How on Earth did I do this? I'm running a super stock TLT-1 with all the stock stuff minus a locked rear. My esc was a Ko Propo 1100FR and a P2k2 Pro motor. That thing is only 27 turns and it still killed my esc. What gives??? I wish I was running a Tekin. :(

Overly tight gear mesh (or any other kind of binding in the drivetrain) can kill any esc.

It wasn't that, I've been racing TA04's for a while so I know the gear mess on those all too well and it's the same as a TLT. Thanks for the comment though, a lot of other sites will let my question just slip thru the cracks.

Can you explain the situation with a little more detail, like what were you doing when it died. How many cells were you using? How long had you been running?

I was running a 6 cell pack. I had ran it the day before outside and it was fine, no real dirt or water at all. Then I cleaned it and brought it into the house to chase my dog. I did a couple of circles on the carpet and went down the hall way. I then turned around and it just stopped. I sure hope I can get a cheap Tekin, I'm falling in love with their products.

sorry,i've heard this expression before and it meant it did.just the person didn't think that little bit didn't mean anything

Just the dew on the grass in the morning. The esc didn't get wet. That's how little and slow I ran it outside just in case.
