I never heard anything about a firm ware update but after a few emails and calls to Novak tech support I would have to send it in and get a replacement. I tried different motors, wires, and sensor cables nothing worked. The coolest failure was my 2wd SC I went over a big double jump the Havoc ESC went up in flames mid jump truck looked like it something out of nitro circus. I never had much luck with that ESC many warranty claims. Switched brands and no problems ever again. So good luck
That sucks, but I would loved to see that. I had a lipo do that during a race once in a TC. Was cool to see but made a mess.
