Hate to hear that man. What was your full throttle current draw? What prop/motor?

It was the A30 10XL, it was the combo package as sold by fliton with the AJ Extra 330 stock prop also.

Attached pic so you can see damage.

From the looks of the burns it doesn't look like an over current issue. Are the burns strictly on the control board side like in the pic or are there some on the power side where the all the FETS are? It could be a result of the BEC getting too hot but it looks unlikely. Maybe something got shorted out on the board.

The burning was only on the one side and it was while the motor was not under any load at all. But this was about the 12th flight with this setup and eveything had awesome power.
