I recently purchased an ESC that needed new leads soldered on. I figured easy enough and the price was right. I got everything soldered on and since I was making changes I decided to put deans plugs on everything as well. I decided to test it on the bench and shortly after I put power to it "poof" smoked a transistor in the ESC . So I've sent the ESC off to be repaired/replaced.

My question is could this cause the receiver not to work and kill the steering servo as well? I can't get the receiver to respond to any kind of input and I've tried the steering servo hooked into a different receiver and nothing. I only had a few minutes to mess with it this morning. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim
