Controllers let out smoke for one reason outside of being defective.......bad current flow. Check your soldering, connector tightness, and mainly, don't use cheap, low c related batteries. Additional caps can help clean up inconsistencies in current flow, but nothing can help a zippy pack trying to push a e-revo to 65.

Was funny is that I use zippy all the time, and I actually typed crappy. The spell check on my phone corrected it to that, and I found it so funny, I just didn't change it.
