POP! goes my Mamba Max...

[BP-Revo]

Well, I have no idea WHY it happened, but my Mamba Max is fried...

I hit the track today, and about 15 minutes into my first run, after landing a jump and spinning out, when I went to start, it cogged like crazy...

I thought maybe something was jamming the driveline, maybe the mesh got messed up...so I took it back to the work bench. Everything seemed fine, so I turned it back on, gave it a bit of a test rev, and it seemed to work fine. I walked it back out on the track, put it down, and went to drive to the side so no one would hit it while lapping (while I climbed up to the driver stand) and it just gave a fit of cogging and went nowhere. Took it back to the bench again and now I can't even get the motor to spool...

Anyone have any idea whats wrong? Maybe its NOT the Mamba Max but something else? Its my only ESC for now, so I can't actively test, but I really can't see it being anything else. The fact that it spooled up fine for a bit showed the motor was OK,and, being a Lehner, I give it a low probability of having any problems.

So...10 dollar practice fee for a mere 15 minutes of driving (and that track happens to be closing at the end of this week, so my last time there I get stuck with a broken truck).
