Lehner 3080 / 8 Brushless Motor ? fault

[mohanjude]

thanks for the reply - I will give the motor a try with the other BK controller (36.150). I know the schulze is not faulty as it runs other multi pole motors without any issues. I think the Lehner motor and this Schulze controller have some compatibilty issues. I can only assume that the previous BK controller caught fire and destroyed itself due to bad luck rather than a motor problem.

That ESC was rated for 150 amps and 42 volts. Running it on Enerland 25C 10S packs 6000ma should not have been a limiting factor as clearly the lipos can supply 150amps. However something went wrong and controller caught fire in 2 mins after trying to pull away. I am just worried that my remaining BK controller will catch fire if I cannot isolate the reason for the controllers spontaneous combustion. Luckily I managed to save the lipos, receivers - the aluminium roll cage / frame didn't do that well.
