So, while I do think the plug is a problem, and has perhaps caused problems, there must be another possible cause in addition.


I modded my case before I powered up my V2, I removed some material from the bottom of the case to make room for the fan connector and I also did a small amount of relief work for the induction coil. Regardless the BEC failed just after calibration with my radio. I beleive the case is a problem and is possibly causing a few malfunctions but believe a more likely explanation would be

A: Faulty parts
B: Assembly fault (my money is on this)

I would think that after all the V1 failures that the CC techs would of gone over the design of the BEC with a fine toothed comb. This leads me to believe that the same problem from the V1's is also effecting the V2's. Is it possible an assembly technique is to blame here?

Has anyone noticed how close the control board is to the back of the FET board? I wonder if when they solder these boards together there is some sort of issue???

Just some observations... I love CC regardless

What are everyone else's theories????
