My first v2 Dropped dead after about 4-5 hours of total track time. Maybe a bit more.

It just stopped. No smoke, no flames, no lights, no nothing. Just dead.

Config: Mugen MBX-5 Prospec, 1512/1.5/D/F, 11t pinion - 46t spur on 4s 25c 5000mah Polyquest.

Mods: Holes drilled in case at the caps, Fan wire shrink wrapped and rerouted.

Runtime: About 4-5 hours.

Driving Style: Drunken Barbarian with Terets and dirty contacts.

Other: Temps were fairly consistent around 145 degrees.

Number 2 v2 is still holding up. I moved it from my truggy over to the buggy so I could race it this past weekend. I put my old modded up MM back in the truggy. It ran pretty good too.
