I know there are some recent topics on the EZrun, but thought I'd share a recent experience with others who are considering purchasing the brushless system.
Ordered 3 x eZrun systems for each of my cars. Went for the 10T 35A versions and ordered them from Hobbytoys88 from ebay.
First off, very impressed with the delivery, they arrived in 6 days from Hong Kong.
Tried out the first one in my TT-01. It went for about 5 seconds, then stopped, luckily had the shell off as smoke started bellowing out of the ESC, so thought that didn't look good and switched it off straight away. I touched the battery (a 3700mAh GP NiMH pack) and I couldn't even keep my finger on it for a second it was absolutely red hot.
Unfortunately the eZrun system is completely dead. Does anyone have any ideas what could have gone wrong? Faulty ESC, problem with the battery?
Am pleased to report, that the other 2 eZruns are perfect and am very pleased with them. Athough I haven't used that 3700 pack with them!!
I have emailed Hobbytoys, asking for a replacement, I'll post up my customer aftersales service experience if I get a response.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers.
