My 1/8 xcelorin esc died on me today, or at least that's what I suspect.
All through the day and with decreasing time of proper operation, my rx would loose all power. Checked the battery leads, all was fine, ESC showed only the blue LED lit. Rx had no LED lit, no light in the transponder either. Once power was discnonected and then reconnected everything would work just fine, that is until I drove the car for ten seconds. Then same sympton as beforementioned.
First thought it was the rx, but a quick install of a backup discanted that idea.
Only thing left is the BEC must have failed.
Btw, one of the capacitors broke of as well. All in all a real crappy day for me.
Is this even worth sending it in for repair, I asume the BEC failure is covered? Not so sure about the capacitor.
