Every esc has a chance to blow up, explode, sizzle, fry, whatever....i just read in this forum that someone said they would never buy novak again..well what if every other brand of esc blew up or fried on you...are u going to quit racing?
(You could go 2 nitro)
If stuff fries then u send it in, not just get mad at it and say "O im never gonna buy (insert ESC brand here) again." Sometimes they are just defects, there isnt much you can do about it. I have seen Duratrax, GM, Novak, and M troniks all fry. That isnt going to stop me from buying one of those again, becasue they are all high end companies, and it shouldnt stop anyone else from buying one of those, becasue it might be perfect and not blow up like the one before it.
