Smoke coming from my zipzap,, oops

Post by Sporttracguy »

Well I built a tri cell zipzap yesterday and for all of my smaller cars ive been using a modified epoch charger with the wall adapter. It works great for the 4 cell epoch and my bits except for this time. I plugged the zipzap in to charge it like i always do(this bugger is really fast,, well it was anyways :-? )

Here is where everything went wrong,, turns out i had left the remote on and then i leaned on it by accident.. Before i knew what was happening the wheels start spinning really fast and then a whole bunch of smoke came from the PCB,, Well, its toast now,,OOPS :-x

just thought i would get that out,, Damn!
