    Brushless motor has grinding sound when rotating

    Finally found what it was, there was a small piece of metal that was stuck between 2 of the magnets. Once I removed it the bell was moving freely again My question now is would this have caused much internal damage after I forcefully rotated it?

    Just range in particular, not that great with what I currently have. On diversity at 200mw it was only 100m before it started to get fuzzy. I've heard the farvew or realacc triple feed patch antenna are great for longer ranges. I would also like a matching antenna on the googles as with what is...

    Safe to swap connectors on Li-Po batteries?

    So i bought a couple of batteries from hobbyking and didn't realise that they had xt-30 connectors. This doesn't suit my current build which has an xt-60 connector on the power lead. I have a few spare xt-60 connectors lying around, would it be safe to swap these over on the xt-30 batteries...

    Beginner FPV parts and compatibility?

    Awesome thanks, these are nice and reviews saying they are good entry level. The second-panel antenna is definitely a bonus over the cyclops. In terms of compatibility with a camera and VTX, will it work with any?

    Motor and ESC caught fire... help!

    Thanks, I think that's what happened. Just to clear my mind it wouldn't be the fact that I am powering my FC from the ESC via the Black/red/ yellow signal wire? I find it coincidental that this esc that went up in flames was the only of the four that was powering the the FC. Ive seen this as...
