Stupid me. I wired the batts in parallel. I forgot to buy a set of male deans when I went to the LHS. I was so anxious to try it out I tried just putting the second wire back onto the esc like it was when I got it. (maybe thats how the dope blew the cap and then just sold it...hmmm) The 2nd lead was sodlered onto the =/- posts like I soldered the ubec, giving it of course, parallel config.

This is why not to do this in the middle of the night. The two mistakes I've made have been past 1am. The little baby at home makes any other time playing with it difficult tho. Dang it.

It makes sense now. My gear ratio is giving about 1000rpm/mph. The 8 cell pack is 10.5V on the voltmeter, which th kv rating would give ~20-25K rpm = ~20-25 mph. Doh. Nice wheelies tho.

I put the 9920 in the rusty w/ the 6L for 2 min to test the cap I replaced earlier this week. It ran ok but stuttery, so I just assumed it was still a bit fubared from this prob. The wiring didn't cross my mind. Damn damn damn. Time to get another male deans and make a proper Y like I should have. Maybe this esc will work after all....Oh they are good cells, GPs 3300 and 3700s. Excellent in the rusty.

Thanks guys again. You saved a considerable amount of money and hairpulling a few times now.
