I REMOVED THE 5V AND GROUND FROM THE ESCS ALL EXCEPT ESC #1 TO POWER MY NAZE 32--- THAT ESC IS OVERHEATING - DO YOU KNOW WHY
 
Is it melting the heat shrink? I would just monitor it. Always buy one extra when ordering for just in-case situations in the future.
 
I WATCHED THE VIDEO - IT LEAD ME TO ANOTHER ONE --I MADE A CLASSIC NOOB MISTAKE --DOING SOMETHING YOU SEE OTHER PEOPLE DOING WITHOUT KNOWING WHY----I HAVE EMAX-*LINEAR* 12A ESCS --I WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE THE WIRES ON THE ESCS ---THANK YOU FOR PATIENCE---THIS WAS MY FIRST BUILD MY -FIRST FORUM -FIRST QUESTION ----YOURE THE ONLY ON THAT ANSWERED ---THX

There seems to be a bit of controversy about not using all the grounds.

What ESCs are you using and what is the rating their BECs can supply? Maybe it's just a matter of the BEC being pushed past it's limit.

An inexpensive UBEC may be a solution, effectively by passing the ESC completely.

OK -SO YOURE SUGGESTING THAT I -JUST USE ONLY THE SIGNAL WIRES FROM THE ESCS -THEN USE THE UBEC TO POWER THE BOARD -
 
GLAD YOU GOT IT FIGURED OUT, BUT NO NEED TO YELL. (JOKING) I had the same problem as I followed the instructions of some guys who really seemed to know what they were talking about (Fearless360 was one) about only using the signal wire only. My Luminier ESCs came with instructions the strictly stated that grounds MUST be used on all of them. Guess you can't believe everything you read on the interweb!
