I think you should be placed in the guiness book of world records for person to kill most ESCs in a 30 day period...

Would i be right in assuming this comment came from "brushlessboy"?

When you say "cutting out" - was it turning everything off - even steering??

There is some 'part' inside of mine (at the bottom) that has come loose, and eventually stopped the esc working all together... It seems that i could press firmly on the bottom of the esc, and it would make contact with this 'part' and the esc would boot up again... but when pressure is taken away, the esc dies again...

I solved this short term yesterday on a small track i was messing on, by adding a small plastic 'block' underneath the esc, and zip tied the crap out of it to keep it held down... it worked for a while, but a few hard landings, and she was dead all together, and a i couldn't get it on again by pressing the bottom of the esc...


I know it was a long intro/explanation - but i was just wondering if this is maybe what has happened to you also?

*edit*
I know there is something loose inside, as i think i may have helped pull it apart further than it was when this problem first happened... i unscrewed the case after it first cut out a couple times, but couldn't get the bottom completely off, as there was some 'electrical looking part' that appared to be stuck to the bottom of the esc casing - which is the part i was thinking had come loose... i made it worse by playing with it tho -lol-
