smashed esc? - 07.27.2008, 03:13 PM

i landed upside down and two of the three capacitors (the upright cylinders on the mamba max) got smashed...what does this mean? can i still use the mamba max? it was like brand new and i cant afford a new one, i cant believe i broke it already...and im on vacation for two weeks so i cant get parts for a while...

thanks

You can replace the caps, but you'd be better off calling Castle and finding out how much it would be to repair it. It's gonna cost money, but not nearly as much as a new one.

In the future, you may want to rethink how it is mounted to keep it from happening again.

it still works fine, is it bad to use it?

Without the caps working correctly you will have issues. I would just send it in to castle.
