it got kratonized!

That looks like the magic smoke that makes the electronics work lol. That sucks man.

That sucks bro, hope Arrma replaces everything that was damaged if possible.

i think maybe the high front dirt guards block the airflow too much cause i thought i got the first lipo cutoff and switched to new batteries and this happens, checked battery home and all cells at 3,76v, guess it was thermal protection and i just did it all wrong
anyways emailed them pics and so...guess ill just wait the loong wait for shipping...

@Trickelitrick May just be time for a HW max6 or an orion vortex r8 pro x ESC?

@Dark_RC_Corpses im gonna see how it runs without front dirt guard first.

The fan on my ESC kept cutting out I think it's the little plug getting a bit lose. Might have been that ??

@Camo actually it was recently replaced by customer service so i think it was brand new. i think too little airflow and too big pinion
