Look for a small rock or dirt or grass between the fan and housing.

This is pretty normal for small electric DF fans.

You have to "break in" the engine first.

Most DF's require that you run the engine at varying speeds for 5-20 minutes to remove any burrs or flashing from the props.

You can help this process by carefully doing this yourself with a small nail file.

Pulling out the prop and balancing it is also a great idea too.


Cutting out of the ESC indicates that the battery has hit the LVC point or is overheating.
Either it was not charged fully, or you flew too long, or the battery is bad, or the fans are drawing too much current ( least likely ).
