It melted the crap out of one of the terminals, lucky once I swapped to the 4mm solid connectors from ProTek....the problem went away (so far) and the battery is actually still useable.

These are what I used: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...nectors-4-Male

They are on backorder, but they have a male/female set that is usually in stock. Other brands will probably work as well...just not the springy crap connectors that HobbyKing ships the batteries with...

Hope that helps!

Thanks.Those are the male bullets that im using. I have another nano tech with 10 charges and it works great. This one had 1 charge on it and this happened on the first run. Were you able to get a replacement for the one you had go bad.
