Re: Spark Motor Controller vs. Victor SP

Thank you for the feedback. We do here this argument often however to date we have had no reports of this actually happening. Which leads me to believe that this is not a problem at all.

But in the interests of teams I ask are there any teams that have had this issue?

If there are any teams that have Talon SRX's or Victor SP's that need the leads replaced send them back to us. We will gladly replace the leads. But again I just do not have any evidence that this is a REAL problem.[/quote]

Also,

Neither the Talon SRX of Victor SP are water tight so please do not expect survival after immersion in water.
