Beware of Big Shark

That's pretty much what I'd expect seeing with a big LiPo (although maybe not as quick as 5000 rounds: the completely burnt-through contact is impressive)

Install a MOSFET in the gun.

Also move this to the Doctor's Corner if you want to keep discussing the repairs: don't threadjack your own review thread with this.

Dude, thats not a problem with the seller, its the fact that you are using a Lipo without electrical upgrades, get a Mosfet unit...

The threads in a bit of a shambles, (the actual review, food, repairs) I'm pretty much done with it then.

Didn't doubt your diagnosis, had to see it for myself.

I knew it was a contact issue, Dark told me that weeks ago, didn't blame the seller, I'm aware what lipo does to guns, you'd figure a VFC might be a bit tougher.
