NOOOOO!!!!!
Not cool!!!!
Was the ESC rated for the 5s, if so, you think it was a fluke and you can get a new one?

Sorry to see this, I know how hard you've been working on this, everything seems to be ging against you, eh?

Damn, that sucks :(

Very nice work on the E-revo so far though DickyT. Its amazingly fast and agile.

NOOOOO! The E-Revo was doing so well. BTW I subscribed to your videos.

Oh no man :( maybe you should bump it down to 4s, you seem to be having no luck with that 5s.

The ESC was rated for 6s.... grrr.... but has a history of not doing 6 well, but 5s just fine. I guess I got a bad one.

NOOO! OMG! you just can't cut a break. I guess those truerc lipos are just too powerful.

you know guys, its not fun having that happen, much less being the guy filming while he almost crys in anger, like all of us would. but strange how he lost one RC, and minutes later he was installing BL in my Touring/Drifter we did a little trading for. maaaannnnnn that thing FLEW!!!!.. couldnt keep it going straight..

DickyT, you BETTER get that tuned in for sat man. i will definatly be happt to take some video of that also. :)

[DickyT]

When are they going to send you a new esc ?

[DickyT]

no clue, they have not even answered their phone or responded to my e-mail. I'm about to file a bbb claim.

[SavagePede]

^ That would definitely be a nice thing, but then we'd be living in a perfect world.

Shame to see bad things happen to such a sweet rig. Bugger. At least it's a problem you can fix.

After this are you going to buy another one of their esc's or get your money back and wait for the mmm esc to come out ?

[DickyT]

MGM or MMM
