It had close to 35-40 full packs ran through it... It was working great!

THEN I let my girlfriend drive it, and look what she did within 10 min....

My outlook on everything, is that these things happen, and that if you get mad at everylittle thing, then nothing will ever get done...

Plus I know that CC has the greatest customer service in the RC world...

I'm sorry that THIS had to be your first post!

Welcome to the forums!

CC does have great service. Unfortunately it may take a while to get your replacement. They are somewhat swamped right now.

P.S. - That is A LOT of smoke!

I think it's actually a pretty darn good first post.

What did the gf do to it?

Texas-Pete · 08.30.2008, 10:25 PM

Yeah, it's a pretty big amount of smoke... Oh well....

I've actually been over on the Trx forums for a while, and could never quite seem to get my account over here working, so I made a new one... Thanks for welcoming me!

Ugh... I don't know... Mabye I'll call and speak directly with them on Tuesday... That way I'll get in before anymore might fail...

EDIT:

The girlfriend drove it around the yard for a while... the it starts smoking, and the first thing she says is "I swear I didn't do it"

It's not a bad one, I just meant that he didn't have a chance to say "Hi guys! Here's my truck! What do you think?". It looks like the front end was pinned under that barrel-looking thing and the GF was on the throttle...

Looks nice! A little blast-from-the-past, huh?

looks like she backed it into a corner ,it got stuck and she has mashed the throttle with the wheels locked and overloaded the esc. that usually creates smoke .

Naw, I was standing there watching, and it just rolled there, she was trying to turn in to a opening and it rolled straight... And there's a slipper that isn't really tightened down all the way, so the wheels wouldn't have locked...

What's_nitro? · 08.30.2008, 10:48 PM

Haha, well I guess you can't blame her then! I bet she freaked out when it started to smoke.

I remember my gf watching me run my brushless mini inferno/quark 33 setup when it smoked and caught fire. She screamed like it was a horror movie (kinda shocked me in the process).. but I laughed and watched the carnage.
