Got my revolt

will do im off thursday thats when the maiden voyage will be and i will video it and post it up

Looks great! And good luck on your maiden voyage! Very exciting! If you get a minute, I'm most interested in how the Seaking ESC works out for you? Are you starting out with the timing at 11.5? What do you have the LVC set at? I guess I'm most interested in what type of warning you get when your batteries start to run down. With the stock ESC there's a feature called "Studder Bump" but basically if this happens you really have no time to bring it in and you get stranded. I have taken measures to overcome this by just running for a few minutes and bringing it in while it's still running fast, but it sure would be nice to maximize my running time. Anyway, sorry for being long winded, just really interested in how well your ESC works and what kind of warning you get.
Thanks,
Tom

Hardpacks?

If so the 4mm bullets leading to the pack are just not going to cut it.

When you get a chance, post some pics of the melt-down so we can see exactly where the heat was excessive.

also how long are your wires? keep them as short as you can and put some 5.5MM conectors on there.

the heat was right where the wire went into the battery

So .... right here at the tip of the arrow .... correct ??

[MAMBA2200]

yes but the batts are the kind with the 4mm connector prob just too much amp draw on those connectors
