RX8 fried - help a noob please

[perseus71]

I'm sorry about your RX8. I have two of them and are very happy with them.

Are you sure the battery was fine after you had repaired the tab? I had the same pop experience once with a Zippy and the RX8 and I then reconiced that a solder tab inside the battery was melted down. When I checked the battery over the balancer tab it was fine but when I measured the voltage on the connector there was no power on. When it poped my hart was standing still. Luckily the ESC was still running just fine.

By the way, how did you convert our XXL to electro? Did you use the conversion kit from Losi or what did you do?
