            If the mods at the traxxas forum find out about how we are behaving here they just might have to send the repoman to take our boats back.

            Well here is a real question
            The brass bushing on my strut is a bit worn out now and y wanted to know if any one has had bearings or something like that done to the strut or even changed the bushing mabye.

              Ya well bad news, i went to run today and YUP, it sputtered at slow speeds and didnt feel right, so i brought it back in removed my lipos and put the NIMHs in and drove around for 1.5 minutes. No sputtering on NIMH packs but when i hit throttle twice it did nothing, I brought the boat back after the 1.5 minute run and the packs were 180 degress and melting the caseing. I SEE A PROBLEM, maybe the ESC is bad, I called traxxas and sending it in. I dont want another ESC blowing up in my face, something was wrong, let them test it. NOW, they are all out of ESC's with no ETA. NOW WHAT????? now it might be time to find a motor and a water jacket thats in stock....SO, 50 MPH is a ONE TIME DEAL!!!!!
