-actually both cars ran in the same basement. Could be coincidence that both of them run into water?
Capacitor on the RX was a suggestion out of our own experience. We run the same ESCs in our GT Spec class (TEU101/104/105) and have experienced similar problems most especially with the 104 and 105. We found that the ESC tends to protect itself after some time. So far the cure we found is to run a capacitor on the RX and put a fan on the ESC. Since then, most of the guys would be able to run their batteries down.
With the car on a stand, try turning it on and wiggling the wheel on your transmitter end to end rapidly... you'd notice your cars wheels will start to turn slowly...
