check your manual. it should only be until it cools down. if you said it was not hot tho, then that wouldn't apply.

well, i do rember hearing one time that they said they would not avoid the warrenty unless you did a bad solder job. since it didn't happen after you soldered, probbibly not. next time make an adapter.

unless you abused it, and you would know if you did. thats probbibly just a factory flaw. they should get you back and running in no time

i thought it was only the esc but i may be wrong. there is a traxxas lifetime electronics warrenty, yes. but he doesn't really know if he has a motor problem. he won't be able to find out until his esc is working.
