Blade MSR motor stuttering
I have got 20 flights on this MSR, and no major crashes. The motor is sometimes stuttering, if it were a gas engine it would be like a misfire. Is my motor on the way out? I checked for any loose wires. Everything looks tight. I started having this problem after moving the ball links out to the long swash plate control ball. Maybe the motor was run too hot? I let it cool between batteries, but maybe not long enough? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Blade MSR motor stuttering
I've always moved from battery to battery with no problem. This includes flying on aftermarket batteries that would allow for well over 10 minute flights. I'd first guess loose connection. Maybe a signal issue? Perhaps an issue with the 5in1?

RE: Blade MSR motor stuttering
Called HH about the stuttering today. They said it could be the motor 's brushes going out. This msr only has 20 flights, send me a new motor. Nope, the motor is a "wear and tear " item. So now I have to fork out $11 each 20 flights for a crappy motor? not happy
