It didnt eat through the case, but if it had moved just another mm closer it would have.


Many months later, my MMM detonated, taking out those $200 in batteries too. Now I won't buy anything but cheap lipos. I got a pair of 2s 28c 5000mAh neuenergy lipos off of entjoles for $50, and everything else is zippy powered.

Remember this mike...





Oh the joy of running in sub freezing weather in a school parking lot before robotics... plastic doesnt like to flex at those temperatures..
