burned fets?

[vietazndude]

ok heres my story, i was running my new titan (week old) with some mini offroading and suddenly it wouldnt move. now i could steer but i couldnt move. i checked my fets and i see a little yellow spots. (i cant get pics because they would be too blurry) did i burn my fets? this was my setup.
s2 motor, awd, lift kit and recharable batts. i know its not my motor because i tryed them all and the motor wouldnt run. did i burn my fets?

sounds like it, do you smell burnt plastic?

[imnotmikal]

i did the same thing... with all 3 of my xmods. a truck, evo car, and gen 1.

[vietazndude]

i didnt smell it but i usally smell the s2 motor, or maybe that was plastic. i burned it yesterday and it was kinda windy so i didnt really notice

Same here i but i only burned truck and evo, but none of my gen1 had some burned fets.

Ehh, you might have, you might have not. The first thing I do is check all over to see if anything is binding. Next, I look inside the motor. Chances are, if your servo still gets power, your FETs aren't fried, and somethings screwed up in the motor (loose wind, wire breakage, brushes not touching, etc).

If these aren't the problems, chances are pretty high that you fried your FETs...

There are separate fets for the motor and steering servo.
