Hi everyone,

I'm having similar-ish problems. Ever since my battery puffed over the summer, I haven't been able to get a single successful flight out of my axe. I've got a new battery, esc and motor (all 3 upgraded from what I had before) and they all get ridiculously hot after flying for a couple of minutes. To avoid damaging my new components I avoid flying now. I'm getting a couple of pinons (stepping down) in the mail, but I still doubt that my gearing is the issue because my heli had no problems before my battery incident. I am however using the same connectors and segments of wires that I've had for a whole year. I also did notice that the old wire segments (now soddered to my new wires) do look a bit crispy. Could that be the issue? I haven't tried getting new connectors and getting rid of my used wires because I just don't want to deal with the soddering if I don't have to. I have a feeling that I really should replace those connectors and wires though :-( If anyone ran into this kinda problem and knows the answer for sure, please help me. Thanks!
