Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has had a failure of the small square circuit board that plugs into the main board. I replaced all the caps with new rubycon zlh 35v 1000's and 680's and made sure to use thermal silicone mat between the 2 green metal pieces that contact the sides of the board. After plug in and 1 rev of the motor the smoke started from the esc. Any idea why all of a sudden something failed in the small square circuit board? Is this a common issue? I am using a 1 ohm 1 watt resistor as recommended by castle to use when using extra cap packs on battery plug in.
This was the 2nd hydra ice 240 i have put new caps on exactly the same as this one and it is working fine.
Looks like i will replace this with a hydra x8s, since we race with 1p regulations and pull between 160-180 amps for our 5 lap races will a extra cap pack be needed? Anything i should look out for when using a hydra x8s, anything you have to keep an eye on?
Thanks
