Zephyr caught on fire!

Looks like the Ez gear is still in good shape, luckily as we wouldn't want you defecting to the girly side. if you left the throttle at 1/3 that could smoke the ESC if it doesn't have an overcurrent cutoff.

I sympathize!

LOL. Oh. I mean umm... " "

I guess I spoke too soon (note to self read all posts in topic) the current sensor got toasted, PM me your address and I'll send you a replacement. I would also suggest switching to XT60 connectors.

Hahaha

On a serious note, move away from Deans and start using XT60s. Deans, even the original ones, start becoming loose over time (= higher contact resistance) and the arching further smears the contact areas with soot (= higher contact resistance) which you push inwards every time (= even more contact resistance). On top of that the small metal leaf spring that makes the connectors mate sees metal fatique over time, or becomes less 'springy' (= connector = loose) I've had a few connectors where one has broken off already, but I guess I fly more often than the average pilot. From the next batch onwards all ImmersionRC gear will have XT60s.

Agree I took deans off all my rigs and replaced them with XTs. I think I soldered like 35 XT connectors to ESCs and batts in 1 night. Was not a fun night.

+1 on XT60s!

Get them here, don't go for the fake ones, they'll melt during soldering which misaligns the pins (= bad idea)
