I had one of these moments about 5 or 6 years ago... heres the thread lol

And a week before that I burnt up a Scorpion 4035/800 (back when they were big $$) and a HV Castle ESC along with 10s2p of new polyquest packs in a 2 minute stint in a big aeromarine cat (scorpion motor wires shorted out with heat).... and just a week after the scuba team I burnt up a 2280 Lehner along with a Castle Hydra hv240 in a 40" delta force copy mono.... so I've certainly been in the burning things down, and losing them rut lol..
Heck just yesterday I got my Aeromarine Avenger pro 44" cat all ready to go (My planned race boat)... brand new, BIG 58mm TP 680kv motor, and a FLier 300 amp esc.... started off on 8s with a prather 240... was fine and ice cold... went to 12s next run and propped down to a tiny x450 2 blade.... burnt up in in 20 seconds, hull was bone dry... no smoke... just dead.... there goes $250 in a hurry lol
Anyway, lets face it.... this hobby is expensive, but it keeps me from going out to the bar and spending $200/night and waking up in the morning thinking... what happened to all the cash in my wallet.... lol.... at least here I know exactly where it went! Good thing this hobby makes me smile more then cry!
