UPDATE: found a strand of wire from the + lead touching on the circuit board. This is where the smoke came from. Turns out all still works, just a short. Bought a 030 motor but it doesn't quite Mach up. Just a hair bigger and screw holes are off a hair and bigger. What gives? Thought this was...
I want to try to run my old micro t desert truck. Electronics are smoked I think. Any available motor/esc out there? Upgrade to lipo/brushless would be good. Nothing fast just indoor fun. My boys had these years ago and they are hard to find parts for.
