No not at all, if your not hard on the Traxxas XO-1 this hobby car will give you years of fun. Don't drive it in puddles of water or gravel or wet services dry pavement only, allow the fan to cool the electronics.

No issues at all with the car. The batteries did swell up on me when I left them in the garage for a few days in the heat. I got new batteries and have had no issues since. Many crashes later (it is so fast) it has held up amazingly. I'm am tough on cars. My Erevo I have had to change out parts after some insane crashes but my XO-1 is awesome.

I've had mine for a little over a year now with no problems. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Q3 soon. Hope this helps.

I have not. It's been running five days a week no issues. This has been ever since I got it. Well worth it.

I have 2 and they've had no problems for two years. The one in the garage is on almost every weekend for up to 10 hrs at a time. Never a hitcand never hot, even in the desert. Aawesome little amps

My problems with this model started about a month before it was 2 years old. The HDMI inputs started acting weird. For some unknown reason, 2 of them have stopped working, and today, static started coming out of the speakers. very frustrating...

I believe this was the most up to date unit, they have been around a while and I wasnt aware that there was a newer version for maybe quite some years? Don't know for sure though, I suspect the price drop (as well as the price drop on the G-system) that has occurred fairly recently is a sign that they may be poised to release some new models? but have searched and found nothing on this subject. This was a nice unit though!

Personally, I don't have any problems, But, I think if I was going to use it as you stated, I would upgrade to the next wattage/power/model with the larger bowl and drop bowl. But as I said, I do NOT have any problems...(knock on wood)...but that's me. I don't guarantee.

Yes, I did. Twice!!! I bought a unit, it overheated extremely quickly during light to moderate use. I contacted Sony, they sent a replacement. Same problem only worse. Sony techs asked me to test the unit and record my results, which I did (including video documentation.) Suffice it to say, unless Sony has done a major retooling of this model, it isn't a flash you can trust for more than the lightest of use.

The new model can get as hot as the old one (which I also have)...I just missing fine tuning the temp manually rather than using the LED set temps.

I take the discontinuing of this model as a BIG warning sign. Why would they ever want to discontinue something that was selling and had positive reviews?? Let's hope none of the current ones have any issues with spontaneous combustion or the like! Of course I'm just kidding, but I still don't understand why they would discontinue it while it's successor is still so many months out.

I own the 1 TB model and also noticed the heat buildup. I keep my unit off unless I'm backing up data. Had it a year and so far, so good.

I once had a G-Tech drive blow up...complete with smoke! They took the drive back and sent me a refurbished one.If you haven't called them, you should. I sent back the 4T I bought; I couldn't get it to turn on.

I had mine for over a year now and we use it all the time....no problems. I would troubleshoot the power connections before removing it.

I'm not sure about the new model stuff. I know they came out with a lower wattage chip but nobody wants less power :) I think you are safe with this one. I've built 6 computers with it. Solid.

I've had no issue with mine. It has been working great for three months now.

Yeah, I would definitely return it. Have had mine for almost a year running 24/7 on high setting and no problems so far.

I use the model pictured and have no issues. Owned it for a few months,...used daily at least 4 hours to10 hours per session. Any issues it may have had out the box I never dealt with. I upgrade the firmware upon receipt of the product.
