I ran it here and there for a couple of times over the course of two or so weeks maybe 2-3 full packs. The day i got the magic pink smoke i was running it up and down the street just fine tuning the steering trim. I turn it off and switch to my Losi with the rx8 gen1 (which is still rock solid for me btw) and play with her for a bit and then switched to the tekno and noticed it wasn't going anywhere.... I saw the led code flashing. Looked it up and found it was the "wrong motor type" led code. Weird. It was running just fine 10 minutes ago. I switch it off and switch it back on again and it turns on just fine with no error code. Sweet she's back. OK maybe it was a glitch. I get a pass or two down the street and as she pulls in I see pink smoke. F*CK!!! i pull one of the battery leads to cut power. Luckily I was running with no body else my truck would have melted I have a hell of a time getting the body clips off in a timely manner.

This esc has not seen a jump, crash, or even dirt. Mounted with Kyosho zeal vibration absoption pad. I took every precaution.


Tekin, do we have a software bug/glitch with the gen2?
