I spend my last day to build Trex 600 ESP to do a AP business at weekend. I set the ESC to 1-2-2-2-1, then try to spool up. It just oscillated the motor a few times and produced smoke..

I was thinking the tellers did something wrong, but saw that they are right.. It's a crap..

Sorry you fell pray to the curse of the "Firestarter", hope there isn't much damage.

Funny guys.. Nice point of view.. :)

I opened another thread.. I was using 6S and planning to go 12S so I bought CC85HV, which also burned :) and I opened it, and saw that it was the same reason..

There are other hobbies out there, like stamp collecting. (less fires) ;)

Are these things burning up due to poorly soldered connections or what? I hear a lot of stories of these things smoking at first spoolup. You'd think months of hard flying and overheating would cause it to go bad, but I don't hear many stories of them dying this way.
