Mamba XL2 up in smoke

[outlaw]

Hmmm looks like some of the FET's went to heaven...

Did your XL2 had the protective foam installed ?



See here Castle Service Advisory

Look for a red paint dot on the bottom of the plastic housing between the red and black power wires.

If there is a red dot, your control board is secured properly and no further action is required.

If there is no red dot, proceed to next step.

Could be the controler board... just a guess

There was no such foam on my ESC.

As for this red dot, where exactly should it be?
And if it is/isn't there, what does it mean?


edit: I see the advisory and I can confirm there is no dot on the casing.
