Well, why is it that when ever I pull out a new toy to show it to a significant person something like this always happens???
Plugged in my XL, was beeping for a bit until I realized I hadn't plugged it into the receiver since downloading my last run...
plugged it into the receiver and it didn't arm. So I unplugged the batts from it, and plugged them back in.
Went through it's start-up routine just fine, armed, and I drove the car about 20 feet. It stopped wheels turned (like the BEC turned off) then came back to life, drove another 2 feet and FIRE!!!
My new super bad azz Mamba XL is dead, and it tried to take my car and lipo's with it. The batts appear fine aside from a little loss of heat shrink in a few spots and the receiver looks ok too.
I just plugged in my MMM and the car runs/ drives fine. Looks like I'll be spending some time on the phone tomorrow with Castle support.




If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
