hoffman storm edf problem..?
hey guys this is my first post on here. im a long time rc addict and am active on other forums for my boats.. ok so heres the deal: i have a f-15 from hobby king and bought a storm 70 edf for it, mystery 200 amp esc non-bec, 4's 30c 3300 mah lipo's.. i hooked up a bec and soldered in 4mm leadson the motorand bench tested for motor polarity and at 1/4 throttle the motor sputters and started smoking...? i cant figure out if this is a motor problem or an esc problem? both are brand new and solder joints are superb, the motor to esc wires are 8" and battery leads 4.5 " .the motor starts easy and runs very smooth until 1/4 throttle...im not able tofind support from hoffman and i dont have another esc to diag. and rule out the esc as the problem.. any thoughts??? please help!
