fried 9920

[skyler]

Just found this thread while searching to see if anyone else has had this very problem. I bought a 9920 from here a few months ago but only used it very briefly, not more than 5 times. Yesterday I plugged in the batteries to my controller the same way as I do always, but then it started to just smoke for some strange reason. No idea how. I unplugged everything, checked it all over and tried again, I couldn't see any smoke, but when I throttled it a lot more smoke came out. I unplugged everything immediately. Motor was a Wanderer 8xl on only 14 cells. The wheels also seemed to turn much much slower than it should. I don't suppose I should try it again now to see if it works as some of you guys said it sometimes does after it smokes?
