I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the Mtronic Genesis Pro just quitting on them for no reason. Today I was driving my 1/10 buggy around, which I finally got all the glitching bugs out, and out of nowhere the buggy slows to a stop, I walk over to it and the motor was making slight noises. I unplugged the battery and went to the garage. I then realize that I smell a slight smell of burnt electronics. I guess the esc just decided to take a **** on me eventhough I really have only gotten about 3 months use out of it over the past year or so Iv had it because I didnt take it up to school with me.
This is pretty wierd considering I was running the same setup I have the whole time, 6cells, and the motor and esc always are barely even warm when I am done running. Even this time, the speed control was barely even warm.
Sadly to say this may be my last straw with the hobby being I have had enough of trying to get this thing to run correctly. I simply cannot afford to have to shell out $150 everytime the electronics choose to fail on me despite me having what should be a good running setup.
