Okay, this was totally my fault.
I received my T-Motor anti-gravity motors yesterday, and thought I would just unsolder the original connections at the
ESC, and re-solder the leads directly from the motors.
Everything was going according to plan, I even wired up my Phantomount X2-wide gimbal with 6v bec, and Installed a
5v bec for powering the GoPro later.
Everything went great, I plugged in the battery, all the LED's blinked, then I armed the motors,3 of them spun perfectly, the right directions and all, but one ESC caught fire :shock: Not a big fire mind you, but one of the little chips was lit up like striking a match.
I guess the mistake I made was running the wire across the little chips, instead of straight up off the board like the original
wires do.
I had such high hopes of getting some air time today.
Oh well, I've learned a lesson today, and that's enough for now.
