can an ESC kill motor

[bdebde]

Well, according to Plettenberg, yes it can and does happen. I have first hand experience, my Big Maxximum demagnetized after about 20 minutes running (3 seperate runs) on my MGM 16024. Plettenberg blamed the ESC and would not cover it under warranty. I tried the motor again (after new rotor) on a MMM, and the motor promptly demagnetized after about another 20 minutes (2 seperate runs). And of course Plettenberg blamed it on the controller and even said that others have had the same problem with the MMM's. So, I have a very expensive Big Maxximum with less than an hour of run time that is useless. I also now have a strong dislike for Plettenberg motors.
