Do Not Open Your Cases Anymore

[George16]

Hobby's are expensive.. and if you are running RC and BL... you are investing a fair amount of money into the hobby... and we ALL know the BL stuff tends to run on the edge and push limits. It's to your enjoyment benefit to have the ability to invest a little more and be able ot keep playing when the nearly inevitable failures happen.

Not everyone into this hobby have the same financial capabilities like you do. To talk generalities and assumption to everyone is not the best thing in my opinion. Yes, failures can happen but not everyone expects the product they just purchased will only last a couple of hours or so as an example.

Just like my personal experience the ESC I bought from Luciano, I posted on this board my thoughts regarding the build. I noticed right away that the mounting of the capacitors can be improved. I informed Luciano about it and changes were made at the factory to improve the quality. Anyway, I still ran the ESC in stock form and it only lasted about 6 minutes. The smoking end was all videotaped for everyone to see.

After receiving the replacement ESC from him, the first thing I did was to install new capacitors given to me by killajb(thanks again), taped, and shrink-wrapped them along with the stockers. I also fabricated a 3mm aluminum backing plate after Linc noticed that the bottom plate needs some reinforcement. I beat the crap out of this ESC after these mods were done and it's still running fine.

And no, I don't have any replacement esc or motors. However, I do have my nitro supermaxx trucks to run with while waiting for the MMM and 70mm Medusa to arrive .


Edit - By the way, RC is not a very good investment .
