I finished making a mod, put an atty on it and pressed the fire switch.......nothing happened =/ however, when i was taking the batteries out, one of the battery clips touched the side of the enclosure and created sparks. Could this simply be a short? Anyone have some ideas of things i should check given that it is making some sort of connection?
Sparks=short?

well, if your battery clip touched the side of the box and it sparked then yes... Thats an issue. insulate the clips or something.
Also We cant tell you anything to check for really with out seeing the mod and a wiring diagram for it. Ive built numerous mosfet parallel and series builds, PWM 2s adn 3s builds and a handful of raptor 120w... Post a pic and perhaps me or someone else can help you out.

Sorry to barge in but can you tell me where I can gather info on building a mod with a li-po batt or any info on li-pos. I'm in the beginning stages of learning more about these and am looking for a 3s at around 2000 mAh. Thank you
Although I'm no expert on this - I will say Insulate the connections via shrink tube or some form of plastic to prevent the battery contacts from touching anything inside the case. Either that or line the inside of the case with a non conducting material.
Could be a shorting inherent to issue with the mod, could be you shorted something pulling the clip, could be stuck fire button. Could be you forgot to remove the atty, could be a bad build. Remove batteries and check mods continuity. This is why you need a good volt/ohm meter, so you can check stuff before installing the batts. then again after installing batts. All before and after pushing fire button and before and after installing atty.
cool. Ive use a couple of his boards. Love his Tiny PWM. one thing you might want to make sure you do, insulate the battery clips. I have had a couple instances where the clip will get pushed open while inserting or removing the batterys and the clip contacts the case.
If you must ask the questions you have, you should not be fooling around with trying to build mods until you have a basic understanding of how and what DC current is, as well as basic processes to insure insulation on all contact points, PCBs and switches.
I hope you learn by reading instead of by mistake.
