seaking/turnigy 180 smoked on 2nd run...

This is what I was thinking. You burnt out the BEc maybe??

Maybe he used the external pack with the BEC? I know when you swap one part out like an esc for 2 boats "stuff" can happen. You are better off with 2 esc's instead of swapping them out of your boats. Do you do throttle re-calibrations every time you swap the esc into another boat?

Do you use external pack to power the reciever or the bec from the esc?

I'm curius to know how this happen and after it works lke nothink happened.

Ive had hobbyking stuff smoke like it was all over and keep going for ages, never any of the boat gear, that either explodes or works, in my experience.
The ESC that did it to me was one of the early turbo trackstar ones, the 120A. Same thing happened to 2 other mates also, they didnt get wet and had full function afterwards. (one of them is still being raced on some 9 months later)
Im calling black magic, or extra smoke fitted from factory.

Im not using the esc for 2 boats. Just the spartan. I was running no external bec and yes it was on 6s

[Wetter]

will it program noticeably to a different setting?, i ask to see if the ESC is still capable?
that to me would be somethn', it could not be do to if it where a major problem, but i only ask.
Where is Doc or Chopper ?
Hell i want to know, if it happens to me.

Mine blew up the other day, it is being replaced free of charge! I think I charmed the Seaking repair team! Lol anyways mine smoked but it got wet 2 days before, I did let it sit in the sun for two days but guess it didn't help!
