Burning up motors! What gives?
I have a Tower Pro Mag-8 18 amp ESC and put a 2409-12 motor on it. The motor burnt up after a few seconds. I figured bad motor. Replaced it and same thing again! Could the ESC be doing this? The specs on the motor says it should be able to handle more than the ESC will put out. 25 I think was the motor capacity and the ESC only supposed to put out 18. I was useing a 1100 Mah 3S lipo and had the thing set right. Any suggestions?
