Help please......SV27 ESC not working.

[JCAustralia]

Last week I took the boat to the lake again after a period of storage of about 3 months.

Here is my problem:

When I plugged the battery for the first time, the battery plastic cover/shrink wrap started to melt at bottom of the battery pack and I could see some smoke. I immediately uplugged the battery.

After about 10 minutes I decided to plug another set of batteries. I could not hear the ESC arming and nothing happen when I press the throttle. However The servo for the rudder works fine and turn in both directing when I steer.

I have the impression something might have gone wrong in the ESC, may be a short circuit.....

Does the issue sound familiar to anybody? Can the ESC be repaired? I am reasonably good at soldering......

I emailed Aquacraft support and they said that the ESC probably went bad....



Thanks

JC

Check your solder on connections from and to the ESC, mine where bad and caused simlar problems minus the smoke.
