Do any of you have any idea what is wrong with this motor? Or is it the ESC? Thanks for your help!

  • mine did the same thing and the esc was new.  i found out the middle wire on the esc was not soldered on good. i resoldered the connector and it's been working well, till i crashed the plane. not sure how it's working because the wires didn't look good. i'll just buy another one.

  • @boywaimea hey thanks for the tip. good comment!

  • Hey thanks everyone for the comments it was a huge help! I learned alot of stuff about motor repair and rewinding. I was even looking at the winding kits. Can't thank you enough for your help!

  • sry cant help. the motor sound weird.

    my suggestion

    bring the motor to the hobby shop

    let them test the motor.

  • yea whenever ive seen this happen people have always said it was a timing issue. u may either have to reprogram or get a new esc that has the right timing for the motor

see all

  • Hey Dave sounds like a bad motor. Water may have eventually corroded the inside of this. Try a different motor with that esc to see if the esc is bad. Same with the battery try a different one and narrow the problem down.

    Happy flying

  • i think you should change the motor because i think that you burnt the brushesses of the motor

  • Check your connections , and then make sure its a good battery. I would run it very long like that very long.

    May need to program ESC

  • maybe the leads of the esc need to be switched

  • i would say lack of power maybe you have a bad battery this happens to me with my cars the motor will make that sound
