Guys,
Had an incident the other day where on take-off the ship hit some deep grass and flopped over, I expected the ESC to cut off on high amps but it kept flopping around trying to spin the prop. It was not at full RPM and did cut but I did see some wisp of white smoke from the motor area just before it shut down. I had this happen on another ship a few years back and it did toast the motor. This motor is a BAD ASS 2320/820k on 4S pack. Since there was nothing hot I decided to do a 10 sec test run just for the hell of it. ESC beeped normal and motor spun up as normal. I then did a quick test flight (gave myself more runway to get the ship off before the grass) and all was well. So, question since all seems well could the motor be OK or is it just going to suddenly fail in flight?
Also, in order to get the shutdown to occur faster I have moved the current cutoff from normal to sensitive, did a test run and it spooled up normal can I go to very sensitive, or would that cause a cut with just a minor clip of grass or the ground?
Best, DennisT
