3-4min ride in snow.. my castle 1515 wasnt even warmed up yet..
Stopped, smoked, and before i got to the car, it flamed up. But i ripped the lid and disconnected the lipos right away.
Lipos was probably saved because of soldering pins that came loose from the esc.

I`ve had a heavy portion of bad luck this month.

Just maybe the soldering pins were coming loose before the fire and actually caused the problem in the first place? It could have been from one of the pins shorting out to another pin or something else in the mix. Sorry to read and see your bad luck, but ya know what they say. Once you hit bottom there is only one way to go from there, and that is UP... Better luck for the rest of 2011.
