Usually, it's not the rx or servo that shorts out technically. What probably happened is the BEC outputted full battery voltage. Some receivers are less sensitive than others, but unless servos specifically say they are rated for higher voltage, they will burn out at voltages that are too high above their rating. What brand BEC was it?

That's what I was thinking brian and if the red wire was removed from the MMM then it would be very unlikely that the MMM did the damage. I am interested to see what bec it was though.
