cool. i have an account from work, but we dont buy enough chips from one dist. so we dont get the discount. let me look at his esc and see what i see. ill shoot you the part numbers when i work it out.some of the components are stupid tiny and with out the right machine i cant (with out a shit load of work) get it off and solder a new one on. let me take a look tho, hope fully the dude he bought it from just got it too hot and blew a transistor or some larger component.

addicted, i may or may not be able to fix them. novak usally has weak points in the esc to prevent a major prob, but sometimes (usally with newer esc's) the weak point it way too tiny for my sausages to get a hold of! lol i know the prob with mine, i tried a ghetto fix that lasted a few min so im positive i can fix it. tex's boy's esc may bo toast, but we will see!
