Reassembled one of my outcasts and it was the first one where I've soldered a serial 6s battery harness - so I was naturally a bit nervous.

Start it up on the bench.

Is that smoke?!?

Yep.

Shut it off, unplug batteries. Sniff.

Nothing seems off. Wtf?!?

After deciding to check the polarity on my Rx, I recalled why I abhor Rx enclosures.

I'd screwed through the housing on my capacitor. Short. Smoke. No biggie.

This time.
 
Is there an aftr market Rx box that doesn't require tools to open yet remains water resistant? I might just use Tupperware.
