So after letting it sit for a couple months while I was busy, I finally test ran my CRT with 160/24 and Lehner 1950 7t on 6s lipo. It was running backwards, but I wanted to run so I just dealt with it for two passes up and down my street. Ran like a bat out of hell. Brought it in to switch the two wires on the motor to fix the backwards running. Turned it back on, and nothing.

I re-did the programming, still nothing. The controller would blink it's LEDs for the programming sequence, but instead of a motor beep sound, I would hear a pop sound. Repeated this numerous times and switched the motor wires back just to see. Same results each time. I noticed one of the external caps had broken next to it's mount on the board, so I soldered it back on. Still nothing.

I hooked up the Lehner to a Mtroniks I have, and it worked fine. So i guess the question at hand is if any of you can think of something I missed. Or how is MGM warranty? Slow? Do I send it back to Mike or directly to MGM?
