Well you cannot connect the LiPo's directly to the motors as you did.

The ESC regulates the amount of power going to the motors.

What you did was basically dump the current from the batteries to the motors without anything to regulate the output.

This fried the motors.

The ESC - MUST - be used.

You probably also ruined the LiPo's.

RC power systems are not like toy motors where you can hook things up directly.

At this point you'll have to replace the ESC, Motors and battery, at a minimum.


The review was not misleading at all.

What you did was incorrect.
