WOW ! I thought those were indestructible!! I even machined the heatsink down on one so it would fit under a buggy body back in the day..
 
There is a reason I left Trx electronics. I found VXL esc unreliable. I had one that even shot black liquid out and puffed my lipo.. I sent so many vxl3s to Traxxas I knew a few workers by name and recognized their voice on the phone. I have 1 Bandit and 2 Stampedes that had vxls from the factory.
It's been around 10 years since I owned one.

Although I broke 3 motors, they seem to be better quality and held up to my abuse.

See the last one I owned was about 2007 Thing was a tank! I kept it in my box for a spare as at the time I was running Novak XBR's ,which were really good at letting the magic smoke out,LOL
