I think he missed the smiley at the end hahaha.

You'll never pull the 30 amps on these motors without burning them up, but get those as they'd support about any motor upgrade you'd get for it, a Turnigy Multistar 5200mAh, 3S1P, 10C-20C.

Hahahaha, that is how it ends up working.

Sounds good, if you are conformable with it you can probably repair the burnt ESC.

The Dominators are good, I'd suggest getting the Fatshark Domv2.

That is somewhat of a common problem. Usually the screw gets in too far and it disrupts the magnetic field, but if they were long enough it would only take one screw to short two phases.

It is one of the most likely parts to burn, bur it sounds like two of your phases were shorted against each other.

Don't waste money on the V1 if you can get the v2 are a lot better if you can find them.

Looks like a great place to fly hahaha.

Feild Effect Transistor, look like this, or often a little more square on ESCs. They convert the DC top 3 Phase AC.

So was it a FET that burned or something else? Can you provide a picture of that and maybe how you have it wired?

I meant on the ESC if that is where the smoke came from.

You might open it up and take a look, something sounds shorted perhaps on the 3 phase AC side.

How are you wiring everything?

I'd suggest you change to 4 separate ESCs :p. What motors and battery are you using? You might be able to repair the ESC, but i'd probably never be able to trust it. There are some 4-in-1 ESCs that are modular, and have pretty good build quality, would you be interested is something like...

Can you provide a link to the motors? It is unlikely that you need the full 30 amp cushion.

I would hope it would look better hahaha, that was a Runcam direct mounted to an aluminium frame with unbalanced props, also the the footage was edited to be in lower quality. It can be improved on greatly by just adding jellos and a proper video export techniques, so the equipment is fine.
