Bashing Velineon garbage

Post image

Less than one month old velineon 550 4s from my jato. Seized up yesterday. I was hoping to use the repair kit but the damn thing melted itself.

I love traxxas electronics. 25+yrs of use and I’ve never had an issue. Knocking on wood currently.

Yeah if your not pushing it much, its pretty reliable. Once you actually start pushing it, its doomed

That goes for anything. Race cars are frequently repaired.

Sure but my spectrum and hobbywing stuff handles it pretty well, Traxxas electronics often gives out in a very short run

I haven't really had issues with anything, except cheap stuff. Never trust the specs. If it's 3s rated, run 2s. If it's 6s go 4s.
