Cooked GTB-2???
 
hey just have a small question here, just got a new gtb2 esc, soldered it up, have been running it, and i accidentally-dont we all love to do this, reversed polarity :rolleyes: I only toched leads for a second, saw a huge spark for literally a fraction of a second, and was like :eek: So i pluuged it back in and IT WORKS FINE!!!, at least i hope. See, i ran my truck today to LVC for the first time with this esc, and when i plugged the lipo into my ICE, it read 5.4 volts. Isnt this a little low? :confused: The GTB is supposed to cutoff at 6.25 volts. The esc says that LVC is active, but the throttle dipped near the end of the run and felt just like a NiMH dying. I was able to get my charger to recognize it, but not my balancer. So my question is, did my rev polarity issue cook the LVC? Also if it did, can i just use an ex BEC or should i send it in?
