Well took Spur 2 for a run out at Portsmouth which is nicely just down the road

Not a good day
Tested the bot on the bench at home, everything fine. Retested on the bench at Portsmouth and it ran fine.
Took it to the arena, put the link in - nothing, no response to the stick.
Went back to the bench and after much plugging and replugging it appears that one of the TZ85a's BEC's had died. Pulling the channel wire out of the plug and connecting direct onto the receiver and it worked again. One TZ85a with failing BEC

Went in for the second fight and drove into the arena. Handling was off though and after a very short run around ended up going round in circles. Eventually Beast flipped me out
Back on the bench appears that the TZ85a completely failed

This brings the recent total of dead TZ85a to 3 including those from the champs. One died because some swarf entered into it (of all things!)
Ordered another one - hopefully this wont go pop
