Like the title says how should a discharge a speed controller/ the capacitors safely? Shoving something metal between the battery wires has been my standard practice. While the big pop is fun knew it was probably hard on stuff and just killed a ESC doing so. Yet to open it up and see what is cooked but curious on what others are doing? A high watt/ resistance resistor instead if the screw driver? Thanks for the input.
