Electric 8th Scale Buggy Racing (6mins unedited)

[MSP]

I wish I could have enjoyed racing on Sunday in the main, but I cooked my Neu motor that weekend... the motor's temp was 355 and smoked for nearly 20mins after I cut the power. Afterward I noticed that two of the three wire's insulation had worn at the backplate enough that the wires made contact with the can and was shorting out with every bump until the point of failure. Expensive meltdown, I've been wanting the castle 2200 anyway... LOL!! Lucky I didn't fry my ESC or the 5S lipo...
