Well, turns out my fear was not unfounded. CC BEC is history. I guess seeing how much smoke it could produce was worth the $25.......

Radio gear did survive, but somehow it managed to half-melt the insulation on the receiver lead of , my brand new MM, looks like my esc may have JUST survived. I am way more irked about that. I tested it multiple times with a meter, had it set at 6.2, the second it had an actual load on it, poof.

I don't know if it's even worth trying to get a refund. I'll eat the $25 knowing it'll never happen again cuz my experience with bec's ends here. So I'll be paying my LHS (2 hour round trip) a visit to buy a $3.49 4AA receiver 'pack'.

Joy.
