Well I plan on running Big Joe's 40 series as well, but I'm not sure if even going to attempt 6S power now and I've always kept my gearing 44/20 and i've leaned the power on the CC link and im running 28C SMC LiPos. Will I be ok?
Oh, and that "sock" is a special designed filter that MANY people uses without issues on their Baja's, so I fail to see how that could be even considered a possible cause of the fire

And Jesus, dont' shoot the messenger. I'm a first time customer to CC, noobie to the brushless AND LiPo world who also spent ALOT of money on his Flux that he wants to protect. So i'm CONCERNED CUSTOMER and wanna prevent a tragedy like this so i'm asking the head hancho's themselves on who/what is at fault here so I don't become another failed/expensive noob RC statistic
