mmm up in smoke

polarity was fine and it smokes once i turned the switch on, iam itching to drive this truck it only has the 5 min setup run on it cant wait for the snow to melt, but now i maybe waiting longer

I had 2 go this way once on 6s and once on 5s with 1515 1y both times, first time it was just after i put a fresh battery in, second time esc stopped responding and i thought the switch had flopped on me so i slid it over and nothing, slid it back and it instantly started shooting flames and smoke. both times for no apparent reason, mine is now out of warranty after recent replacement and can only pray i do not lose another this way as money has been tight the way it is so it would have to sit.

agreed it could get expensive if this keeps happening. anyone know if your warrenty starts over once you get a replacment from castle?

if it dosent then maybe if i get warrenty ill just sell it and get another brand because it is my first castle product and i havent even really run the truck yet, not saying anything bad about castle product but just my 2 cents alot of ppl love there products just my bad luck i guess.
