I would make sure it's wired correctly and try it again. I don't think the switches are a very good idea, they might not even hold up to the current. With the fans and ubec in there the wiring seems pretty hairy to me as it is, no need to make it even more complicated!

I've had escs that worked ok with jumpers and adapters on the battery, but on my 9920 I had to wire it up directly and use 2 batteries all the time, otherwise the speed control part didn't work right, one time I even smoked it! It still works now (knock on wood), so if your steering/bec works maybe it's still ok.

Try it with no fan or ubec at first, and make sure your solder joints are nice and solid. If it works, then you can add in the fan and ubec and sigh relief!

Good luck ~ I've once burnt 3 escs, 2 motors, and a set of lipos in one month, I feel your pain!!
