Anyone had a ESC catch on fire? My novak did on sat for no apparent reason. Ran maybe 2 min, truck flipped and i walked over and grabbed it, smelled hot electronics so i turned it off. Got to my bench and pulled the body off, everything looked normal. Turned it back on, took 2 seconds and poof blew up literally in my face. 6-8" flame shot out of the esc where the wires are. The cap melted off and the heat sink got so hot it melted down through the plastic it mounts on. Not very impressed for 239+ tax. Put my traxxas vxl setup back in and ill be sticking with that.
Im sure novak will take care of it, but still. That could of burned up the truck in a heart beat. Luckily the body was off, and my lipo was fine.
