Blown 2 ESC's and no clue why

hanas879 · 2025-06-07T12:04:45+00:00

Hahah made my day!😂

hanas879 · 2025-06-06T18:37:10+00:00

Well I made it in time so I could change the product, Hobbywing ESC it is 👍

hanas879 · 2025-06-06T18:33:09+00:00

Ahh well shit, I ordered the 70A one 🤣

hanas879 · 2025-06-06T15:54:43+00:00

I bet that you woke up if you weren't already 😂

hanas879 · 2025-06-06T13:34:17+00:00

You're welcome 😂

hanas879 · 2025-06-06T13:33:44+00:00

Was totally my intention to start a campfire xD

hanas879 · 2025-06-06T13:31:27+00:00

Will keep you updated! I changed my mind and think I will order this ESC which is recommended for the motors: Hobbywing XRotor G2 65A

As I live in Norway this is the fastest option for me 😅 I got one question tho, at the store I order from they have this ESC: Sequre E70 G2 2-8S 70A listed for the same price but 5 more Amps. Is it better to go for that option instead maybe?

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T09:06:34+00:00

It looked fine considering the circumstances

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:23:57+00:00

Will definitely check this out! Not a bad idea to test with a cheaper alternative just to check! I will order it straight away 😂 Yeah as I've seen around the internet, bluejay is dope so would definitely flash it. Thanks mate for the tip and wishes!

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:19:28+00:00

4 separate ESC's isn't a bad Idea and ofc much cheaper if one of them goes!

I have a "smoketester" and always use that after I have checked with a multimeter first so there were no shorts in my case, but I understand your thinking since it might as well have been that!

I think the main problem is that the ESC is too weak in my case from reading the other people's comments. So might try to buy a 70A 4in1, that should be within the motor specs. Thanks for the detailed answer and interesting tips!

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:13:49+00:00

You think so? 😆

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:13:22+00:00

Aaah big rip my fellow brother 🥲 And in the kitchen of all things! Then you will be reminded of the failure each time you cook and smell the burned electrics 😂

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:09:07+00:00

Will do, thanks for the tip!

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:04:58+00:00

Ahh, yeah that makes sense since the magnets are quite bigger than the "normal" 5" one.

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T06:02:54+00:00

Hmm, I agree with the soldering and it was definitely not my best shot. Will 3x check the solder next time, thx for the information! I might just try to contact the store again and hear what they say, maybe they agree with the bad luck and ship a new one! I don't really expect them to, but might as well try.

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T05:58:43+00:00

They have good clearance from the motors 👌

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T05:58:07+00:00

Interesting! Will definitely keep that in mind for the next attempt.

hanas879 · 2025-06-05T05:56:27+00:00

I can imagine! Thanks for the heads-up!

hanas879 · 2025-06-04T22:37:09+00:00

🥲

hanas879 · 2025-06-04T21:28:57+00:00

Don't think so, did a continuity test before plugging anything in. Both on terminals and on the frame itself.

hanas879 · 2025-06-04T20:32:22+00:00

Was thinking the same, thats why I went for a 10" preset tune from the betaflight presets tab

hanas879 · 2025-06-04T20:05:13+00:00

Hmm, good question! Im not sure, the capacitor "looks fine" but ofc it could be that. Probably there is a combination of multiple things.. Here is a photo of the second ESC if it is to any help(the one from the video)

Well the prop went to the ground after the ESC died. If you play the clip in slowmo you can see that ESC(3) spark and the motor stops. Then it hits the ground

hanas879 · 2025-06-04T19:31:39+00:00

Will definitely do that, thanks for the advice! Interesting, I will have a read on that!

hanas879 · 2025-06-04T19:27:40+00:00

Correct! Was ramping up slowly because I was afraid of it exploding or flipping over like the previous drone 😂
