the shrink swap slid out of the bullet connectors on the motors. Could have also been on the truck mounting hardware.
Nothing visible that I can tell, I think It blew at really low current.
@Bavioze The enclosures have been taking their sweet time.

The wiring should be dragging on top of the wheels, I like the shoebox but it would be nicer with a kitten poking out.
4wd on foamies is ballsy so go you but get the glue lined shrink wrap fir the bullets

yeah, what I meant was how I was planning on having my TB40 by now, but then I got some from you while I waited. Then those took long enough (not too long) for me to unfortunately slap this together.
Now itās on me to get the damn enclosures ready to mount.

The wires do basically touch the wheel in full turn, but fuck it I didnāt want to attach them to the deck.
Yeah honestly I knew they were at risk of shorting and did nothing about it. Fortunately it was a 1.6 that I fried so it should be slightly less expensive if I need/want to replace it.
Iām planning on attempting the DRV repair because I have a hot air gun. Iām going to give it my very best attempt, could easily see it not working but I guess I could try multiple times if it doesnāt

I liked your description of them as a 60 leg spider
nope not a single time. A buddy on the discord gave me the great idea to practice with some random PCB so Iām going to start practicing until I think Iām good enough.
In a few weeks Iāll have some Torque ESCās to short out.
I need to buy:
the smd
flux
the flux with solder in it
