Hi and Merry Christmas!
I'm looking for some help with an issue I've been dealing with for a while now. I'm flying an armattan chameleon with all armattan stuff, armattan velvet motors and 30a escs and spracing f4s board. I've been encountering this problem where occasionally after a crash I start having motor issues. It doesn't matter if the crash was bad or seemingly harmless. afterward I go to take off and one of the 4 motors will fail, more specifically one motor will seem to stop on throttle increases. Hovering is no problem, I could hover in place til the battery dies and nothing would happen. Its as soon as I give it any kind of throttle that it will flip. The ONLY thing I have found to solve it is to replace the motor (or sometimes its the esc). Armattan assures me the motors are solid so I think its something I have setup wrong. The only non-stock thing I have done is to add soft mounts so I have used screws that are slightly longer. The screws do not make contact with the stator, I have checked and rechecked that....however they are a little closer than the stock screws. Is it possible that during a crash the screws are causing a short that damages electronics? Or could it be something with calibrating esc's? I'm at such a loss with this and it keeps happening I've gone through 6 motors and 2 esc's with this situation. Any thoughts? Thank you !
