Re: Who has released the Magic Smoke!!!
About a week before ship day, I attached a PWM cable to the relay port on the RC so it would be ready to connect to the spike relay when it was mounted. I foolishly left the wire hanging loose. A few days later, the loose end slipped into the backup battery ground terminal. The wire was laying across the RC, so when the magic smoke came out of the wire (lots of it), I thought it was coming from the RC!
