So iv crashed my quadcopter many times, however the last two times have been the exact same but i cant figure out the cause. I suspect its a possible faulty esc. Im using 20A Afro ESC.
Both times i was flying for longer than usual, 10min<. Both times I was flying aggressively during the flight, but was basically hovering when the crash took place. It sounds like the motor or propeller gets caught in something and is trying to spin but cant. Loud aggressive crunching or vibration kind of noise and the quadcopter just drops from the sky rapidly.
I suspect it may be my second esc because it takes longer to calibrate than my other three, which beep and go green at the exact same time every time i plug the lipo in. The suspected faulty one takes around 3 seconds longer of flashing red before it goes green and finally beeps. Sometimes that motor doesnt spin when i first give it some throttle and i have to go back to zero throttle before giving some throttle again to get it to spin with the rest of the motors.
It has never been water damaged but may have taken a beating over a few other crashes iv had where iv broken arms, legs, props etc.
Any help at all is appreciated because i dont want to keep spending money on repairs, or my quad to crash onto people or in water..
Quadcopter: S500, Multistar 2213 935kv, 20A afro esc, 4s 5200Mah lipo, tgy-i6 tx
thanks
