has anyone received back their replacement ESC's? I've inquired on time to replace and so far (1week later) haven't received a response.

I sent mine to the dealer where I bought the S800 (Europe) as soon as I was informed about the call-back, but last info was that they are expecting the new ESC's within the next days, so I guess another 10 days untill I get them back. I bought my S800 early June...and that thing was never in the air so far. Following the thread about the new firmware for the WKM, I doubt I will ever fly it....nice expensive paperweight.

:dejection: why a paperweight :shame: my S800 with reworked ESCs and 5.10 WKM flies great. I flew it in a heavy wind yesterday and there was no drama. Using the Zemuse/S800 with a single transmitter is a bit heavy on the brain cell...using 14 channels of my Futaba 18MZ :nevreness:

It's like with a girlfriend....you fall deeply in love....she screws up...you try again....she screws up again....eventually you don't trust her anymore...even if someone is happy with her. :black_eyed:
according tio DJI the new esc,s are all send out , we got about 90 arms here open withour esc,s and are all awaiting new ones.

I guess once you get the ESC's in, you gonna spend a few nights without sleep....I send you a pallet with Red Bull and a big red rubber ball which you can throw against the wall in case you get angry :nevreness:

My S800 came directly from DJI and they told me to return the ESC's to a dealer in TX who said the turnaround would be 2-3 days... it's been 4. Was hoping to fly this thing for the first time this weekend since my Z15 arrives tomorrow! Ah well.

I was told yesterday that it would be Tuesday at the latest for the replacement to be complete for arms for those sent to Texas. They had to find a reputable electronics company in Austin to have the replacements done. My replacements are already on their way back as I just sent ESCs.

ah great mine are stuck in customs and they called me already twice that they are not letting them pass through since they don't believe the total price of 40$. They don't understand what it is and can't find a price for it. All argumentation that i am actually getting the parts replaced and the lipo holder it a part that was missing from the initial
shipment don't count. They want a performa invoice but whats the point the parts probably costs DJI less than 40$ etc. annoying !
