Cheap "high voltage" esc Quest

[rschoi_75]

Bad news fellas. I think I smoked mine today.

I went to the park again today and got in about 5 minutes before it died on me. I most definitely thermalled the esc, because when I checked it, the heat shrink surrounding the esc was melted out of shape. I also lost power to my servo, which leads me to think the ubec is toast, but I need to check that one later tonight. I was running a 5s lipo and 16/48 on the gearing. It performed perfectly two days ago, and for almost 20 mins solid with no problems. So I don't know what went wrong today????

As far as the esc goes, I don't know what blew. Maybe a cap, but not sure since I don't know electronics. I'll take some pics of the damage later tonight or tomorrow, but I guess the MM is going back in the buggy now.

snellemin, did you get yours figured out?
