Dang Dicky sorry to see you kill another. Glad the collateral was minimal. Every time I hear of one smoking I get a little more nervous about my V1......
Seems to be that according to Patrick the issue was more firmware than the original units. Even of a V1 does die I believe CC will replace it at anytime and not just hold you to the 1 year deal.
Wow, and to think I've only killed one electric motor, nothing else. Only fire I've ever had was when my old "N" truck smacked a tree at full throttle and split the fuel tank. Fuel right next to the hot exhaust, didn't work so well. One quick fireball and it was done though, thankfully!
