Re: Blown talon srx modules

We also have a blown Talon SRX. During a practice session last weekend the talon stopped functioning. No lights no voltage on the output leads at all. We opened the talon and discovered that one of the capacitor leads to the circuit board was burned into. We soldered the lead back together but still does not work. Looks like something else on the board is fried. The only thing we think might have happened is the connectors on the leads from the talon to the motor were not correctly insulated and shorted to the aluminum frame. The beaker on the power distribution board was tripped.
We have ordered two more. It seems as though the new Talons are somewhat sensitive. Word of caution, make sure all connectors are secure and insulated properly and have a couple of spare talons on hand.
