Hi Steve, question for you, like you could'nt have guessed that. Tonight I was setting up my touring car with the GTB from one of my trucks, it is the spread spektrum, lipo cuttoff one. I had everything set and powered up the system, for some reason there were no lights on the side of the unit and the esc got hot real quick. So I unhooked the motor, both the sensor harnes and the three wires and powered up the esc again to do the one-touch program just in case for some reason it had switched to brushed mode (no reason for that to happen I have'nt run a brushed motor in two yrs). I had just finished the one-touch progam when poof out came the magic smoke. I'll package it up and send it in tomorrow but I don't have the receipt, checked already, any idea on what might have happened? And any thoughts on how much it'll cost? I'm also thinking of sending in the motor to be checked just in case that was the problem.

Thanks
Chris
