RE: Help with ESC
Well, it shouldn't be fried, unless the motor is too big. I would just get something from castle creations, as they have really good esc's, and you get what you pay for.
I have looked at the manual, and it seems that they haven't used any wire to lengthen the leads. How close is the canopy to the ESC? And which power setup are you using? The 450, or the 400? I'm thinking about getting one now, as it is perfect for my needs.
