Help on Hydra 240 LV warranty

[nova68]

I have two Hydra 240 LV, one the caps are leaking with one run on them and the ether one was repaired by Castle Creations first run went two feet when it blew up big time I am running a NEU 1515/1Y on 4S2P 5000 mah, no BEC, battery pack 5 cell 1600 mah with a Octura M 445/2. I called Castle Creations Repair and they put me to Technical Support which told they would not warranty one because they only fix them one time a the ether one is my fault, not correct batteries size. I can use a little help with setup. So they will not warranty them at all, NOT HAPPY about that. One boat is a Delta Force 33" with a Neu 1521/1.5D on two batteries 4 cell each 5000mah / 4S2P total 10000mah with the Hydra 240 LV with a Octura 447/3 prop that is the one that blew up Next boat Delta Force 29" Neu 1515/1Y Hydra 240 LV 4S2P 10000mah with a Octura M 445 prop these 240 LV is the one with bad caps.

are you saying you ran two 2500 mah packs in 2p for 5000mah or two 5000mah packs in 2p for 10000mah... because if it was two 2500mah packs with a low C rating that is a problem....

[Steven Vaccaro]

How did they determine that the setup was incorrect and what did they tell you was the correct setup?

[LiPo Power]

Hmm, sounds like you are one of the unlucky people with the blown hydra....
You can try to replace caps on the one that is poping up. Use larger capacity caps and replace the old ones. That should fix the problem.
When it comes to Castle warranty I am not sure of how to help you...
Maybe someone alse...
