Default Electronical question about speedos

I have an ASC (or reedy maybe) esc SC450-BL. come stock with a BL T4.1

anyway, i wired up a pack in reverse and when i touched the connector it made a quiet click. then it wouldnt power up.

Electrically, what most likely has happened? blown component? Fried trace?

I would like to fix this if possible, or at least take a stab at fixing it before i toss it.

any thoughts on that?


Thx,
Pete

I believe it fries the FET's among other things. Probably send in for factory repair, or toss i'd say.

You're not going to be able to fix it yourself, either send it in for repair or toss it and upgrade.

Did you tell them what YOU did to let the majic smoke out?? If you did and they sent you a free one that's a stand up move on thier part. Good job AE.
