    faulty motor or esc's how do I teat.

    Thanks for your reply, I am building the copter from a kit. What I did was to exchange channels, I put no 3 motor (the suspect one) into no 4 position on the flight controller. I hope I am not wrong but I think one of the motors (no. 3 the suspect motor) may have developed a short and taken...

    motors run on arm

    I read that it's normal for the motors to run slow when armed with V3.2.1 So there was nothing wrong. Seems like a good idea.

    I found V3.2.1 and downloaded and installed it. Set up the board again. I calibrated the esc's one at a time with the receiver, they run great as expected via receiver. Connect the esc's to the APM and run the motors. They run as described in my first post. When I armed the board the motors...

    motors run on arm

    Thank you for your reply, I thought I did that, I calibrated the esc's manually one at a time and when they run they sound like they are all running at the same speed.
