I was flying my phantom and it did a death roll and I tried taking off again and 50 feet away it death rolled again.
I unplugged LiPo and tried again and one motor started sputtering and I am almost certain one ESC gave out.
I tried a few times later and the motor/ESC in question gets a bit warmer then the others so I will likely verify it’s the ESC and order a new one or get a upgrade.
I find it kind of strange that flying along the esc gives out after no prop strikes or flipping upside down and not disarming fast enough.
I have blown ESC before and it’s usually from a prop strike or obstruction but to have a esc go out during flight at 1/2 power has never happened.
It takes this 4n1 and if there’s a beefier one maybe it will hold up longer or I just got a dud?
I haven’t tore stack down but checked wires and soon will try a different motor.
From experience it behaves like a blown ESC but a different motor will verify.
Is there any 16 by 16 4n1 ESC that would be a better choice for phantom or just get original?
