Kraton Tried to fix the 4 green flashes of death in my esc... esc fixing gone wrong

[Surchaufeur]

Do not try to fix the green flashes of death or you risk of burning down ur house. Lucky my lipos were not onboard. My esc bricked itself yesterday when i went out with a friend. Attempted to deeply try to fix it and it exploded. My first blx 185 threw a tiny smoke when i attempted to fix it too and made a creepy noise. But lucky nothing else happened. But this one just exploded.

It smells so terrible. Was able to remove the burn marks with my ultrasonic cleaner. It could have been so much worse. The fire killed itself when the negative lead unsoldered itself

It only takes one stupid move like plugging the wire when ur giving throttle input to just set ur house on fire. I didnt think when i did it i only though about the blinking red light. I got throttle back but at the cost of a fire.

It is indeed one offensive smell when electronics burn up!!
Sorry for the loss!! I burned up a nice HW Xerun 150a(sensored) a few months back. I kept it around for a bit wanting to salvage the fan, wires and connectors from. Dang that thang stunk!! Finally hacked everything off and gave it a proper burial about a week later..

Lost my max 10 I had in a blitz flux sc truck. Crappy soldering iron, and did not get a good soldering job on the esc connector. Negative line desolderd itself and touched positive on throttle.
Flame ON!!!!
THEN END!

Dang man what did you do!!

Plugged the yellow lead when i gave a bit of throttle. It was my last ditch attempt. Smoked and caught fire. Learned my lesson. Lucky my lipos were not strapped in but hanging on the side of the vehicle
