That sounds better than just laughing about it, like it didn't matter at all cause you will just ship it back to CC and make them deal with it.

If there's a lesson learned then that's cool. But you do see how a lot of people get upset with abuse and theft etc that costs everyone in the end.

BTW, if there was an honest mistake and something smokes... that's different. The issue here was that you seemed to know it would very likely fry it and did it anyway cause "it's not my dime"

There's a lot of people here so it can keep a thread going for a while :)

You are going to be okay wildman. We all make mistakes...its knowing we made them and trying to fix them that sets apart the men from the weasles.

On another note...I have been in the RC hobby for what I consider to be a long time and I will tell you this...these guys in RCM know their stuff. In fact I will take it a step further...they (I am mostly referring to the Mods and guys with 1000+ posts...I'll call them RCM veterans) know it better than anybody in the industry-trust me I have searched high and low for a knowledge base this strong. Its up to all of us to try and do our part to maintain the quality that has been established by the hard work of our longstanding RCM veterans.

There are a lot of management types from various vendors that recognize the quality of this forum...and as such, they read these pages and pay attention to what we say. Lets make sure we maintain the standard so that they continue to listen...or at least take us more seriously than other folks in other forums.

i did not know it was going to go like that. i thought it would work fine. but i was wrong. or maybe it would work just i have to use a bec. but i still dont see the point to use a bec if its over 4 cells cause im running 4 cells on my emaxx right now and its doing great. i found anohter esc and put that in it and it works great.

so i dont see how using a bec would of not make it smoke.

but yah i have learned my lesson.

also no point in sending it in cause i got a new esc (the same one for like 30$)
