A disaster waiting to happen. Thanks for the red-dot idea!
Yeah, that's how it happened! I have 2 Protek batteries that have opposite placement of the terminals! How silly is that?! So I plugged one in thinking it was the other and poof! I wasn't so lucky and got a smokey ESC. Sent back to Castle for a replacement. That's another major reason I wasn't on a track today.
