I'm new to this sport. I bought a 1/10 scale, 1960's hydro hull and decked it out with all the electronics. Now I'm just trying to figure it all out. I'm using a 4s Lipo pack and had the boat ripping along pretty good today... once. The throttle quit working after the first run. After reading the manual for my castle hydra 120 speed controller, I learned that I was supposed to disable the BEC if using anything higher than a 3s pack and connect a separate battery pack for the receiver and servo. Since I didn't read the fine print, I connected the separate battery pack without disabling the BEC. (What the heck does "BEC" stand for anyway?) Please tell me I only fried my receiver and not my speed contoller...?
Thanks in advance for the help...
