Schottky Smoke

[mr_tim]

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
