    Possible ESC problem

    I finally finished my ZMR250 build, but I've got a problem with it. It seemed to fly great at first until I started getting a little comfortable with it and I started getting more aggressive.

    MiniQuad ESC Prop Strikes

    Recently I have been noticing slices in the heat shrink around my ESCs, and it's not just one ESC, all of them seem to have been hit in some way.
