Hello all
I thing that I had the "luck" to buy the worst esc from its own lot.
Yesterday I was driving my boat at the local pond and after few minutes suddenly stopped in the middle of the water of course.
After fishing it back and going home, on close inspection i saw that the receiver was actually melt.
The receiver was waterproofed inside a balloon.Thinking that the receiver (flysky) was somehow faulty i have tested the esc bec with another receiver.:frusty:
Dumb me, because the second receiver died too.Only after that I have been smart enough to check the bec voltages.:doh:
Almost 20 V, the full voltage from the batteries (5S).I have post some pics too.
Now, I have contacted the seller (the esc has only 2,5 months and less then 10 runs).
I was advise to send back the esc to the uk seller and the seller will send it back to the producer for checking (in China i guess).
Of course that the seller is taking no responsibility on collateral damages (2 receivers).
Also I am worried about the well known customer services from China , not to mention how much time will take all the procedure.
Regards
