|  Battery ?
Just bought a battery used. Its 2000 1cell lipo. I put it in my wraith and blew out receiver. At least it blew out the steering part of the receiver . Then I tried the battery and one of my other ones and it actually was starting to sizzle so I have discarded the battery. Being that it was a one cell with that have something to do with it I'm pretty new at this any info would help thanks Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 |

Your doing something wrong. One cell is 3.7 volts, your average NIMH pack is 7.2. So I'm sure you wrong about the cells. It sounds like your may have a short somewhere or perhaps you soldered the connectors on wrong. Possibly you charged it wrong, do you have a lipo charger? Did you set the charger correctly? Does your esc have lipo shut off or does it need to be programmed for the correct # of cells. Most likely it's something your doing but the first thing you need to do is figure out the correct # of cells.

Did you connect the battery direct to the RX? Likely not, thus, whatever battery you connected would power the ESC which would then power the RX with a safe voltage pretty much REGARDLESS of the battery voltage. Now, if you said the ESC died, then I would say you may have reversed the polarity of the pack vs. the ESC. Yes, pictures would help. |

Given that receivers & servos run on 5v+ and ESCs use even more, I'd guess something else is going on. Your battery, if it is indeed 1 cell, won't put out any more than 4.7v. More details and/or pics would be very helpful.
