Electric RC Help
Hey guys I could really use your help on a recent issue with my GP Electrifly.
I had it all set up and it was flying great. I was hoping it would fly longer than 6 minutes. I used all recommended equipment in the manual. So I bought a different LiPo pack and a series of problems started. The motor will not run anymore. So I replaced the ESC and no change. I bought another motor and it works sporadically. So I have bought two more ESCs and same thing. I took the motor apart to see if the magnets were loose. Everything was intact. I did have to clamp down the motor to get the screws out: could I have messed up something in the motor that would reflect my symptoms? Otherwise could it be the receiver?
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I have seen other planes crash and start acting like mine. Mine hasn't crashed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to eliminate frustration.
Thanks guys

RE: Electric RC Help
Can you describe what motor, ESC and battery combo you were using that worked? What battery did you use when it quit working? What motor and ESC did you use for replacements? Any pictures?
