RE: Futaba 608FS reciever locout/failure due to heat
but as you said from the Joe Nall problem, you knew a problem existed and so far everyone has posted that the 8 and the 14 are suspect.
with that knowledge, and the response from Bill you still went ahead and made the purchase?
what radios are you using?
the temp on the batteries sounds bout right, but the 143* temp of the Rx smells a little fishy.
i'm not saying that it didn't happen, but pictures of the damage say a lot.
if this is all true then i agree that Futaba isn't out of the woods, but it does look like they are riding the whole heat issue thing out.
