I said.. I agree with the Ripple Voltage being a possibility.. But there is more and more data popping up that supports that the Batts shouldn't have been an issue. You are right without a data logger. there is no knowing.. What I DO KNOW.. Is that they are BRAND and were never used Lipos. That the airflow is bunk excuse because #1 the windshield is cut open a fair amount and 2. I never got more than half throttle and didn't run long enough to even heat up the motor let alone anything else. It flamed while at a walking pace for about 5 feet. I HIGHLY doubt I need a data logger to determine if I exceeded 300Amps, etc.. Obviously.. something went wrong.. I think that is in agreement. My point is.. On Paper.. It shouldn't have cooked. Not that fast, under that little use... Not unless the ESC failed and not because, solely, of ripple voltage.

I only posted this here to share info.
I can be honest that I am tired of being a beta tester for this ESC. I have spent(as many have) a lot of money. I didn't cut corners to try and tape together a rig that should go fast. I bought everything that I could find that was in the upper ratings of being preferred stuff. I have maxamps batts, NEU motor, Medusa Motor, Phatlines, Badlands, Hyperion DUO charger, etc etc.. I have not abused any of my stuff as I haven't had a chance to really even run it for any length of time. I have spent countless hours resoldering connectors to eliminate any issues there.
Between BEC failures, Flames ESCs and all the other wacky crap with the MMM V2, there is obviously more issues than CC is admitting. I think the mere fact that 2 other CC techs have joined in here to collect data supports that they know there are issues that they know nothing about the cause yet.
Again a fire is not a simple bec failure, it is caused by overload.[/QUOTE]
