man, sorry to see that go down like that,probably needed a 30 esc,...hobbyking usualy has some cheap esc's for about10 to 20 bucks,..read th reviews below and pick 1,..if u had overproped it would have atleast flown for a little while before th fire,...good luck brother,peace.
If you had a larger ESC (like a 30-40A) it might not have smoked. This might be what your hot-rod friends are doing. This is still no good as it just pushes the stress to the motor or batter. So even if your ESC didn't smoke your motor and/or battery would soon.
@RCSuperPowers Oh, ok. Well this is a learning experience for me and a new esc is not that expensive. So I guess my battery and my motor still should be good then.
Thanks for all your help Mr. Powers. You are the one that got me interested in rc and I have really enjoyed all of your entertaining and informative videos.
@RCSuperPowers That is probably true. I used that prop because I had seen a couple other people use it without problem but I guess my luck is not that good.

The reason it smoked is because you put a prop on it thats way too big.
