Arh! this SUCKS leroy!!

smoking an entire setup.. :(

You are not using the mechanical brakes, right? is there a possibility that you put them on? I know a nice and cheap esc in case you can use a mechanical brake.

Do tell Serum.... You have my interest.:024:

Sorry to hear about the 36120.

I've run 8S so far with the CC HV110 and pistal adapter. There is a slight glitch with the throttle as the throttle seems to get stuck slightly forward. Other than that, the HV has been working well with mechanical brakes. No smoke yet and I'm hoping to keep it that way.

Got a link to this pistol adapter thingy?

Yeah it sucks. The esc has never been right since day one.
Bk is trying to put it off as a operator error.
Nope no mechincal brakes.
I think I will put the schulze on it for now. Since it does work. :D
Be limited to only 6s and 1950 8t.

Anyone for toast? Its a shame when these things happen; lots of hassle getting it mended/replaced, or having to fork out for new gear. I would say its by far the most worrying factor, especially when some of this stuff is bad out of the box, yet the manufacturer tries to blame you- unless its Quark that is, they seem like a great company for warranty stuff.

Yeah it is. Especially when the manfacturer is trying to say you doing something
wrong to cause problem. I have sent it back to them once and they said
it was ok. Cause of that it not broke we not fix attitude. I am going to
remove all bk stuff from my cars. I won't buy no more bk either.
I will be happy to give my money to quark mm or others.

Yeah, MM or a Quark all the way, although i've never ran a MM personally, but from what I hear. :027:

You should wait until Castle Creations release the HV Monster Max( if they ever thought about it)>>>

Man, that really sucks! So sorry to hear about that Coolhand.:002: Maybe it was actually the motor...maybe one of the winds shorted out? Who knows.

Captain, one of the Castle reps (Patrick something?...) did ask on the RC Groups forums about whether people would buy a HV MMM, and the response was generally "yes"...so I reckon they're definitely thinking about it. He did say it'd be pretty expensive though.

I'm ready to put $450 if it's gonna happen, even 500. It does not matter so long as it is going to bring what it is supposed to.

I have had the problem with this esc since i got it. It has even been back
to bk to get repaired. They said it was ok and updated the software.
I have been in a debate in emails with them over the esc not working like it
should. They trying to put it off on user error. The controler popped smoked.
It was sending constant electric thru the motor and smoked the motor.
May as well say about 800 bucks poof up in smoke.
All I got to say is Thanks BK!!!:036:

esc smoked, smoked the motor, which... did the batteries take a beating from the short? :eek:

They got warmer than ussual. I don't know if done damage. I am hoping not.
If so. I am out more money.
