motor not working after i replaced esc

[edrum22]

This is my first quad and i had it working perfectly, but after crashing it a few times one of the esc's failed and caught fire. I replaced it with the same esc and recalibrated the esc's, but the motor attached to the esc just fidgets back and forth. I checked all the connections and they are fine.

Sounds like that motor was damaged when the ESC failed, may have broken one coil.

It's often hard to actually figure out what is the cause vs. the symptom. Maybe the ESC failing was the symptom of a motor problem.

How long after you bought your first esc's did you buy your second? It probably is the motor, but that one esc may have a different version of the firmware than your others. Even then I'm not sure if that would cause what you're describing though
