I also have use the same packs with my mamba max with 5700kv about 10 runs. So how does CC explain that? I will give them a call soon and hope to get it fix/replace. I think cc must stand by their products. It a good business practice to replace esc instead of losing customers.
What motor? what gearing? thats alot of power, to high kv motor and I could see problems and in a fairly heavy truck, 6s is alot power even with the right motor. just wondering.
