Running the gearing I ran, on smooth pavement, for less than 5 minutes.. never getting to full speed, never stomping on the throttle or break... should NOT have caused it to flame. Considering when it blew.. It as rolling at a walking pace... otherwise.. I'd likely have a melted car and not just a burnt ESC.
Dont let any of this bother you. There arent many that seem to be able to make these MMMs run for very long. I've been through 3 already myself.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
