Bought a max 8 2200kv combo, because the old BLX 185 did not put out enough power. After I made the swap the truck had double the power of the 185 and I was really impressed, but after 12-15 min the truck stopped moving the motor was about 150 degrees F and the esc cooling fins were 110 degrees F. The truck would not do anything no matter what did. I changed receivers ,batteries re-programed nothing made a difference. I figured out that the esc was stuck in thermal protection mode blinking green ( also if you held the gas when you powered the truck on the wheels would spin for a second then go into limp mode), which it could not have been, so I called customer support which I can say kinda sucked and really did not have anything to tell me other than to send it in. After this I was pretty mad about what happend so I sent the whole system back to the seller and they refunded my money, now im waiting for my Castle mamba monster x 2200kv combo to come in stock hopefully next week. Overall I thought the system looked very nice and would recommend but the customer service over the phone seemed very week and if i was more of noob could have caused the someone to send thing unnecessarily. This was kind of a rant but thought i would share my experience, and maybe change some peoples minds.
