    Velocity MiniCat - burned stock ESC

    Wierd.

    Not sure why. I ran one full run with 1 3S 2200 mah Flightmax and checked temps. Motor 119 (on a 106 day!), SC at 97. All good. Swapped batteries and the boat seemed sluggish and slow to take off, but ran well on top end. About a minute into the run boat stopped and fried the stock ESC.

    Any ideas? I've read there are problems with the stock ESC in these.

    It's an 18" boat.

    I did just put on a x432 Octura prop, but that can't be it since it ran fine on the first pack.

    Maybe water got in it bc this thing does take on water.
