Default Orion R10pro

Help !!!

I was messing with one of my cars last night and when plugging in my esc into the lipo I had a blond moment and mistakenly revered the polarity, the battery wires on the esc got super hot and desolate red them self from the battery connectors.

The esc still comes on and looks to function as it should (led lights work) the servo operates as it should but stutters/struggles on drive of the motor.

Anybody done this and had the esc repaired or know if a repair is possible or is it only good for the bin now ??

Cheers
Stu.

I've done this twice but I was lucky as the capacitor took the hit and all I had to do was replace that.

If your lights are on but no drive then I'd say the fets are away.

I think it can be repaired by Orion but by all accounts you'd be as cheap buying a new speedo.

Unless someone on here can recommend someone to repair it.

Good luck.

Dave
