I have a frightening problem with my TSDZ2. As soon as I connect the battery, the controller starts smoking and sparking. It wasn't always this way. I opened up the motor to replace the blue gear with a brass one, but I had problems when I put it back together and tested it out.
First I noticed I wasn't getting any power, when I test rode it my display was reading anywhere from 0 to 20 watts of motor power. I took it apart and put it back together again to make sure I didn't mess anything up on reassembly. Everything looked fine overall. I have one issue where the blue phase wire connection on the motor is not super tight because the nut is stripped. It's still connected though, just not tight. I don't think this is the problem because the sparking and smoking is not coming from that connection. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that.
I tried running the motor before putting the cover back on and noticed that when I would give the motor any power (using walk mode), the controller would spark and smoke. Now as soon as I connect the battery and turn it on I get sparking and smoking.
The only possibility I can think of is maybe I ruined a connection somewhere during dis/re-assembly. I definitely need a new controller now, but I wonder if I need anything else.
Anyone have any idea what may have happened and how I might be able to fix it?
