I burnt 1 esc up during or after a run not sure when it went. 1 didnt work right out of the box and the third burt up testing it for about 3 minute in the pits.I am not sure why they let go the high gearing or the hitting the breaks after the run. I had them set at 25% breaking. As far as running smaller motors with a mmm esc alot of guys were doing it. Nic Case put one in a sedan for testing and ran 129 mph on 3s one of the fastest mph of the meet. It was amazing he could run it that fast on 3s everybody was wondering wtf! I know for a fact his motors are way smaller in diameter than a 1515 size.

I knew I was going to burn up at least one esc trying to figure out what gearing I could run but hey I only paid like $75 dollars for it on the bay. The new one that never worked I paid full price for,that should get replaced for free. The other one I am not sure about. I think Joe Ford might take care of me since I broke the and hold the current record with their esc. Another thing I learned is suspension set up has alot to do with the way the car or truck runs down the track. I need to fine tune mine and it should help me get down the track in a straight line. I was discussing wider tires in the rear with another racer out there it could help that issue also. Now that myburnt esc's have made my whole truck smell like a ash tray. Is there a way to check the motor as far as resistance to make sure I didnt hurt it? It smells burnt but the whole truck smells that way also.
