controller on fire!!

Perhaps BK can determine if it was moisture or a dead short that caused the issue, but I doubt it. where was your truck while you weren't using it? Any chance it picked up some moisture> What batteries/gearing etc. were you using on it when it failed? Did you inspect the wires to make sure there are no bare spots(wire with no covering) that could have shorted on the chassis or something?
