After making my way up to the A-main from the C-main event at Round 6 of the 2024 JBRL at HotRod Hobbies, my ESC had given out on me as I was running 2nd place with a handful of minutes still left to go and only an 8 second gap on first place. We discovered after the race that my ESC had started to cut in and out of life as it would randomly turn on and off periodically. I believe this had something to do with the impact I had with a nail on the pipe during the warmup laps. Granted, I wasn't going very fast or very slow, so I was surprised it ended up having a lasting effect. Either way, I had a ton of fun at my first big 1/8 scale race event and plan to do many more in the future!
@ ahh I’ve heard filling the bottom of the case with silicone for the board to sit on and using a nice gel pad mount saves them from that early demise lol I have one that came with a mbx8r eco I picked up that I pulled out for my hobbywing if you want a cheap replacement. I’m somewhat local
@ no problem! Tekin has some great customer service I’m sure they’ll get you squared away! I’ve been told you you do those little tips I mentioned they last pretty long
