When the batteries are outside it is burning hot, maybe hold it in my hand for 2-3 seconds only. However the last time the stuttering problem happened it was inside the house and my wife was home so I was not going fast at all.
I need some assistance with this problem because I have no idea what it could be.
It will probably, eventually fry the next weakest link in the circuit (the cap in the BEC was the weakest). Coolhandcountry has a good point. Are you sure the little soldered points on the back of the BEC didn't short it out.
Never fight an ugly man..... he has nothing to loose
