MrMin · **Bashed my EREVO and EMAXX -** 10.19.2008, 02:13 PM

I smoked my ERevo EVX2 today real bad.(just pressed the button and up it all went in smoke!!!) Not worth a repair or guarantee... That I will put in the erevo forum.. I need some advice there too. Oh well, all in a days "fun". I run 4S2P and turned the ESC wires to molten metal and fused right through.

Reason is: I am a little disappointed in the performance of my stock erevo. My emaxx works much better. I think I just got a bad one - my friends erevo works like a charm!!! The forward torque is bad and looks like the diffs or wheels are not balanced. The "reverse" was much better than forward. So I decided to recalibrate the EVX2 - bad move - I pressed the button and up in smoke it went - luckily the 25C lipos are in parallel and could smoke everything including the esc wires which is melted and fused open.

I think the problem with forward is mechanical, but not sure. Reverse works ok / well, but sounds like some rythmic ticking sound in reverse. EVX is totalled - will probably get a MMMv3 brushless combo to "fix" all my woes.

Tx for any advice.
