Surely I'm the cursed one?
A month ago the screws holding the case together on a MM of mine came undone, and the BEC stopped working. I tried to repair it, no luck.
Thursday at the track, my V1 MMM dies after more than a year of faithful service, 5min. into it (in my buggy). It still had the original (shallow) case, so the BEC inductor had broken up over time from repeated abuses.
Also on Thursday, my 2-week-old 2200 motor decided it didn't like the front endbell screws, so it allowed them to loosen up. The rotor ground into the stator, and the rotor's wrapping material was shredded throughout the motor.
Yesterday (Saturday) I was running a MM4600 combo on 4s 3700mah Lipo with a CCBEC. I dropped from a 20t pinion to 18t to lower the temps (and they lowered by about 30 deg. F). 10mins into the run the truck slowed and I realized there was smoke coming from the motor. Just a minute before it was maybe 110 deg. F.
You ain't got nothing on me
. And that's only in the last month... Don't even want to think about all other CC equipment I've killed.
