An 8S Castle ESC lasts 0.43 seconds on 12S voltage. And it smells so bad after the POP.

Those damn series and parallel adapters look so similar when you’re in a hurry

Daaaaaaaang dude, that sucks! Sorry for what is a bit of an expensive “incident.”

That sucks man. I think we've all fried at least one ESC due to user error. That smell is freakin horrible. Gonna have to sit that bad boy outside for a day or two.

Yeah I feel pretty stupid right about now.

I brought the car out to the garage right way. Initially because I was concerned about a lipo fire, but I left it out there (w/o lipos) due to the smell.

Bummer. What rig was it in?

Infraction. No fire or damage to the car at all, thankfully. Just a dead ESC.

2 wires between the plugs not one! Yep, did the same thing but on a smaller scale. A 1/16 Summit boogies on 4s, and then it caught on fire.
