Hmm.. I just got off the phone with Castle Creations tech support. I sent in my MMX8S 1520-1650k combo under warranty because the ESC just stopped working after using it with, maybe 4 batteries worth or driving. I couldn't even access the ESC with the CastelLink cable/software and all of the ESC lights just stayed on (red/green/orange).
Been using it in the MT410 with Backflip LP tires.
First, Joe said that the ESC switch got moisture in it (not sure how that happened since it's "water proof" and I wasn't driving in puddles or the water. Isn't the ESC supposed to be waterproof. Also, he was telling me that I needed to go down in pinion size, like an 18T. I've been using the 24T pinion and he says that is what was causing the ESC to fail. I explained that I had a temperature gun and the ESC/Motor never got hot and I didn't run it too hard. Even if I did, it shouldn't stop working anyway. He kept saying "at the track" when I wasn't even at a track.
Anyone else having problems with that ESC combo?
