Hi , i have been thinking for a while about getting a fpv racing drone so decided to go the cheaper route and get one to fix up , i got a Black Widow Drone ,Cyclops Goggles And Turningy Controller for not a bad price (i think) which " just needs an esc to get it flying" .
The esc is badly burned but i cannot see any identifying markings on the board to get a replacement , the motor windings look like they have got a bit hot so i guess that will need replacing too..
see pics .. photos
Any advice on repairing this would be appreciated .
I have set up for electronic repair , (phones mainly) ..
 
It's hard to say without knowing exactly how many amps the motor draws but I'd bet the racerstar 35amp single esc would work.
 
You could probably just change out the one burnt esc however I'd recommend changing them all to avoid future problems.
 
Hi Dugdog47 said it right I would change all 4 you then get some nice ESCs which will make the quad fly better , if one is burnt out normally mean throttle was on after the crash and the motor was jammed check the motor as well , last year my goblin 630 hit the dirt the ESC went up in flames the motor looked ok and run till this weekend when it failed this motor is £300 so strip all the motor and clean them and check the windings

Ok , i will change all 4 , would the racerstar 35amp Dugdog47 suggested allow for possible motor upgrade in the future too ? . also the motor of the burnt esc looks like the windings have got a bit hot , there is a photo in the pics i linked in the first post ( the last one) .
i am a bit paranoid with motors as i crashed my mavic pro badly due to a rear motor failing , i ignored it getting hot . :eek: ....
