That is sound advice. I'm not sure it would have saved my esc though. It was drawing so much current that it vaporized the black wire on the super cheap jst harness that was hooked up to the esc. So then I tried a better wiring harness, but the battery and esc heated up so fast I had to unhook them before I could even start the reflashing process. By the time I thought to try using a 2s battery and putting all of the components on ice packs so they wouldn't burn up when I added power, the damage had already been done and I couldnt get blheli suite to read the esc.
Would a bulb in series limit the current to the point that I could have reflashed the esc, or would it be acting like a fuse just burning out when too much current is drawn? That is where my understanding of electricity starts to break down.
