Just smoked my MGM 16016

[standard_63]

So it seems that the servo must've burned out as well cuz now it seems dead. I hooked up a 9920 w/UBEC to see if I could run with that and it screams but no steering. Hooking an old Traxxas servo in to test and it works, so I'm guessing that maybe the servo burned out and then burned out the ESC? Or would it be the other way around, ESC burned out and then ruined the servo? Luckily the receiver seems fine. Servo was a JR 9000T, I think I may go cheaper on its replacement this time, maybe just the JR 650. Is 142oz ok? I'm thinking less current draw as well.

I also emailed MGM to see what they have to say, if no response I will send the controller back to you Mike. It doesn't work anymore, when I plug the batteries in it it immediately smokes and appears to flame on a litlle bit. :eek: I'm really hating that smell!!!
