Can’t really say if it’s an issue with the buggy or not. I’ve had 5 ESCs burn up. They will just stop putting power to motor. I’ve burnt up one Tekin rx8 - 3 hobbywing Xr8 plus. And a hobbywing SCT. I’ve also tried 3 different motors. It very random when it happens. The last one I put in about 20 laps everything was fine. Let cool down and ran two laps then it quit. I’m leaving all esc settings factory. I’ve also swapped the receiver. I had multiple people look at my solder joints with no issues. I follow programming per instructions. I’ve also tried two different sensor wires. All ESCs and motors have been new. I’ve tried two Tekin G3’s and a hobbywing 1900kv. The esc and motor never get about 150. I’m lost. Any ideas?

How is your battery? I would look towards the battery, if you have not changed it out. That is not normal at all.

Extremely weird. How does the car run when it's working?

you might be overgeared or binding.

I've witnessed several of his escs quit working. What he's not telling you is he keeps running into $hit. J/K. Its crazy what kinda luck he has had. Car is not binding and he is running the same gearing that I am. I have no issues. 16 tooth pinion on medium/large track. Hopenwe get it figured out andy before you file bankruptcy

Might be the lipo battery. I just had a lipo kill my ESC and motor. My lipo looked normal and no puffing. I decided to look inside of the lipo because I have had not had any issues with my EB 48 2.0. A wire broke inside the lipo and caused the issue - thank goodness the lipo just cut off and buggy just stopped.

Can you post some pics of the car? Focus on the electronics and wiring.

I too have had two Brand new RX8 ESC burn up. I don’t think it’s anything to do with my EB48.2.0 though, it’s has to be the ESC just has issues

4s and up vehicles need additional filter caps across the power terminals. I like the hobbywing cappacks but even just a 1000mF soldered across the terminals would be beneficial.

That's a bit of a stretch in regards to ebuggies because the KV is so low.
