Wraith, the El Cheapo spinner

I would just use an ESC! Conker 1 and Conker 2 both got their solid state relays jammed on at GSL 2012 and 2013. Despite both being capable of 30V & 100A and 50V & 80A respectively both failed repeatedly.

Did you have a flyback diode fitted across the SSR outputs? If not, it's very easy for a large voltage spike to cause them to jam on, I had a similar issue with MBX2, my Melty Brain FW.

Yeah, I had the ones they supplied with the relays fitted. After it happened the second time I made sure I was doing it right, but it still kept happening. And at £30 a relay and going through 4 of them... might as well have got a beefy 1 way esc.
