Esc & motor problem

[mozquito1]

I recently bought a new standard 30a esc put a motor on it & hooked it up to a speed controller tester & it was fine.
So I put it in my wing & when I went to calibrate it in inav it makes a clicking noise, prop turn a few mm but rocks back & forth. So I tried a new motor & same.
Took esc & motor out & back on the speed controller tester & it's OK I even put the 1st motor back on & both OK again. So I put it all back in the wing only to end up with the same problem.
Now if I throw a 20amp multishot quad esc in with same motor it works as should.
I don't wanna a get all the way to my spot & blow an esc on arrival looks like I'll have to chance it though.
Atleast I'll know if my cheap esc can fly a wing.
Anyone had this problem.

Got to age restrict it to allow comments

Hi I had it a long time back a few things to check if the motor rocks try in a different position see if problem follows the motor and esc if it don't there is a bad joint on that arm , if it does check the timing set up of the esc
Let us know how you get on

What brand esc?

I've tried those cheap escs that come covered in yellow shrink wrap and it'd been hit and miss.
