So, my son's AMP Crush almost caught fire today with a smoking ESC. I read online that these stock esc/receiver combos are really bad and many have gone up in smoke. So, instead of replacing it, I'm thinking of just going brushless. I'm contemplating this for the esc/motor combo: https://www.horizonhobby.com/produc...r-combo-4000kv-3.5mm-bullet-ec3/ONXS0501.html
But, that leaves an interesting problem. I also need a receiver since the stock is a receiver/esc combo. So, I was thinking of getting this: https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/2.4ghz-receiver-wp-4-channel-v4/ECX13009.html
The problem is, where do I mount the receiver? There doesn't seem to be a spot for it, yet the mount where the stock one is located has holes for screws for ESCs. Has anyone done this upgrade to an AMP Crush? What are your recommendations?
(By the way, he also tore up his transmission a few weeks back, and I replaced it with an all metal gear set.)
Thanks!
