I just bought a new traxxas maxx and it hasn't arrived yet and am impatiently waiting for it to do so. I have read horror stories of the traxxas 4s escs failing after the 1st few runs. I am wondering if those stories are true and what esc is the recommended upgrade for the stock esc if it does crap out. I have had great luck with the traxxas electronics in the 3 rtrs I currently own though, and I hope to continue that streak of reliability with the new maxx!
