Noooooooooooo! Not Number 4?!?!?!?!?

WTF??? I took my truck out for the first time in the dirt yesterday with the wife and kid. After about 8-10 min, it just stopped working!!! I figured I had a dead battery, so I went to swap, but no sirree; I now have ANOTHER dead MMM. Yes folks, this is my THIRD dead V2, FOURTH MMM total!! Maybe 5th time's a charm??

The only thing I can think of is that before running it yesterday, I dropped the punch control even lower (limits power more), changed the timing to whatever the next is below neutral for cooler temps, and raised cutoff voltage to 19V. Then I ran a few minutes and died.

I thought this was over, guess not. No more smileys either. At this point in time, I think it's safe to say that the switch to brushless was EXTREMELY STUPID, and I should have stuck with nitro. When nitro breaks, you can SEE it, and FIX it. When an ESC breaks, you don't know why, and you have to send it back. And it's like a bad surprise when it happens. BL/LIPO sucks! There, I said it!! I want my nitro setup back! I'll take regular maintenance over waiting forever for parts that work anyday. What a waste of time and money this was!!

Anybody want to buy my setup???

End rant.
