Fried Lehner 1940? Help!!! -
06.17.2007, 02:59 PM
Alright, I had my first race at the track today. Actually it was a qualifier and not the main. It was 6 minutes of qualifying and they wet the track down. Well, I made it through to the end but at a heavy cost I'm afraid. The wires from my ESC got so hot that they separated from bullet connectors and the motor was 232. Yes, 232. :036: Now it's totally locked up and won't move.
My setup as some of you know was a Lehner 1940/10 hi-amp, Hyperion 4s 4350, MM, 13t pinion and 44t spur running in a CRT. I've run it on the track before and only on one occasion did it get to 180. And the run times have been about 18 minutes. Today wasn't very hot either.
So I'm guessing it's a loss other than the battery at this point. I didn't check the temp on the ESC, but I'm just assuming. So is there anything I can do? Does Lehner do repairs? And if so, do I have to wait a year and pay for another motor anyway? Any help would be great.
Oh, the good thing is that I finished TQ and the 2nd place guy was 22 seconds behind me. Not bad for a first race, eh? :005:
