Default RE: 16.8V New E-maxx

You guys have any esc issues yet? Today I plugged in a couple packs (with traxxas connectors). By the time I made it to the couch and sat down, the thing started smoking like hippies in the 70's! I ran to the truck and disconnected the batts. I didn't even turn on the esc! The packs are brand new, it didn't seem to harm them at all. One of the wires broke free from the esc. I drove 80 miles to get this truck from a hobby store so I would have a place to deal with if something happened. I spent more on it but I felt better about it. I hope they will help me out. I have only ran it a little. I was excited to run it today with those batteries. Now I feel screwed! Hopefully the LHS or Traxxas will help me out!
