Default RE: Motor problems on Zagi

ORIGINAL: VERTICAL Hobby

Have you checked the connections between the battery and the ESC ? Loose connections might cause a lot of resistance and therefore voltage drop. Also have you checked the battery voltage ? It just might have one or more dead cells.
There dont seem to be any loose conections...And the same thing happens with all 4 of the batteries so I dont think its a battery problem.

I just thought...the motor wasnt broken in before it was fixed to the plane...I had never heard of breaking in an electric until just last week. The problem with the Zagi started months ago and breaking in the motor didnt even cross my mind. Now, to REALLY show how little I know about electrics, is this even a problem? I've heard from some people that its absolutley necessary to break them in, while Ive heard from other people that it makes no difference.
