It ran very cool the 1st day and most of the second day. Then after I parked it and tried to run again - hours later - cool 40* night it started acting stupid as soon as it turned it on. It didn't get 1-2 min into a run when it stalled out over and over. I check the heat and the esc was really super hot to the touch (the motor always is).
I let it cool (thinking the batts were low) and repeaked the batts. It was no better. I removed the esc and found most of the heat shrink was melted away. Once I saw that, I didn't even try anymore, I just removed it and placed my order the the top line controller you have posted, and a new motor in case that was the cause.
Man only days old and starting over again...
I made a new mount from a thick piece of lexan and moved the position of the esc (when it gets here) as far from the motor as I can get it...
