In all honesty it was one of "you guys" that caught it...wrote me an email, and I had that "oh @#$%" look on my face when I saw it. Got it changed within 5 minutes literally. The only problem with putting up a bulletin is where do you put it??? Sending it out to vendors won't do any good IMO as most don't know what the rating on the products they sell are anyways (the good ones like Mike do though and we LOVE that). Those that visit the site for the first time won't know the difference. Those that know our products I would hope know that it was an error, those that wrote me an email or called were informed, etc. Really nowhere to put it on the site...

And guys, I'll be the first one to say that I run my stuff out of warranty each and every time. Cars/planes/helis/boats...whatever...all out of warranty by far. Always have, always will, BUT I am always happy to pay for repairs when I was the cause of the failure. ;) PS...if you haven't figured it out...that video I put up on post 31...the ESC and motor are MOST DEFINITELY being run out of warranty. I run my stuff for a few minutes at a time to keep everything from overheating, and in the case of my pylon planes, I run 3x the recommended current through a motor but only do it for 55-60 seconds (the length of a race), then shut down and put a fan blowing on the motor. Treat your stuff well and it will last a LONG time. Treat it the way I do, and it'll fail...maybe not the first run, but eventually...and it won't be pretty when it happens.

Yeah it was there for a while but I was working on 6 * 3.7 * 2650 = 58k so figured you were good - I know at 4.2 you get 68... but given bearings are for a 100k figured you thought it was fine...

As you say it is all about application and gearing - 6s on a buggy geared for 40 with airflow is probably fine - E-revo on 6s geared for 65 on mashers with no airflow = silly warantee claim...

I received my Neu/CC 2650 yesterday and will be using it in my SC8E.Its a little longer than my 1512/1.5d and shorter than 1515/1.5d.My 2200 has run flawlessly on 4s 6000 and heat has never been a issue.My SC8E is lighter than a truggy but heavyer than a buggy so I think the 2650 should work great on 4s.Is the 2650 a wye wind like the 2200?My MMM timing is set at 5 degrees for the 2200 in the SC8E.All the snow is melted so its time to play outside.
