| BEC fried my ESC?
Hey I just bought an rtr Wraith a few weeks ago and the steering servo did not really function well with any form of pressure on it. I also wanted to hook my new ko-propo radio to it and later add my lipos. When I hooked up the radio the problem got worse. I was then told to purchase and CC BEC and wire it to the ESC with the deans end on it so I could hook up my lipos. I plugged everything in and the moment I go to hook the batt up and don't even have it fully connected i see a spark between the connectors, the ESC makes a popping noise and then I smell smoke. This is where I stopped messing with it. I followed the wiring diagram from the CC package to a T. The hobbytown guy soldering the BEC to the ESC for me. I even unhooked the ESC's middle wire like the CC packaging said. What did I do wrong and what should I change. I have a brushless motor and novak gtb2 but I do not want to fry that ESC.

Sounds like the polarity got reversed somewhere in the circuit or connected to the wrong terminal.

Sounds like the hobbytown guy possibly soldered your ESC wires onto the deans opposite polarity of your battery..

That's what I figured i just talked to the guy from my other hobbyshop accross town. I think that's what happened, he even burnt his hand in the process. O well i'll try doing the novak later myself properly.
