Upon inspection the esc is smoked, smells horrible..also the engine does not turn like it used to...
what is your gearing? by the sound of it, i'm guessing way too high.

it sounds like the 2nd time was your fault and the motor overheated, causing the esc to let go. the 1st time just sounds unlucky


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
