My buddy just ran his brandy new T4.1 and the ESC burnt. He took it out of hte box, put a new end on the ESC to match the rest of his stuff, put a brand name 3s lipo in it and after about 200 yards the esc totally melted down. what would cause this? will it be covered under warranty?

I think you're suppose to use a 2s battery

Brushless or brushed?

wtf does "." mean

If the esc is not covered under warranty I, personally, would get a Mamba Max Pro. These esc's will handle everything you can throw at it and their customer service is second to none. My 2 cents.

simmer down dude, I posted the specs for the brushed ESC before you posted it was the brushless version. I edited it.

i don't get how it was 50% more than it could handle, this is the system that is in it isn't it? he bought the rig from tower thats why he used this site to get specs, they sold him the 3s FOR the thing over the phone.

my bad Matt just pissed about this as I am the one who pointed him to tower for specs and advice on what battery to put in, just trying to get my shit straight before i see what his options are.

If you didn't put a really small pinion on it with the 3 cell pack you could of overheated the esc really quickly as well.

he didn't do anything, he took it out of the box and put the batttery in it and ran it, as the specs on the brushless system said 3s

aarongreen123

so am i crazy or is this thing rated for 3s?
