Back during my first mod, I was using an external BEC and didn't remove the red wire at first. Well, the KF voltage was ~6v, but the MMM BEC was ~5.5v and the KF heated up quite a bit. That tells me right there that the MMMBEC was heavily loading the external BEC because of the higher external voltage. So, even when everything is working normally, using an external BEC AND the internal one at the same time doesn't work.

I did the mod and it didn't work. It let off a small puff of smoke after I plug the rx pack (the red wire was not removed) and lipos. The rx pack is 5-cell hump pack from one of my nitro trucks. It was also hot. I'm not sure if the lipo or rx pack caused the smoke
.
So anyway, it's officially dead. That's my first V2 to die.
Back to the waiting game again
