Actually... I had the capacitor lead break on me and didnt realize it. The esc overheated pretty darn fast runnnig without a cap. But... to the little guys credit, as soon as I put a new cap on it it was running good as new. This time I put a short section of flexible wire beween the cap and the sloder posts. The rigid wire on the cap must have broke from the vibratrion. I had it tied down, but it must not have been enough to prevent a little flex in the wires and it allowed them to fracture over time.

Other than that, it actually ran fairly cool on the meduim to mild setup that I run for the track. I did notice the plastic case got a bit warped after the capacitor incident. It does look rather wonky in the picture. lol


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
