I don't think there have been 3 failures...only larrydino (on RCM and Traxxas) and mk351e have reported a failure...so, same person on 2 different forums plus mk351e on here...that's 2 V2's. Also, mk351e's died on calibration, so that's probably just a fluke.

Does anyone dispute this? I sure hope I'm not wrong.

We know of two failures -- both were infant mortality. One we suspect was a bad solder joint, the other we don't know yet.

OK, so now I know that MK351e's failures were due to his adding a resistor to the speed control (bad mod.)

So, things are looking pretty good for the V2 so far.
