Ok, curiosity got to me and I decided to open up my failed Curtis 1231c.
The 8 screws on the bottom were only covered with two little rubber
plugs (no potting compound) which is different from what I'd read about
online. I removed them.
I then used a razer to cut all around the "front panel" potting compound
with the motor/battery terminals and 3 throttle/ KSI plugs, and I can
pull the terminals and potting compound up about 1/4 inch, at which
point I hear/fel a "think" noise.
I didn't want to remove the back potting compound panel (where the
Curtis nameplate and serial number are located) if I don't need to.
But I also don't want to just pull really hard and hurt something....
For people who have dissembled one of these before, do I need to detach
the back potting compound plate from the extrusion to slide things out,
or is it enough to pull everything out the "front" terminal side?
Thanks,
Jay
