My Monster went up in smoke at the RC-M bash yesterday:-( Truck was muddy after practice so I hosed it off, keeping water away from the esc, I can't say that some of the mist didn't get in but these are supposed to be ok with a little moisture. Then I used theair gun to blow all the water off the chassis, gavethe esc a blast too just to be sure. Set everything on the bench and a few minutes later went to plug in the next pack and out came the magical smoke! This esc has been solid since I got it in April and has seen moisture before and never had a problem, my v3 I sold with my revo seen plenty of snow and never had a problem. Gotta get ahold of castle today. Thankfully Mike had some extra monsters with him yesterday and I was still able to race, however some unfound electrical gremlins struck during the main, esc just kept shutting down and finally wouldn't power up at all. Afterwords I plugged it in and all was fine so. Gotta do some trouble shooting there.
