Huge Futaba MC401CR ESC problem

I used to love this thing, until the fuse I had in my DF-03MS blew. Big deal I thought at the time, I can just by another one right? WRONG!!! After contacting Futaba support here in the US, I simply got a “sorry those are not available”, when pushed further I got a postal mail address for Futaba in Japan and a “ask them”. Buyer beware!

    Looks like an automotive fuse. Try searching for "B+ Trailering J-Case fuse"

    http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Data_Sheets/895.pdf this is the exact one. I measured my cartridge. I'll tell futaba's support team to send people there instead of asking them to write futaba in japan! :)

    You're welcome! Glad it worked out for you! Good thing I was researching on the 401CR and stumbled on this :)
