I feel really stupi and upset!!

[mikeochs]

Well I really did a nice one today. I plugged my battery directly into my esc on accident just to throttle set and pfffff. Reason is my bullets are setup for a series plug. Dammit. I unplgged it quick but im sure its done. Do you think that just the caps blew or do you guys think its done! Well putting a bigger motor in anyway so lesson learned man this sucks. Now im down another week again.

I'm confused, aren't you supposed to plug battery direct into your esc? Where else would you plug it in? What am I missing here?

2S, 4S, 6S, 8S ?
What boat was it ?

Thats what im thinkin, and if its set up for series you would have had less voltage hooked up to it.

So what are you smoking.

[lenny]

Did you hook the packs + to + and - to - ?

[mikeochs]

what i did is when i soldered on the bullets on the esc i realized i had the positives as females on the batteries and the series plug so just made the bullets on the esc work instead of resoldering them all. Its fine unless you pull a bone head like me....im going to definatel fix this so it cant happen again

[mikeochs]

oh well i guess ruined a nice day of boating

Maybe he means he reversed the polarity and smoked the speedo. You NEVER want to have two males or two females on the speed controller. That being said, I got the bullets mixed up once and tried to plug a 5000 mah 4s battery into itself. Gets your attention. So, as we all know, think while you're hooking up.

[mikeochs]

anyone have a spare esc they will let go cheap that will work for a leo 2000kv on 4s

[lenny]

What boat is it for ?

This esc should work or go new with a 120a.
