Hi there,
Today I was plugging in my battery (Turnigy 500mah Lipo 3s) and my servo (Tgy 9018 15g). Before I plugged in the battery I plugged in the servo. Just after I plugged in the battery I could smell a electrical burning smell but didn't associate the smell with any of my RC equipment. A few seconds after I plugged the battery in I saw a fire inside the Rx (image below). It was quickly unplugged but still I can see that I won't be able to use it again. What I'm looking for is reasons this could have happened and how to prevent it.
