I'm not doin anything crazy with it, I only race with this truc so It's never gotten wet, been running high quality 2s lipos in it, never got it hot, the hottest the motor has ever been thus far is like 130 and the ESC is always cooler than that.

I've checked (and had other more experienced guys check) my solders, everything looks fine, but same result.

I've tried different batteries, same result.

I've changed the receiver (Airtronics), same result.

I've changed the sensor wire, same result.

I'm out of ideas, anyone have any?
