LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING IS BURNT , AND SMELL ..

WHERE CAN I BRING IT FOR REPAIR?

[if the charger manufacturers made it stupid proof they would of put in a fuse somewere... if they didn't you are uckfayed.

don't worry we've all done things of this magnitude on the "dumbo-meter" before.

True that, one esc and counting...... :lol:

very true...ive even put the shottky diode around the wrong way.. POOF goes the new esc.
blew up the same esc again (after getting it fixed) by wrong polarity.
lol 1 esc and counting!

Guys, any suggestion, or recommendation where to send for repair? any good electricians around Melb?

what brand charger?

it is a TLP blue in color, with FET auto cut. charge 4-7 cells
1A-5A output
with 220v and 12 V input
model no. 3000

ask at metro, pete knows a guy. i think his names alex wilhelm or something.

ask around the hill for peter stubis he can fix just about anything even tiny esc's just be aware the time he takes may be a few weeks as it's only a hobbie not a job for him

I AM NOT IN A HURRY, PETER STUBIS? IN METRO?

Peter Stubis is in Sydney, Castle Hill to be precise.

You can contact Peter on 0418 602 486
Cheers ;)

just head into metro, this guy takes less than a week and is pretty local (in suburban melb at least)

Local hobby store is best bet, they always have someone up there sleeve.
