As Perris would say, "That's Hot"
 

I was running my single BL Maxx today with a receiver pack (some of you may remember that my Ubec keeps getting hot and burning up it's little capacitor) and I checked the temps on the speed control and it was 200 degrees! Motor was about 145-150. I checked everywhere for some kind of short but come up with nothing. Any suggestions? It is a 9920/9L on 14cells.
Thanks.

Yeah, I burnt out the UBEC also. What it ended up being is the batteries were touching the chassis. The cusion that Gorilla Maxx gives is not enough. I shrink wraped my batts and replace the UBEC with another one and I have not had the problem since. Also use the little squares that come out of the blue cusion to conver the x braces that are near the batts because I also witness some arching.

My batts are shrink wrapped and I am using the stock chassis but I will inspect the batts again just to make sure.

what kind of gearing are you using?.... and what size tires?...

wow that is pretty hot,,,try regearing and your temps should drop

lol, i got bout 150 a coulpe tiems with the same setup

I've been running this setup for a while now and havn't had these issues until recently. Gearing is 66/20 with a tire that is about a little over half an inch shorter than the stock tires.
Thanks.
