MGM 22418 & 6S LiPo is No GOOD

I also have another MGM22418 that I run with 6S flightpowers, 1515 2.5D/F, 16/51 gearing in a HEAVY all aluminum Emaxx (big honkin MT beadlock tires & rims too). Zero cogging and temps are well within acceptable limits-quite cool actually.

I have not experienced-knock on wood-any problems with these ESCs...I think there has to be other issues that caused your problem.

Good to hear :) It just might be that those two had something wrong with them.

Here is the settings that were on both.

The burned_one pic was the first one that worked for about 1 min before it burned. That was on 1515/1.5D and two MaxAmps 5000mah 11.1v

The other_one pic worked on another motor (XLT-1 Nemesis) motor using one 5000mah 11.1v LiPo and then two LiPo's (22.2v) and the rest is history

What was your gearing...and was you gear mesh okay? I keep my gear mesh a little farther apart than some folks...just a hair. But it helps the gears spin with less resistance. Not trying to insult your intelligence but I once saw a guy that had the motor pinion pressed up against the spur so hard that the car would barely move! That would definitely put some strain on the motor and ESC. I'll get some screen shots of my MGM settings in the next day or so and post them...but in all honesty, I didn't really adjust too much...I think just the battery and brake.
