MMM Explodes into FLAMES!

[jpoprock]

Ok, here is an update on where I'm at. Still waiting on the MMM to come back from CC. However, something interesting has came about regarding the Neu. I sent pix to Neu and they responded saying that it looks like one of the wire leads had shorted, which means it will have to be sent back in for repair. He said that they would have to replace the stator.

A friend of mine was telling me that Neu now does something different with their leads because they were having problems with them shorting out on the can. This makes me think... what if the motor shorted out and THAT is what smoked the ESC?

YES, I was overgeared, and YES that isn't good. But as I've said before, I hadn't been running the truck hard AT ALL with those Moabs, only by PURE LUCK. My situation wasn't such that I was able to get on it. I was only putting around the yard and low to med speed, and only for about 20min tops. Sure the tires could have did the ESC in, but I don't think the ESC fire caused the motor to short. Wouldn't it seem more like the other way around? Just a thought.

Thanks!
