Has anyone had any fires with their kinetic esc?
A young guy from our club was racing today at the racing lines international meeting in auckland, he had only done 3 laps when his kinetic caught fire.. it was so hot the wires melted off the esc.... this was basically his 1st race meeting with this speedy.
His gearing was 5.2:1 which is very slow for the track for 13.5t brushless, and there was no contact with any other car ...
The battery was a IP 5600 50c 2s lipo.... there was about 6 cars on track at the time.
just a note to all .be very careful with this esc?
