Well you see, I'm not under the authority to reveal top-secret ways of rejuvenating burnt equipment. But....I'll give you a hint......you go to the grocery store, look for a bottle that says "Liquid Smoke" apply a generous helping of that to whatever the smoke came out of and WHAMO, good as new. Just Kidding. LOL Believe me, I've burnt up more electronics than I want to remember. And for a little while, I thought I was adding this ESC to the pile. I've read though that these are very hardy. I read somewhere that a guy got the positive and negative of his battery mixed up and hooked one of these up backwards. He said that he finally got the fire blown out before it got the ESC itself. Afterwards, he said it worked fine.
