To be able to help u correctly can I please got some more information?

What brand and type of car do u have? stock size wheels?
radio gear?
what gearing is it running?
whats the specs on the batteries (ie volts, mah and C)

and just to confirm
U have a "ripper" motor that's the 74mm 2000kv and with that its smoked a hobbywing ESC and a turnigy trackstar ESC
then using a 180 turnigy boat esc it smoked the receiver.

When did the first ESC smoke... after driving for a bit or straight away?

man that sucks I feel ur pain.

im thinking that u might had a dead short somewhere. were the reciver and servo working before?
because if they had a short they would of caused the ESC's BEC to fry

how confident are u that it was all connected correctly??? ive seen it all on here lately.... one guy plugged the balance plug into his receiver...
