Eh… sure your polarity is correct?
Looks correct to me but then again the battery could be backwards
Double checked, they were all correct.
That’s good news for you. Reach out to Teknin. See what they say. Being that it’s a Gen1 you might be out of luck.
Plugged in battery and turned it on, got a good spark then esc caught fire, sad day. Gen1 tekin rx8
Good old Tekin, living up to its reputation!
Press F to pay your respects
Someone followed the tekin soldering video...
Time to get a new one
Tekin can offer you 50 percent off on a refurbished one if you email them.
Oh sweet I’ll have to email them then. Thanks!
