A Mistake?

[KINGSKID]

I've been running V1 since early may. Twice a week for Track practice, and once to twice a month racing.The first thing all of us should do to stop these things from going up in smoke is to run the fan wires out of the esc to another source. On both the V1 and V2 the fanwires come in contact with the edge of the circuit board and short out in time. Either use the reciever or balance plug to power the fan. Most whom made this move early with there esc's still are using them sucessfully. Hopefully they address this first in the V3.

both of my MMMs that died had the fan running plugged into the Rx.
