One sec; the *firmware* fixes BEC problems on the V1 and V2? How's that so? I'm not arguing, just a little confused as I thought it was an electronics issue?

If tthat's the case though, then I might just order a new...well, case (pun not intended, honest!).

Yes -- turns out that the software was allowing very fast changes to battery voltage ("spikes") which could cause BEC damage. The new software monitors the battery voltage thousands of times a second, and prevents the spikes that can damage the BEC (both during acceleration and braking.)

Thats pretty interesting!

So is the V3 going to have bullets for the motor and batt? If not, I need to find me a V2, get the new case, and firmware. I want to be able to have the bullets

Also, with the taller case, will the BL E-Revo mount be able to be used with the old case? Or will it have play? Or?
