Took the car out and smoked my ESC after about 15 minutes.

Quite odd. Batteries were under 100F and motor was at 130F. Of course the ESC was hot (180F), but that was after it let out the magic smoke.

The esc was a V1 and I was running 4S.

So looks like I'm down for another week or so until I get a replacement from CC. If I get desperate, I may snatch the MMM out of my truggy.

For the 15 minutes it ran, it was GREAT. Soooooo much torque. The Imex tires are crap on the street. 4WD power slides on command.
