Has anyone else experienced this happening or did I just draw the short straw?
I bought this about two months ago from my lhs.
I've got 4 more buggys with Very similar setups that I've been running quite a while but now I'm sketchy about even plugging them in.
The issue is that it's tough to see what caused the failure once it's happened.

What is all your setup in the car? Servo? battery? Battery Connectors? Motor? Gearing? Etc.

Why the CC BEC?
