Hey guys, was testing power system yesterday and then suddenly the motor stopped, no smoke or anything, the LED's still sequence properly, but the motor doesn't turn. However the FET's on the brain board get hot quickly, not VERY hot, but probably at least 170F. I have not checked if there is a short somewhere yet, but I would think the ESC would not work at all if that were the case?

Anyways, I would need a new control board to get it running again, if that is the problem. Otherwise, do you guys think it's time I give up the "FrankenQuark" and get a MMM? I will sure miss it.

I race my Revo now, so whichever the racers out there recommend getting, either MMM or RX8?
