I'd call them up and talk to them first. They've replaced that same ESC for me before, although mine wasn't involved in an explosion.

RE: Mini Quake ESC broken!
I almost exclusively charge my battery packs while they're in the vehicles and I've never had any problems. I guess it's not the best scenario in the case of a charging catastrophe, but the probability of such a catastrophe just can't justify the work it takes to take the batteries out. OK, fine, I'm just lazy. I have had the batteries in my JR radio completely melt the back of it when my charger failed to peak. It still works, though. I also had an ESC go up in massive flames while driving my TT-01 and amazingly nothing else was damaged.

He did a no no when charging his battery. Charged a micro pack at way too high amps.....BOOM. Esc was damaged in exp. I think.

It's not that much work to take it out.
