Unhappy Oh Dear! I Just Fried My Whole Truck!!! - 07.21.2006, 06:36 PM

This really really really really really really really really vacums:mad:1:035:! I was trying to wire in a fan so that if I turned on the main switch, the fan would turn on too. The fan would be powered from the main batteries. I also wanted another switch that would switch the fan from being powered from one 7-cell battery to both 7-cell batteries. Well, I wired everything up like in the pic.

When I turned switch 2 on, the fan turned on, my shifting servo went beserk and stripped itself, smoke came up from somewhere, I smelled that horrible smell of burning silicon, whether it be a circuit board or wire insulation or both, and a steady stream of curses issued from my mouth. That was yesterday. Today, I wanted to try and run my truck. I put everthing back together, only with no fan in the equation. Just all the servos, esc, and RX pack plugged in to the reciever. I turned on my transmitter, then the reciever. Nothing happened. The servos didn't even move like they do if you turn the reciever on without the transmitter on. I cursed. I checked the Rx pack. It read a little over 6v. My 7-cell GP3300s were freshly charged. I tried switching to a different Traxxas 3-channel reciever. Nothing. Once again, I cursed. I untwisted the programming wires(same as removing red programing jumper) to try and program the 9920. I turned it on again and plugged the batts in. Nothing. The ESC didn't even make the motor beep for programing:012:. I usually have a very clean mouth and don't curse or swear or cuss or anything like that. Today is different. Very different. I went and got out my EVX. I plugged a battery into it's BEC side and the little LED lit up. I plugged it into the channel 2 port on the new reciever. Then I plugged the steering servo from my Villain into channel one. I turned on the transmitter and the servo budged. I turned the steering wheel right. The servo turned right. Then I tried plugging in the steering servo in my E-Maxx in place of the boat's servo. Nothing. Didn't budge, didn't respond:012:. Right about now, I'm bawling my eyes out because I know what's comming. I plug the EVX into the battery slot on the new reciever and plug the shifting servo into channel 3. Nothing:012:. I take the plunge and plug my poor little 9920 into channel 2 on the new reciever with the EVX providing BEC in the battery port. I turned on the transmitter and squeezed the throttle. NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:012::012::012:

This is very, very, very, very, very, very bad. I can't afford another 9920, and even if I could, my parents wouldn't let me spend that much money. I have to save half of what I make, and right now I have about $10 of usable money. I'd have to make $360 to buy another one. That would take about a year or two.
My only hope is that one of you might come up with something I overlooked, or if my 9920 is under warrenty or that Mike has some way he could fix it.

Thank you for any effort you put into this,
Brijar...:012:
