Hey, I have an old EVX also! Mine is fried and I've been debating about sending it in or not. I'm pretty sure that it was fried by water, but it could've been something else.
Do you think they'll still charge me the $40 + $5 shipping to replace it? And do you think there is any way they could send me a Marine version of the EVX2, since I'll be using it in a Traxxas Villain?
Or would it just be smarter to buy a used Mamba Max to use in my boat (brushed mode) and perhaps in another truck if I ever get one?
Whatever happens I would make the effort to send it in. You never know what may come of it, and what have you got to lose since it is already fried. I do know if they detect water as the culprit they will charge you for the mistake. Still they seem to be pretty good with their warrenty issues.
Alrighty thanks! I'll try to send it in when I get a chance. If they want to charge me $45 to replace it, I may just do that and then turn around and sell it for $60 if I can, or trade for a Mamba Max or similar.
