Hi ticedoff8,

hah, hah, yeah thanks again for your great advice . The key hard lesson in this experience is to dispose of a damaged ESC or motor ... to avoid it’s damage propagation.

Hah, fortunately the banana, taco and pug LiPo’s haven’t been experienced but gradual swelling has been had. After the swelling grows a bit they get discharged and disposed of but some folks keep them until they are super-swollen (looking like sausages!). The Taco, Banana and Pug must be pretty amazing

Better safe than sorry applies to the LiPo’s, ... ESC and motor too .

Cheers,
Dave
