So last night I had the Senton 3s BLX 4x4 out for some runs at a park. On way back I decided to run my third battery down to storge level so hooked it up. Because we had snow recently followed by a thaw, the there was a nice long "lake" in middle of the parking lot. Being me, I was tricking the truck across it back and forth with nice hydroplaning drifts. Battery lowers to storage level, I shut it off and head home. Arriving home, I put it aside to take apart and clean up later.
3 hours later, I grab it to clean up before bed. And notice lights are on and fans running. WTF? I take it apart, inspect it, toggle the switch to no avail. Even this morning, cleaned up and dried it won't shut off.
I know this is likely a broken switch, but have NEVER heard of a switch "breaking on". Just curious if its happened to others here or if this is a sign of a deeper issue with the BLX100 esc. And this isnt the wettest its gotten before. I once tried to hydroplane across a creek only to have it sink and run perfectly after pulling out and shaking off.
Any ideas?
