Ok, yesterday I spent 6+ hours completely rebuilding my 2.0 complete with new chassis (cracked at rear), new MIP Puck drives, all 3 diffs were redone with new bearings, shocks serviced, new TLR alloy caster block replaced (driver side broke, Ryan D handed me a replacement at the track, THANKS!) etc...
Last week I had my H-wing SCT Pro ESC catch fire. I will be taking better care of this almost new setup. My question is, what steps can I take to avoid a catastrophe like this from happening again? I am not sure why my truck ran so hot? How long per outing should I be running my truck? I am fairly new and we typically run until the battery dies which is 12mins +~...

Not really suggested to run your packs till they "Fall off"
What do you have your cut off set at ? or does the H-wing have a cutoff ?
Are you running any type of heatsinks or fans ? what packs ?

Check to make sure your temps are not all that high and give the electronics a little rest between runs to cool back down. Electronics catching fire could be a few things from abuse to manufacturing defects to damage caused in crashes. It helps to buy from a company that will support and back there prodcuts here in the US if you can as well!

Depends on how you gear the car on how long you run. I typically and not a fan of taking a car to lipo cutoff but if you do I would turn the cutoff up a little especially for a high drain vehicle like the SCTE.

What thickness of diff fluids are you running?

I run Tekin and although they have good customer support they seem to be fragile and you have to run about 1/4" of tape underneath to prevent shock from browning it out.
I tried the Hobbywing SCT Pro esc and it works great, its cheaper, just like an Orion, smooth and the support is there. The motors run great too.

I run 5/7/5, just rebuilt the diffs and added puck drives. 1st time out tonight and I was super pleased.
I would like to run Tekin or anything other than H-wing but my local shop, also the track I run at (OCRC) supports and swears by H-wing. It is cheaper too...

The drivetrain doesn't move freely under full compression like that, but your shocks should never be able to get to that point when driving. I have never had any issues on the track or had this affect the vehicle at all.

Tech Rookie
has been a long time since my last post.
car is holding up very good, taking into consideration that i am a very clumsy driver. have some minor parts on order for security reasons as there is no distributor in greece and i would not want to be without a car in case of a failure.
this is my second body shell. i do not intend to use it for racing.
