Quark fried, blown capacitor...

[zeropointbug]

Hi guys, I was driving my truck on hard pack gravel, and I thought the pack had just dumped, because the whole truck lost almost all power.

So I went to recharge and the voltage was high enough still that it would have been 1/2 pack left. So I charged it up, and went to run it, it did a proper start up chime, pulled the trottle, it cogged alot, then moved forward like super slow with almost no torque. CRAP. So I went and checked it out, there is a brown dried liquid on each end of the case that oozed out. I opened it up, and there I see the capacitor on the end, the shrink wrap on it looks like it got very hot, and it ripped and pulled away, and the capacitor vent was blown open (which is probably where the liquid came from, electrolyte).

Does anyone know if S&T will take this back and replace it? I'm going to phone them tomorrow.
