Honestly, its things like that that purpetrate the idea of electrics being fragile. I hope that no smokers saw that, then they could continue their mis-information campain with proof. I too agree, that it was stupid and wasteful. If you own the hobby shop, shame on you, if you are an employee, shame on you and the owner for passing it off as defective. I have run my mamba Maxes on up to 5s with no troubles, but that was with a UBEC, I have run with BEC without troubles all day on 3s. For your next trick, Do you plan the same thing with a quark? Why not? Its more expensive and should handle it? Sorry for sounding so harsh. I have pushed my stuff and will admit it to anyone, but i do a lot of reading and take advise from those more qualified before doing something stupid. Heck i might push a sidewinder, but i'd only do it with a UBEC
