I’m not satisfied with the lack of an explanation here. @Deodand I know you’re busy and this isnt your job anymore, but can you give us your best guess at what happened here? This just hanging here with no explanation scares the hell out of me, none of my builds have a fuse between the ESC and battery.
If your are really very interested in making this happen lmk
anyone has experience with 120mm cloudwheels or other big wheels on smaller 30" decks? would it be practical to mount them on one?
Look at my build threads

You mean the 6 shooters? Back then those were the only 6inch option and many were or are quite happy with them. From what I gathered they are usable with regular skate axle diameter and length. The only thing to look out is the area around the valve is a bit sharp same as with bergmeister hubs. But it is easy to sand round.

It’s been awhile since I made that layout, but if memory serves it looks like the short happened in the region where the 5V buck regulator is (the thing that turns the battery voltage into 5v).
It is likely that something strange happened to the 5v bus somehow. Based on the location of the destroyed copper it doesn’t have much to do with the motor drive so it isn’t the loss of sensors. But yea definitely a strange story, I will think a bit more on it.

Thanks for your input, Jeff. Let me know if you’d like any more info about the burnt Xenith. I can do some continuity checks if that helps. It would be nice if we could get to the bottom of this mystery.
Interestingy we can see what blew up is the transient voltage spike protection diode on the voltage bus. This diode will conduct if a voltage beyond 60-ish volts is applied to the unit or if a reverse voltage is applied. I have seen it blow up most often with a BMS disconnecting while braking and the resulting over-voltage blows the diode. It should be designed to fail open but if it failed shorted it could conduct across the battery leads and burn.
My guess is the sensor cable thing is just something that happened in parallel with some other system voltage spike reaking havoc. Usually if the TVS pops something else has gone very wrong.
