    Sea King 180M dead? or just the Cappack?

    I have a fairly new/low runs (since Dec 2020) Sea King 180M running on 2 3S batts through a Ripper 2340 2000KV motor. Yesterday the motor just quit. The cap pack smelled burnt and was very hot.
    Whats the opinion on replacing the cappack alone, or should I just replace the ESC?

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Hi Jim first check the drive line if the prop shaft runs free then check the motor maybe it smells funny (did use a good size prop aka not to big)are the batts in good condition ,but i think it's best replace the esc if every thing checks out
