Well my MMM went up in smoke!

Well it's finally happened.

Did a few minutes of practice laps before start of race, then pulled into my grid position for the start of the race, was stopped for 20-30 Seconds and when i hit the throttle for the start of the race all i got was smoke. lol

Would like to know if it's worth sending in to repair as i'm in Australia..
it's no longer under warranty, Has anyone from AUS sent theres back and if so what was the postage cost roughly.

Thanks.
