Connected battery wrong way round :(

[chris24jt]

Hi All,

Rather stupidly i plugged battery in the wrong way round and it went bang (who would have thought!)

Now when i plug it in correctly it powers up, steering works, speedo boots and beeps as normal but when i try to put throttle on i get a blue light on speedo, and fan spins straight away, when putting brakes on red light comes on and nothing else happens. i tried to reconfigure speedo and first time i put power on the motor turned very briefly and then back to the same.

its a Vampire SR1+ - no obvious external damage but there was a slight smell when I first plugged it in. normally the fan only spins after its warmed up - ie not immediately after putting power on.

going to have a play tonight but anything to suggest that i can try? was planning to swap sensor wire first job.

or is it just dead / scrap

Thanks

Give dms racing a call. I sent mine back with the same problem. Everything worked but no power. Check the sensor connector in the esc mine had come loose.

If it been reverse connected pretty good chance it's fried

I've plugged my Vampire sr+1 in backwards about 5 times. Worked fine everytime once I plugged it in correctly afterwards.

But as above speak to Dms and hey will be able to help
