I have just bought a quicrun from rcmart, hopefully they are all genuine from there with them being a main vendor. The esc had a strange smell to it, almost like it had already smoked but apparently it’s something to do with the waterproofing process. The SC8 I got from AliExpress has the same smell too, whether or not that’s a sign it’s made in the same factory or not
i have never ever had a single problem with a Hobbywing esc, let’s hope they don’t start now
