new set up with battery smoke

Thanks for all theninput. I was put of town this week. CHC, my ESC was bought from Mike and the wires are difinitely different from what your pic. The positive (red) and the neg (black) comes from the same side on your ESC, where as on mine ther are on diferent sides. I will give Mike an e-mail.

CHC....you are right! I clipped the two lower wires from the deans connector and left the red by the jumper and the black by the receiver intact and it works. I made a quick pic how the wires are on the 12020 I have. I will let mike know.
