Default Motor problem

I just got my belt CP, tested it and it works

The second time I was just about to fly I had a small nudge of the controller and the CP went nuts on my table.
Lucky I only broke the main gear and feathering shaft

When I did get that fixed and started flying out side I notice the CP would hover for a few seconds then the motor would just cut out?
It would just sit there with no throttle response at all. I tried DC the battery and reconnect, still no luck but when I changed to the other battery it works for a few seconds then the motor shutdown.
Anyone know what’s wrong my ESC or motor

try jiggling the esc where the ring is... sometimes there is a bad solder joint there.

It sounds like an ESC problem of some sort. It could be falsely detecting your battery is at the cut-off point. Like Druss said, it could be a bad solder joint or connection. Make sure all is securely plugged in..

i had the same problem after one of my many crashes.. tried 3 different batteries and the same thing happened.. turns out when my blades ahd there strike it made the motor have a suden stop which then fried my esc.

i put in a new esc and she works fine now.. just make sure to get the same rated esc.. jake.

So its the ESC, what would you recommend as an upgrade for the ESC to replace the old one
