I'm not complaining about the Voltages, actually kinda fun to drive, but I recently had the combo ESC/Receiver module die in my 2 Voltages, just posting to share. Both trucks had very little time on them, and they were not driven hard at all. I bought them for my young grandsons, so we turn the speed down quite a bit, in fact the youngest (3) hasn't really figured out steering yet so we set the Steering Trim hard left or right and he just drives in circles.... From what I can tell, the problems for both came from driving through a few puddles. One truck made a few passes through about 2 inches of water , while the other was essentially driving circles in it. Big THANKS goes out to Velodromed here, I simply followed his recommended parts list to replace the ESC and servo.

I had a few choices for new RX/TX, decided to stay cheap and simply bought the Spectrum SLT3 from Jennys $23

The problems came when trying to mount everything, so I designed a 3D printed case for it all and wanted to share it here.
O-ring seal around the edge.....
So you can see the ESC sits on the back, tie-wrap to keep it in. The power switch sits on top, I wanted to orient it such that UP was ON and DOWN was OFF, I hated the right/left action of the original ESC, I could never tell if it was on or off.... This HobbyWing is better about beeping when turned on so I'm happy with this orientation. And as you can see I mis-calculated the bump-out holder for the antenna, its been fixed in version 2.
Those extra 2 connectors coming out the front are for some LEDs I found when searching for the servo on Amazon......

Glued the strips in with ShoeGoo..
Had both trucks out and running for the boys on the 4th of July..... they had a blast running them in the dark.
I need to make a couple of changes to the STL's but when I get the box and lid up on Thingyverse I'll provide the link.
