So Brian, you'd say that the ESC smoking when I ran 2s was a fluke? It happened in the first 2 minutes run on a brand new esc. I ran plenty of 2s packs through a different esc after that, and never had a problem but I changed my habbits when I finally talked with (I forget his name) at CC. He didnt say it was an absolute NO but he said 'Why only 2s?, your pulling lots of amps that way'. So I went with 3s or 4s.

eovnu... I didn't experience cogging on 2s. I ran 8000 12c and 4000 25c 2s packs. When a bunch of us on my track would run 2s, it made for some really tight races, almost like a spec class.

Maybe Im a bit paranoid but rightfully so... I own 3 MMM's and have had 4 warranty claims. (well 3 through Castle and 1 from HPI). I have always tried to do the right thing, never abusing my stuff.

Thanks for the replies guys.
