anyone else have issues with this motor?
running on their recommended setup, 4S w/ a 5x4.5 prop on a mini-arrow.
first flight was fine, second it lost power but was able to glide back to field, third flew perfect and i was hammering it with speed, today i had an aborted launch (not a big deal) but when i went to re-launch the motor would not spin and you could smell a very distinct blue smoke kinda smell. both the motor and the esc were hot and they had hardly even been spun up. not sure whats up?
gonna send an email to FT customer support and hope that their warranty is all they say it is.
kinda bummed to say the least.
