Im not worried about returning it for a new one in all honesty; its nearly 4 years old, so all Im gonna do is replace the motors leads, re-instate both sets of battery leads with some deans or trx connectors, and give it a bit of a clean to remove the dirty marks. Then it will be sold on feebay since my MMM is a good one which hasnt died within the 1st few minutes or hours of use. Still, thats a good warrenty system you have, and its a good power system for what it is- looking forward to the next gen of escs and motors from novak.

Some beauty shots of my esc, just for curiosity's sake:

Four of the motor mounting holes are stripped.
Esc has dual caps.
Esc is shorted for single pack operation.
Motor leads have 5.5mm bullets.
On/off lead has been replaced- new wires soldered to pcb, and to switch.
Case is also melted by soldering iron in a few spots.
