Unless the "noise" was something consistent... Kinda unlikely though.

That failsafe you speak of in ESCs; is that just the arming routine? I know most ESCs look for a valid signal before initially turning on, but I've never known it to be continuous. Interesting.

Whatever the cause, I hope you get it squared away before it descides to do that at FULL throttle!

By the way, did you see what the damage was to the nieghbor's vehicle?
