| Need esc help
So Ill get right to the point. I have a hh Brxl and I have deans plugs on both the motor leads and the battery side of the Brxl. I accidentally plugged my battery into the wrong side of the Brxl. I instantly saw some smoke and unplugged it right away. Now when I plug it in my bec just blinks and makes a ticking noise and nothing else works. So I'm assuming I burned up the Brxl? Can it be fixed? |

Can it be fixed? Yes. Is it cheap? Nope...."user error" Maybe John will be nice, but you did the error (now on the Internet) and we shall see what Holmes Hobbies decides. Most vendors here are reasonable, but they have to make a living as well. |

Plug it into a battery and take a voltage reading on the other side with a multimeter, or hook it up to something that needs power, like a servo.

Could just remove the bec if that is a option.
