Oh trust me, if I quit over stuff like this, I would have quit a LONG time ago. I think everyone knows how something like this feels. Just costs a lot of time and money, and you feel dumb. It happened, and I am going to see what can and can't be fixed. I know Novak tends to have some good deals on replacement ESCs which is nice.
I will try to have a pic of the battery and chassis up tomorrow so people can see the damage.
