pugging in backwards
 

Can the motor get damaged if the battery was plugged into the esc with positive and negative reversed?

Motor? No. ESC? Yes!
How'd you manage to do that?

Just killing that poor redcat one piece at a time i see. Should just take it outside and put the poor thing out of it misery.

As EXT2Rom has said how did you manage to do that?

I've accendentally sent battery voltage to the receiver with a elaborate LED loom....receiver was fine but the ESC dident like it.... Lol whoops

It wasnt me... my neighbor was putting traxxas clips on his cars and put the wires in the wrong side in his ruckus and was gonna sell it n i was debating getting it but only if it worked and was extremly cheap but i decided not to get it i dont need any more of his drama
