Repair Hobbywing Seaking T180???
I need to repair or replace the ESC in my recently completed 29" Sprint Cat. Seems they don't like HV operation. I have 2 sets of Lipos for the boat. 1 set 5200mah 3s 45C to run in series. Another set 2600mah 6s 45C to run in parallel. Well, the first time to the lake but second test run I put the two 6s packs in and plugged them in (You guessed it) in series. One huge snap and spark and my new T180 with custom cap bank built from DrWayne's instructions.... now most likely scrap. I haven't got the set up sorted out yet let alone painted or put any cosmetic touches on the boat. First run it was a dog. (SC 6S 4082 1800kv T180 M445) About half as fast as my Apparition (4S 3740 2000kv mystery 200A Prather 215) and it's running on 4S.
Does anyone have experience repairing these? Is there a component that would act as a fuse that would blow and prevent damage to the rest of the ESC?
