Looks nice! A little blast-from-the-past, huh?

looks like she backed it into a corner ,it got stuck and she has mashed the throttle with the wheels locked and overloaded the esc. that usually creates smoke .

Naw, I was standing there watching, and it just rolled there, she was trying to turn in to a opening and it rolled straight... And there's a slipper that isn't really tightened down all the way, so the wheels wouldn't have locked...

What's_nitro? 08.30.2008 10:48 PM

Haha, well I guess you can't blame her then! I bet she freaked out when it started to smoke.

killajb 08.30.2008 10:55 PM

I remember my gf watching me run my brushless mini inferno/quark 33 setup when it smoked and caught fire. She screamed like it was a horror movie (kinda shocked me in the process).. but I laughed and watched the carnage.
