Another 9920 Lets Out its Smoke... -

I didn't even do anything to it this time. I was just trying to hook everything up. I had a 7-cell battery hooked up to it, it plugged into the 3-channel rx, and a 5 cell rx pack plugged into the rx slot. I took out the red jumper to program it, but it didn't turn on. I got a whiff of the familiar burning electronics smell, so I ran my hand over everything to see what was hot. Sure enough, the caps were burning hot. As fast as I could, I unplugged everything I could, but it was too late and a loud hiss came out followed by a lot of smoke from the caps area.
I can't afford to get it fixed, so I may try and sell my Maxx, since it has been nothing but trouble, and get some kind of Mamba system for my Rustler. It makes me sad that nothing even wants to work around here. Basement flooded, blew an RX, broke an output shaft on the Maxx, and now this stupid ESC has gone and let its smoke out:035:.
Is there any warranty at all, because it had just been replaced by Mike last November?
