I speak to a gentleman on the phone he tells me that I tell him type of vehicle I have as soon as I tell him that I have my Mamba Monster he says to me oh well they're not waterproof but yet the manual states that the whole truck is waterproof it's got waterproof servos in it it's got a waterproof motor in it everything is waterproof but then he says everything but the ESC and he says that it should be written all over everything on the ESC should say it's waterproof she told me that it's stated all over the ESC but there's nothing on it and there's nothing in the paperwork that he gave me or that came with the E-Revo that says that it's not waterproof it says that the whole truck is waterproof so and to be honest the truck is spotlessly it's spotless and it's dry so how is it a water problem this is just another way for traxxas to try and get out of paying for what they should be warranted they choose not to do it by choice not because it would cost them money to send me a new ESC and as soon as he found out that I was on the phone with you guys his demeanor changed drastically and that you guys had recorded the phone call and you'll see that if you listen to the phone call you will hear him and as he saying all if you'll stop yelling I just paid over $1,000 for this car and literally it didn't last me one run before the ESC caught fire you know the car sat for 3 Days in the house then he goes into telling me it's an older unit but yet I bought it from a store you know it doesn't make sense that it's on a store shelf but it's an older unit got to got to got to as long as he's saying and you can hear him saying the conversation that it's written all over the year see that it's not waterproof well that doesn't make any sense either because there's not one sticker on the car or in the manual anywhere that says that the ESC is not waterproof why would they waterproof the radio the motor that you accuse me the servos everything that's electronic is waterproof except for the year see the most expensive part of the car that doesn't make any sense to me and it sounds to me like they're just trying to get away from having to replace it which doesn't surprise me they do it all the time it doesn't make sense that you know the car shop for 3 Days in the house and he one minute saying it's a water problem it wasn't waterproof and yet then he says he doesn't know that that was the problem so there may have been a problem with the ESC but he doesn't care he wants me to pay $110 to replace it I've only had the car all week and a half but yet that I don't get the 30 day warranty thing you know I don't understand and I certainly don't understand when you purchase something that you have to pay $110 to get it exchanged nevermind replaced if I want to buy a buy one outright it's $169 why should I have to pay anything these bsc's have a quality control problem and that's obvious because they changed it apparently from black to Blue and this is bought off-the-shelf this year 2017 so they must have found the problem just recently and replaced it because why am I still getting a Revo with a black mamba monster please help me
