Hey everyone,
I am making my first quadcopter and am following FT 210 Quadcopter - BUILD video. I am using LUMENIER 30 AMP BL HELI ESC'S. I was using Betaflight to test out the motors. Just after 20s motors spinning on very low throttle all of the ESCs got really hot. Is this normal since there are no props to cool them. After some more testing something smelled like burning and two of the ESCs died. Could this be that screws are touching the motor windings. I followed the video and using the same size of screws. I've checked the voltage going to the ESC and it's 5V. The is no short between their terminals either. I've already reorder two new ESCs. Can someone please help me solve this problem and have my first drone complete. Thanks!
