Hi people, I had a Hobbywing EZrun 150a esc in my MGT, and it started to play up. The symptoms were loss of use of other channel, eg: while using throttle, could not use steering, and vice versa. Does this sound normal? and could it have been the beginning of the end for my esc?
I ask half knowingly as shortly after this occurance, my truck made an odd noise, like a component going bang, then some smoke, then an almighty "plhuuuuughhhhh" and the 6s in the back went up, billowed smoke down the street and melted my bodyshell, cell tray, cell monitor, straps, side guards etc.
I'm just trying to determine whether it was the esc or the well cared for, hardly used, tip top nick, perfectly balanced lipo that was to blame. As I'm now in the market for an 8th esc (be my 4th) and wondering whether to go for the same again.
Has anyone experienced their 8th HW esc going up?
