Default FM Control unit hot
My control unit gets very warm after being on just a few min. Is this normal or do I have a bad unit?

The usual reason for this is that the servo's have been plugged in the wrong way, it will tollerate this for a while but to long and it will be damaged.
Normally FM stays cool. How are you powering it, are you shure the voltage is ok.

How high is the voltage getting. I would guess FM is damaged, can you check it useing a reciever battery back, they are cheap and very usefull.
Hobbywing pentium are good ESC's and are not expencive.
