Default RE: li-poly with gws system?

well...I burned up my motor AND li-poly... [:@]

I took off and the plane just didn't sound like it had a lotta power. I went into a hover and it started laggin even more. Another five seconds and the plane had like no power at full throttle. When it landed, i held the plane at full throttle and the motor was making weird noises and not turning. Then i looked at the battery and it started smoking. I quickly pulled it off burning my finger a lil. I picked up the battery and the connector was melted away, the shrinkwrap was all melted and so were the cells. I just took the li-po and buried it in sand under a tree. I was not gonna drive with it in the car. The motor was super HOTTT!!

I'm assuming the motor seized up and since i held it full throttle, the motor was pulling way too many amps and killed the battery...

Ill get the battery back sooner or later and get a pic LOL

All u need is literally a 10 sec flight to waste $65
