My Reedy ESC just went POP!

[Craguss]

Howdy all,

So I have had my new TA B4.1 for a couple of weeks, and already spent another £100 on repairs and extra FT bits. Also had fun at roundabout racing the other week.

Anyhow took my car on the beach in anglesey, (I thought it was risky, but it was FUN), it worked perfectly! I brought it home and decided it needed cleaning of all the sand.

Did that, and put the ESC near the radiator to dry, when I came to check it out, the ESC popped and started smelling! So i left it a bit and tried again, now it still does turn the motor but intermittently.

I presum I have damage the ESC irrepairably, so I am looking for advice as to what to do next.

I thought of purchasing the Reedy XP SC450 Brushless Combo - 6100KV, as my motor clearly still works (3300KV) and this way I would get a new ESC and another motor.

However just thought I would ask the question of whether there is a better brushless combo that would be worth buying at this point as I am about to spend £95 to get this fixed.

Thanks
