Just my two penny bit - Wouldn't you rather mount the ESC's out on the arms so that the passing air can keep them cool? You are enclosing them inside the box and they may get excessively warm - especially since there are 6 of them..........

"If it's man-made and it flies, it will crash."



well. thats true but it wont get too hot. the battery will be placed at the bottom.
and about the canopy, it would be well ventilated.
My motors take only 15A max and the ESCs are 25A. so no chance on burning them hot.
Also, I plan to keep it safe, the circuit and the ESCs safe because I have seen bad crash videos.
so everything must be clean and safe.

I will soon upgrade to mid end motors from rctimer and 4S for better stability.

Still waiting for my stuff to arrive from the customs. Sad

okay.
Unfortunately one motor is super hot than others and its making crack sounds when I increase the throttle, is it normal or the motor is bad?

Bearings shot, I guess.. Can you elaborate a bit more on the problem?

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,

That form ever follows function. This is the law.

I check and tested placing the motor on another ESC and it works on that.
So ESC in damaged.

I even saw and smelled some smoke before maiden and this problem so most probably thats the issue.

Can it be repaired?
