Has anyone else seen these things go up in smoke with very little use? What's the deal?

My friend has the windings on his come off and his car came to an abbrupt stop. They might burn up because of wrong gearing since they have such high RPM's and people are not gearing them to compinsate?

My local hobby shop now has 14 of them with fried windings in a box. They replaced them for the customers no charge, but are still waiting for Trinity to acknowledge a problem and take care of it.

YES I HAVE! Mine burned up at the end of my first battery pack...smoke and all. I'm in the process of getting a new one from my track's distributor. I hope they're not ALL like that!

They're definitely not all like that. I've had mine for over a month, & it's worked perfectly from the git-go(it hardly even gets warm, as a matter of fact). I'm just trying to be patient 'till more of them are made by the third-party builders, like Fantom & Lightspeed..... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif
