Ok guys. I gotta be honest I may be out of this hobby now before it hardly begun.
After my post about a stripped pinion on my new EXB Kraton, I finally managed to get to take the car out tonight on it maiden voyage.
I took it down to my local football pitch (soccer) and simply ran the car up and down the pitch, no jumps just what I thought was a simple first run.
After 5 - 10 minutes I stopped the car just to check temps and it was a but toasty but nothing major, so after a break for 5 minutes I started running the car again.
After another 5 minutes or so the car stopped. 'Batteries can't be dead already' I thought. Then as I walked to the car plumes of smoke came out of it filled by a big flame!
I made a dash to save the car, ripped out the lipos and stood looking like an idiot while the onlookers I had just 2 minutes earlier, were now stood pointing and laughing .
Anyone know what Hobbywing are like on warranty claims?
First time running it, I've never been one to have good luck but this is ridiculous. Well and truly put me off
