Default A little bit too hot

today i plugged in my bettry pack on the marder tro test the sevos be4 i went out, i noticed that the the wire from the cells was getting hot so i checked all the connections to and from the reciver the y joint ect. all ok and fine. so i plugged the pack back in and started to test the servos like i did brfor the throttle was fine but the stering wouldnt work. Again the wire got hot so i unplugged it but this time smoke pored ot of the connecter filling the room witha horible smell net the wire suddenly glowed bright red and diseintagrated maelting the side skirt and the strange ting is that when i removed the battery pack from the car it happend again

Gotta "short" somewhere in your line.[X(]
Ive done that before with a new pack I made and charged it for the first time.
Change your wires and make sure the dont touch anywhere..

A pinch is all it takes.
Any bad roll overs or smack somthing hard?
These are thin wires and dont take to pinches too well.
