Yes, I agree. Only reason I was saying the arm might have snapped is because, the day before this flight I had the props on wrong. And tried to take off and the quad flipped over to that side, and landed, what I thought was sorta hard. Perhaps that flip on that arm might have weakened it or it...

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I guess it if the ESC was bad it would work at all? ....and same for the motor.

Yeah sounds really strange. I think my motors and ESC's are fine. I'm going to rebuild it and test it, I'd be willing to bet its fine. I'm thinking the arm was just weak and snapped under load and caused the crash. Everything else seems fine, to me anyways... But I still would like to know...

Ok just tested all the motors and ESC's like showed in the video posted above. And all of them seem to be fine. Spin fine start up and stop fine, no weird noises or stops. All "beep" correctly as well when powered up. So what are the signs of a bad ESC? what should it do or not do, any tell...

I will test the motor and ESC with my little blue servo tester and see what happens, just curious mainly. something like this test - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBpjKXThQa0

XA looked at it and told me they think that motor #4 died. I know that stuff happens, but just seemed odd to me seeing that the motor was very new and the ESC as well was new, maybe both had been flown on a total of 10 packs. I plan to replace motor 4 and the #4 ESC, then rebuild and test...

This is what I use for my custom filter :D

I have tried and no it does not work and yes it will throw off the gimbal.

very true, I'll check it out. Thanks

I'll check but its just the stock T-Motor for the X650 Pro . It doesnt have much fly time on it, maybe an hour, so if it was the motor that's even more surprising.

Yeah you may be right about the ESC. XA seems to think that motor #4 died and caused it to crash. Seeing it shot up to 99%. Good thing it happened 3ft off the ground and not 100ft high, over over someone's property. I think I'll replace the ESC and motor #4 then rebuild.

I was flying around the other day, stopped to hoover 3 ft off the ground and all of a sudden the quad just flipped over to the right and crashed in the grass. Broke the #1 arm on the inside of the quad where it connects to the frame. See the Blackbox log here -...

So does the SX work on the TBS Disco?....what has been decided about its compatibility?

I always wanted to try it and see what it would do. I saw that point on the X650 as being the weak spot for transferring vibrations to the lower half of the quad, as per my comments 5 months ago on another thread. I was also inspired by what you did yesterday. I figured now is the time to try...

Small rubber isolators installed under the frame plate attached to load pipe rings to help eliminate vibrations from the top half of the quad. Just trying something different.

I know right, he's a complete jerk everywhere he goes. So many in this forum, and others, think the same thing. Its a pattern.

Completely agree.....again

completely agree..........

Yeah I looked them up after you said that. They look cool. But wow that's a lot of dough :nevreness:
