Just smoked my MGM 16016

[standard_63]

I'm guessing I blew the BEC, otherwise I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I was just running around in my livingroom messing around when the servo stopped working. I ran over to my Emaxx and there was smoke pouring out and I could see flames under the plastic cover. I felt a little sick...

It looks like it burned right behind where the receiver wires are soldered to the board. No shorts that I could find.

I thought it would be good for 4s lipo using BEC, but now I know that I probably should never use BEC? Why even bother putting it into the car controller then? I really couldn't understand what the instructions said about overload, but I figured at 4v the servo wouldn't pull too much current but I guess it did?

Anyway, is it possible to get repaired or am I SOL?:P: Only got 3 runs on the sucker...it wasn't even warm after it flamed out. Nothing was warm at all, absolutely no warning.
