150amps hobbywing esc in fire in my house!!!

[kostaktinos_mt]

thought i would put my 0.02 in the jar...

both the 80a and the 150a have already gone through 2 firmware revisions through the last month; the last one was released about 3 days ago... unfortunately the firmware release notes are literally useless as to what they fix/change/improve...

personally, i never had a problem with most of my hws [1x 80a, 1x 150a, 1x35a, 1x60a, 1x xerun120], while 3 of them [80a, xerun120, 35a] have literally been through hell and back [i even -purposely- tortured my 30$ ezrun35a in a 1/8 buggy with a 3s lipo and a maxximum to see when it will fry; it didn`t; don`t ask me 'how and why' though]... i did however manage to kill a xerun60 recently, but it was my fault [was deliberately pumping 4s in a '3s max' esc]...

...by no means should one consider any esc as undestructible or flawless however...

I did notice excessive current draw using the hw80A on my e-savage. It used to be drawing 81A peak. But now it is all in the 120A region. And run time is noticeably shorter. My batteries are still giving the same capacity so I don't think its the batteries. Maybe I should try a higher timing? Using the nxt setting from zero now. I guess my esc is very close to getting burnt huh. :D

Will update u guys on the current draw over a high timing during this weekend. Till then.
