[stoney69]

Hi Plugged in my bullet connectors into my 2 1s saddle lipos and turned on switch!
Then the red and black cable from the esc got that hot they caught fire and melted...

What could of caused this as i am new to buggy racing ?

The esc was red hot when i touched it
tryed to plug in again with another set of leads and within 1/2 second they were hot again so i unplugged them....

Please can anyone help


Thanks
