Ok I thought I got lucky after reviving my V1. Now my brand new V2 seems to be DOA. BEC output voltage less than 1V upon powering up. This is a long weekend in Malaysia & I really want to run both my buggy (V1) & new truggy (V2). Looks like I'm only going to achieve 1 out of 2. However, I am now bordering on adventurous & I'm thinking of pulling a surgery on the V2. V2 differs from V1 in that the DC/DC convertor is now a 10pin device. At least to my feeble understanding of electronics that's what it is. So, this is what I intend to do :

I want to remove the parts marked with X's to achieve the same result as that of the V1's to remove the internal BEC & power the esc through and ecternal power source.

Now the 6million dollar question - will this work ? Are those the right parts to remove?

I understand the warranty will be void if I did it. How much do I have to pay if I found out the hard way that this idea does not work ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Joe Ling
