Seen that happen plenty of times before, but never with an MGM ESC (I was able to run 18 cells in my E-Revo with my MGM 16018, it just cut the power waay back to reduce the strain on the NiMHs). BL + NiMH = disaster. Powering a BL system with NiMH cells is like putting a scooter engine in a Hummer. Get those PolyQuest lipos and as long as you treat them right (basically don't do anything stupid) and your battery problems should go away and you'll notice a big increase in power.

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
