If you're burning RX14 boards, I'd like to know what info you're using to hook them up...

Also, you said you're burning FETs when you connect everything, now thats worrying... stock motors? Not even started?

I don't know. Last time I was testing a proportional smoke unit, maybe I misconnected the wires. Smoke, and then a couple of fets cracked open burning.

This time I had already tested the board several times while assembling it (usually I add a component, test that everything is working, add another one, etc.). The burning occurred when I finished connecting everything (recoil, DBC, audio amplifier).
One fet went short-circuit (one of the motors did run even with tank in stand-by) and shortly after cracked open burning. I don't know what happened, maybe a bad soldering.
I'm unlucky with RX-14 boards I fear.
