Hmmm.

I think thats called a MR Kipling,

Explain ?:)

its called fubard

i think its time to go sensored and buy something of quality

Nah, it's definitely Failed Under Calibration, Known Electrical Defect ;)

not gearing then ?

tbh it was mega hot to melt the solder and then a battery wire has shorted on one of the capacitors

what i think did it was i hit a verge of brambles in the wood which may have move the already loose wires causing the short

althought i left the bugger to burn bacuase i was unsure weather it was my lipo or the esc there was alot of smoke :thumbsup:

It's some kind catastrophic failure, if the ESC had of gotten too hot it would have thermaled and shut down.

Could of been a short like you say, or one of the FETs let go big style, it might have been bit of water got in there (I had one of the Mamba Micro's go with water - it was spectacular!) or it could have just been it's time to go!

What esc was it?

mr kiplin as in if a jobs worth doing it worth doing exceeedingly well,

ahh, I thought you mean "baked well", ahem......taxi! :blush:

ahh mr kipling i see

so its not over geared ? i ws running 21/87 and the motor wasnt warm at all

and thinking about it it didnt thermal shuy down it has before tho so its buggered itself basically

i think m8 it is what i would call cream crackered and deamed fit for the bin:thumbsup:
