Now let me tell you what you didn't win! LOL
The big square thingie in the top right with the legs. Well that is a linear regulator. Those things you hear about that reduce the pack voltage to 5v? Well that's the heart of it.
The two burnt thingies, I believe to be Diodes. I'm not 100% sure on that though. (Griffin, can you help me out here?)
One thing that was very puzzling about this is the fact that we have continuity between the red receiver (power) wire and the Black Negative.
I spotted a melted spot in the receiver wire. Very flat and I was thinking this was the source of the whole problem. I removed the wire. Problem is still there.
I removed the two burnt thingies and the continuity is gone. Even though continuity is now gone, I still don't have infinity.
I'm still getting .288 kohms between the Linear regulator and the red wire.
I believe the regulator chip is fried too, even though it doesn't show as much damage externally.
Can I remove the regulator altogether and run this ESC with the Opto Mod?
