I think you'll find that what has gone wrong there is the 'magic smoke' has escaped from the speedo.
As most people know there is 'magic smoke' inside all electronic components which allows them to work. Once the smoke has escaped they cease to be. However, at this point they can make very good little silicon heaters (as shown above). Here endeth the first electronics lesson, next time I'll explain where the mirrors come into it!  G

Northy, do certain esc's have more 'volatile' secret smoke than others, causing them to pop, and I assume, once the smoke has escaped, the unit is then scrap?

i woud have said tho this is a saftey issue as in a failure there is no quick way to disconect, and should some one be injured or burnt, then the outcome would be "not enough saftey measures taken, hence why "big" cars in motor sport have a cut off switch, who does the eisk assesments for off road ie the saftey officer?
those who are bleeting on about it wont let me down, show some consideration for the poor marshall who picks it up for you!

we all accept the dangers in racing, and have the upmost consideration for marshals, but let go through all the pros and cons and get all the cons banned then we wont be able to race,
battery's for charging of, potential explosion risk, as a mechanic you will know that one, seen to many mechanics taken to hospital with acid burnt faces. ib 4200nimh extremely dangerous stay clear while charging we all seen them pickys, super glue bonds skin in seconds, acetone tyre remover extremely flammable potential toxic hazard not to mention a 2-3lb car hitting you in the shins were do we stop all this because one speedo went up in flames that was soldered what about the 10 20 that went up in flames last year no one mentioned them,and yes some were way more dangerous then the one at teesside, like the one that shot of into the crowd at full throttle,who was going to stop that one at 20-MPH whats the answer there, calm down, get of your horses

well bloody said. the thing is with soldering direct in is a CHOICE over using corally conectors, which brings safty issues up as seen in the picture and told by youreself " bigred ". as for many of these things happening and not getting brought to attension, they did not get posted on the internet where a vast amount of people gather such as this site for opionions and such on almost anything. the thing is also, this has been blurted out on here as its the only picture of this ive seen on oOple / northern racer... regards to the ib 4200s charging is a must.... with out power means no racing ! lol i agree with what you say about most things being dangerous, but if it can be avoided isnt it best to do so ?

all true as stated but connectors wont stop it, just possibly reduce the over all damage. giving the manufacture a chance to see what happened, a connector in any form whilst shorting is going to be bloody hot and will still burn your fingers, wire cutters or pliers are much safer, and in such will cut wire soldered or connector-ed,and as for the marshals no one wont's to get hurt or burnt,including me or my son, in the case of the car at teesside it would have reduced the overall damage had it been using connector and some one getting there in time, and again all here say after the fact again what ifs
