Honestly... I think that run I did on the gravel, with the Moabs... is what did the ESC in. I shut it off in the nick of time (unknowing anything was wrong), then when I drove lightly around the yard in grass, the caps let loose from braking. Not OVER braking, but just regular braking. The ESC just couldn't take it.

A friend of mine fried two MMM V3's (not fire), from driving them in sand he thinks. So, I gather that sand is NOT your friend with a BL system huh? I can't believe how touchy these MMM's are. Overgeared, too much braking, sand, low C rating, etc causes failure. I get it that there are certain basic rules that have to be followed.... esp when you're pumping 6s thru the thing. But now I'm going to be all paranoid when I get my new one back, and I should have to feel that way.
