MMM getting HOT!

well, I tried a practice run today. Bad things happened. Whenever a bad thing happens, it ends with a "Y". Lets see, strippY, grindY, breakY, crunchY, shortY, snappY, wreckY, crashY, And today... MELTY!...

Plugged in the packs, ESC armed, touched the gas, the motor cogged, and Whoosh, Mushroom cloud of smoke, then large flames. Melty.

I said oh $hitty.

Needless to say, bad day, and something was obviously wrong. Already have a Tekin coming, and when the MMM gets back, it will be sold. I got the RX8 2050 buggy combo.

Changing a MMM 2200kV combo with a tekin 2050kV buggy combo would be bad :( Tekin buggy motor are undersized for 40mph geared races and will overheat compare to your castle/neu motor :(
At least, use the castle motor if you want to keep same top speed and lap time, other than that you will have to gear the tekin lower if you don't want to kill it...
