MMM up in smoke - 05.18.2008, 09:53 PM

So I ran my emaxx today in the dirt for the first time. I ran on pavement twice and it ran great, except the motor (7xl) got hot. Well, the truck ran for about 5 mins and then just stopped. Mass amounts of smoke came out and when the dust settled the MMM's plastic casing melted and the wires to the batteries melted completely off. The deans connector to my flightpowers also melted off. Not a pretty sight, I just hope I didn't ruin my batteries. Not a happy camper!

By the way, I'm running the 4cell flightpower 4900mah 25c geared at 22pinion with the stock spur. I hope castle covers this under warranty or something.
