Funny thing... had a backup gen1 forever and haven't needed it (I think almost 2 years now).
Let my buddy use it because his brushless hobbies fried.
What do ya know... that same day I finally needed a backup ESC

Positive bullet came unsoldered, wire was old and should have been replaced a bullet swap out or two ago.
No smoke, no smell, new power wires... would not power up.
Removed switch, still no power.
Bought a gen2 to finish the day, same wires that were on the ESC I was changing out.
So I guess I will upgrade my gen1 to a gen2 and sell my other gen1 when my buddy is done with it or he can just buy it from me... probably his best option.
