    What did you change since it was running last and before putting in the controller?
    I've not changed the drive wiring at all since 2.0.

    I was thinking about buying a featherstwo for the weapons system What voltage were you using? Did you have a second speed controller in play ?
    Voltage is 13.2v nominal (2x 2S1P LiFePO4 batteries). The only speed controllers I had in were the 2x TZ85A controllers for the drive and this FeatherTwo.

    What version of the feather two did you get? And did you wire it in correctly? If you can get a photo that would help diagnose the issue.
    I got a single channel FeatherTwo. Picture is as below (I think I have it wired in right, might be wrong):

    As I noted, when I plugged the drive link in, the whole thing went bang. On reflection, I possibly suspect that the draw through the RX with the two TZ85As and the FeatherTwo plugged in was too much for the receiver. Will go back to the car now and get the receiver for Shu! (The receiver for Osu isn't suitable), see if the drive is still functional and go from there.

    Looking at 5he picture it seems you may have wired the controller the wrong way round. The black wire from battery goes to the white wire which then goes into the red wire of the controller.
    Looks like the colour change in the link connector has confused you thinking it was the black lead.
