Sent my Rx8 in for a warranty repair, was in the facility for 2 days and shipped back priority.

Great service- just dont hope I have to use it again

Do you store your stuff inside in a cool, dry place or out in the garage? Maybe that is a reason some of your escs failed...

Don't see how you can have such bad luck.

And I wouldn't expect service that fast. Thats amazing.

Negative, sealed workshop..

the rx8 failed because of a faulty lower PCB- seems to be a few failing like that- dont think this one was my fault.

What happens when this problem arises? Mine just turned off as if the power wires (or something power related) were unplugged... There is something loose inside the bottom of my esc, and i was able to press on the bottom of the esc, and it'd boot up again...

Similar to yours or something else? I'm gonna send mine in when i get back from bali - have a working trip to make for a couple days...

Mine acted like it was working fine- But none of the control board's signals were being sent to the power board.

Leds, BEC, temp sensor all worked.

Same problems here! 1 completly dead sent in a month ago, not back yet

. 2nd unit has the same probs as "danhfvcsd" descripes.

What I did: opened the case (unsolder wires first) after that I cleaned it well with a soft brush. I put some extra foam inside to press both boards firmly together. Closed the case, en no problems again for a long while.

Now the problems are back after a few heats racing. I'm going to open it again and have a look.

I will take some pictures to show you guys.

Hope this week my spare ESC will return then the 2nd will go for a trip to USA

Both of those units that are shutting off need to be sent in for proper diagnosis and repair.
