Hey everyone!!
So I built my own quadcopter with the instructions from the UAVfutures guy on Youtube.
Anyways, it has worked really well so far, but today, I finally hooked up the actual FPV components and gave it a whirl with the goggles on for the first time.
So while I am not 100% sure what happened (because I had the FPV goggles on) I, at a low speed and altitude crashed into a bush in my backyard. Now I am having motor difficulties. Basically, it spins at low speed, but once more power is applied, it craps out. So maybe it's an ESC issue and maybe it's a motor issue - they are Racestar motors. Here is a video of the issue:
If anyone can watch the video and let me know your opinion that would be awesome!!!
Also - if it is a motor issue is there anyway to take it apart and fix it or am I better off simply buying a new one?
Thank you for everyone's time!
