whats wrong?
 

I got an F150 a while ago with stacked fets, lithium-ion's, and a stage 2 motor. I drove it around for a bit and then it started smoking and literally burst into flames! So I bought another electronics "package" swapped it out and now the steering works but the motor wont go... it went for about 1 sec after playing with it for a minute... then I saw smoke again.... Is my motor fried? This time I ran it on the stock batteries...
This sucks cause I just bought some more gpm for it....
Maybe I should cut my losses and just buy a new one?

Well I figured out that my motor was fried, which may have caused my FETS to burst into flames? I put another motor on that I had kicking around and it is gutless!!!!! so a new motor is in the cards pretty soon

You have binding somewhere the board is burning up because the motor is bound. Check your gear mesh. That happened with my first car. I hope you just went out and bought another car as opposed to paying 25 bucks for just the board.

what do you mean by binding? like something is making it run slower? or rubbing against another part of the drive train?

yeah, there are a lot of things that can cause binding, even over-tightening of screws sometimes
