I just had a little HW fire too.

-Brand new Caster Truggy
-HW 80A ESC
-New Turnigy 2x3000 4S
-New 2.4G radio system

Smoke, fire, melted plastic, wiring ETC.
Was waiting for MMM to be returned so was trying
an 80A HW in the meantime. Only changed timing to 7.5deg, punch default.

I can't believe how much damage it has caused on a brand new setup
that has never even flipped or hit anything. I might go back to flying
for a while, only damage is when you crash.
