Sidewinder SCT Hello all, Had my new Sidewinder SCT with 3800kv motor for about 3 days and loved it. However, on my last outing, I splashed through some water and it chattered and cogged. After a bit, it just went dead. I found I had fried my RX by what I suspect was a voltage spike or short off of my external CC BEC. NOW, I replaced to older RX, which worked on the bench just fine. Everything was GOOD. I took it apart and applied silicone sealant to avoid any further concerns... Now the ESC doesn't work. All it does is flash red and green constantly with no beeps when I turn it on. Does not respond to throttle inputs. Does not beep. Does not do anything but flash red/green. I changed nothing about TX/RX between working and dead. Motor IS connected, and tried another BL motor to double-check. I took everything apart and peeled as much sealant as possible and could find no damage to the naked eye. Opinions? Burned up? Or is there anything I can do? Thanks... EDIT: I attempted to do a CastleLink to verify if it were dead or not. I flipped the switch to "ON" and it burned up my CaslteLink. Now when I connect my CastleLink to the USB it gets incredibly hot. So that's fried, at least. |
