Nice sock to impede airflow, extremely heavy tires and wheels (I hate aluminum wheels BTW, what's the point?!), and an idiot who can't even type without cussing five times per sentence.
Looks to me stupidity is the recipe for disaster. Like the one poster said, all that money you could have gotten a data logger, or at least a temp gun. I also see he ran it for 40 minutes probably geared for 60 and going off road through tall grass.
I have beat the snot out of my V2 MMM on 6s and it always comes back for more. Then you have DickyT with 400 logged hours of hard use on his before it gave up the ghost. Not to mention all the other great success stories.

this is the most useless thread that ive read....15lbs truck+no body air flow and kind of filter on the esc= this kind of failure....there should be have a CAUTION manual book in each box of flux or erby and newbe should read this manul before use the truck....
im not better than other guy's..o no...but i never melt a mmm like it in this way...
