Traxxas X-Maxx 8s ESC Fire Take TWO 158MPH Mugen MGT7 Speed Run PB

** Latest 1-30-17 X-Maxx 84+mph FULL SPEED CRASH /watch/4ukU4rRewnheU **First Fire Link**: /watch/s101=t&M4SlCCIF6bQF1 World's Fastest X-Maxx quest for 100mph gets a new replacement ESC (electronic speed controller) from manufacturer from China this time a New 400AMP High Tech/High Amp ESC that does exactly the same as the previous 300amp ESC, IT GOES UP IN FLAMES FOR THE 2nd TIME!! All electronic accessories were replaced with new ones receiver, cap pack, etc. This was to eliminate any problems the X-Maxx truck had with the previous setup ESC fire. I am having second thoughts about this ESC and manufacturer. I have another ESC from them in my possesion and debating if I should give it another shot. They say 3rd time is a charm or in my case 3rd time could be another blazing inferno! Sheez! Please note I never revealed the name of the ESC manufacturer in my videos due to continued testing to see if this ESC will stand up to the speed run goals/abuse that I put it through. I rather be the only sole guinea pig rather then have many people experience the same fate I am having by pre revealing the ESC maker with out the proper testing. Plus experiencing a ESC/LIPO fire aint no joke and down right dangerous if you dont know what you are doing. Luckily I have experience a few of these and no what to do when it happens. My experience, loss or improvement wil be your gain. I think once my testing is finally complete regardless of outcome, I will eventually reveal the ESC manufacturer. Stay Tuned! Mugen MGT7 1/8 scale previous personal best was at the Poseidon Speed Run even September 2016 @ 142mph. This test and tune run was powered by NEW Roaring Top Lipos which made a big difference in comparison to the Turnigy Batteries we use. The weather was 50 degrees and when the batteries warmed up I was able to hit148mph first run and 158mph on the second run. The 148mph was done with a short distance and the 158mph run we drove the car to the starting line with more distance further back. Thanks to Bay Area Fast RC for suggesting this. Also, using some new custom foams done by Rick Seffrood from Gone Bananas Racing Skinz.
