You need to add some things to your sig.
to - I'm going to the store.
too - I want to go too.
two - Buy me two beers when you get there.
brakes - Learn to use your car brakes.
breaks - You'll be sad when your car breaks.
I could go on and on. The spelling and grammar are appalling around here. The OP of this thread is a particularly good example.

i agree....people who respond to negative grammar feedback may not have the best knowledge of what is grammatically correct/incorrect. on the other hand, they are also people who do have that knowledge and are tired of reading others' irrelevant posts. do you think most people come here for grammar help or to learn more about r/c?

The misspelling of words that quite frankly any 5th grader should know is pretty pathetic.
Don't get me started on the people who post like they are texting on their phones.
Kan Ne1 help me chooz a new speed controller? Thx. Mines sux!

I think a lot of peoples issues with esc's come from improper soldering, thus damaging the circuit board. Just something to consider when reading negative comments on certain controllers. My Novak GTB is three years old, works fine. Great customer support from Novak as well. With the current that controllers are handling these days there are going to be meltdowns occasionally.

edumakated - yup, some teachers are horrible. mostly, it's the lack of important skills that are never introduced until the poor kids reach school that pose the problem. those are my final thoughts, i'm done wasting space on this poor guy's thread

10 gauge wire is especially difficult to solder. I make sure that my joints are solid. Many failures are also attributed to bad mounting to the chassis. I've always made sure there is some cushining between the esc and chassis. For the record:
-I've opened my mmm v2 about six times over the past year.
-Replaced the fan twice
-Soldered the fan wires back on to the board after the connector broke off
-Removed the fan/switch all together for an entire race season
-Been run/raced in extremly dusty conditions & snow that has collected on the bullets due to bad chassis sealing.
-Been run on 2s, 4s, 5s, & 6s lipos
-Still going strong
Maybe i am just lucky, but i've also been in this hobby long enough to know what I am doing/not doing. I've noticed that experience does seem to correlate with Castle esc failures, but as stated earlier, it mostly comes down to good soldering and mounting. Sometimes people don't have the right idea of what is good either. "Good" is when the soldered wire looks like a brush dipped in silver paint.

I am not a grammar nazi as I will readily admit that mine isn't 100% perfect. However, some of the grammar mistakes are just appalling and show how pathetic our schools have become.

Anyway, back on topic...
Anyone think that Losi will ever get the Xcelorin working?? I just got a great deal on a new 2.0 E buggy and I'm hoping it might actually work out.

When you can barely understand what the poster is trying to say, or when they write 1000 words with no punctuation at all, it becomes quite difficult to read. It also makes me tend to think that their (they're? there? no, their) problem with their R/C car might just be a general lack of intelligence. Sometimes that is not the case, but other times I just tend to ignore their question because you just can't fix stupid.

I thought you were saying that you fried your ESC. Perhaps you really meant that you friend your ESC?? (hate to think what that means)

Dude if you dont anything to say about this post than stay out. Yea i shipped it to horizon wednesday. They told me to send motor and speed contoller in. But didnt give me a reason why. I would really like to know. Because if it was something i did i dont want to do it again everybody i talk to said the brake setting's was the reason it quit. But i would like to know for sure.
