It's too bad there isn't some sort of fuse block available to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

do me a favor and go over this whole disaster.
the servo was bad from the beginning (but worked?) on the BEC it didnt glow red hot but a reciever pack gave the short enough to make it glow?

did castle say the mmmv1 may of damaged the servo?

Well, it would be impossible to prove that any of the MMM's fried my servo, so there's really no point in even thinking about it. I'm gonna suck it up as a loss, and be happy the damn thing works. And, as it turns out, it works great! BL is awesome!! The power is just INSANE!!!! I'm gonna get the servo fixed, it was too much money to dump it.

I got mine so quick because, well, I don't know. From what I understand, there was an extra 100 made for just in case, and they must have been pulling from that pile for me. They did the right thing though, I mean, I pre ordered mine in what, April? 1st broke, the v2 broke, then they sent another becasue they felt bad, and when that puffed, they did it again. I have no idea why others are still waiting, but should I have been put to the back of the list every time? Don't think so.

However, 30 seconds into the maiden run, my 2 brand new pre mounted phaltlines blew out the foams because of an improper glue job at the factory, so I have no street tires now. I will call hpi tomorrow - $50, and they lasted literally about 30 seconds. BS!

At some point I would imagine, things WILL STOP going wrong for me!

just re-glue them. BL makes so much torque that premounts never hold their bead long, even a proper done personal job will lose it's bead much sooner than a nitro would. CA just can not hold the torque of BL for long. I keep a bottle of glue in my pocket every time i take the truck out

Glad to hear it is running well.

I had the same problem with the pre mounted Phaltlines (full set of 4), returned them to HPI and asked that they send me unmounted ones. They did but it took a couple months because the tires were out of stock (got the wheels in a week or so).
