Hey Randy, quick question. My RX8g2 is over 120 days old, but I'm pretty positive a post came out right at the warm up laps of my A2 run this weekend. I came off a larger jump, flash of light, etc. I'm no big sponsored guy, but I'm competitive and my equipment is kept in very good condition and everything is checked before every race. Below is what I do to my vehicles nearly every weekend, so lack of maintenance or abuse is not applicable here.



I think the only saving grace was the EB48 body may have starved the fire and stopped a fireball. Amazingly enough, it appears that only the ESC may be damaged. The servo, chassis, battery are all good. I haven't tested the RX or motor yet. The ESC was mounted on kyosho gel, as well as the tekno o-ring setup, so the ESC has about as good of protection as it will get.

I'm kind of getting the run-around from support on if this is covered or not. They staying things like the wires are too short (which makes no sense since I clearly have 3-5" service loops between the ESC/motor not 1" wires), etc. As well, on the motor, do I test it and see, do I send it in for a check just in case? They haven't answered that question in the email either.
