Heatsink;

Yep, that's fried. That has happened to me with a few ESC and the cause was bad timing set on them. The latest one was a 60A ESC from Hobbywing and I was using it with a 6 pole Mega. I made a mistake of changing the timing instead of another setting so one phase burned out. With the 4 pole Neu Y motors the timing should be at middle. Please send the unit back Lito.
