Well I found a new construction site Sunday morning where they are performing the initial site work and I decided to take out my Gevo & my X-Ray and beat the hell out of them on the fresh soil. It started out like every other bash day, good weather, no crowds and open area to myself..
Since I just finished up completing my XB8 buggy conversion and thought I would try it out first. Well it rolled all of 3’ feet and started to smoke!?? (FIRE) What the hell??...
It turns out that my new MGM 12012 controller couldn’t handle 4s and it went up in smoke!..
Now I know how the MMM team feels…
It freaked me out for a few seconds, I didn’t have the body on it (luckily) and then I saw it smoke so I knew (shooot) I'm screwed!, but then it started to catch fire!, my Lipos!... I just started to through dirt on my new clean shinny buggy!.. (it killed me!) but I wanted to save my 4s before they went up in smoke and blowup my buggy.
I packed up my new (burned up) controller is shot it off to MGM today; with any luck I should have it back in about a month. As for the condition of the buggy!, well all other components seam ok (??) and it really, really needs to be cleaned..
(tonight’s project). Uuuggg..
