ESC just melted!!!!!!!

[berna1974]

I was going to try my Kyosho MP777 SP2 (turned from Nitro to Electric) wich I equipped with the Novak HV Max Brushless 6,5 System...

I replaced the Tamyia connectors of the ESC with two Deans, and put two 4500 Nimh Orion Battery Packs...so 12 Nimh batteries...that I usally use with my Kyosho ZX-5 SP2...

Good enough to make it move for starting, right?!?

Wel...when I pulled the remote controlle trigger the ESC startet smocking...I turned it off...but it was not enough cause the plastic at the bottom of the ESC started melting. This was so fast that I could not even unplug the batteries...

I bought the Novak system from US and the ESC is completely destroied now so I will foget the warrany!!!

Does any of you could help me on understanding what happened???

Now I need another ESC but it seems that Novak don't sell the HV Brushless ESC by itself for now (http://www.teamnovak.com/products/es...esc/index.html) do you have another ESC to suggest?
