mamba max pro question...

[DwightSchrute]

i reciently traded my truggy for 2 sc trucks and $150. one of the sc trucks had a novak 4.5 motor in it hooked up to a mamba max pro.

the novak 4.5 motor seems to work great with 2 glitchbuster caps plugged in to the receiver.

ok, now...here's the f'd up part about the deal. i found out last night from another friend of mine that the guy who had the mamba max pro in the sc had reversed the polarity on the esc the first time he plugged it into the battery and it just started to smoke. it was quickly unplugged and it was tried again, this time the correct way and the esc was fine.

it's remained working for the last 4 months. so, my question is, is it possible to speculate what it was that started to smoke? i'd really like to know if this is something that's gonna bite me in the ass in the end.

thanks guys.
