Schottky Smoke
 
Hello, I'm dipping my toe back in the RC water and dug out my old RC10T2 running a brushed setup (Novak Hammer and Trinity motor). Having plugged in a new NiMh battery (my old nicads were last used 17 years ago) it seemed to work with my new 2.4ghz tx/rx but smoke started coming from the schottky diode on the motor and it died. What could have gone wrong? It worked before it went away...

Thanks

I would suggest removing the diodes and getting new ones, personally I used two or three on the opposite side compared to where the esc wires were attached to the motor. I would also rebuild your motor, as a skim and new brushes would be advised due to the length of time they have not been used.
