My first build, with a few questions.

Hi Junkers going by the motor spec on T motors web site running a 4 cell 12x6 prop it pulls 15 amps they run it on a 20 amp ESC but one of theres which will be really good unit
 
Since I'm having problems with my esc's the source of the problem is either the motors or esc's. Correct? If it was something before the esc's I would have a different issue like burnt wires? If its the motors would the warranty still cover it even though I had to shorted the wires coming off the motor?
 
You have to be careful lots of motors have wire a set length as they are part of the windings, I have never heard of a T motor being duff there QC is second to none , I still feel its the cheap ESCs letting you down , I have used some cheap motors in my time but still never had the motor blow the ESC , Had ESCs fails all on there own
 
Going to solder a switch in for the battery. The t connecters are really tight and a pain to remove when things are exploding. Im not going to solder a switch to the copter, just going to create a harness I can use until I know im not going to blow any more esc's.

I ended up just ordering the t motor 25amp esc's. The motors are awesome so I figure the esc's should be as well. only issue is the ones I ordered have bullet connectors soldered to them and I don't think the wires from the motor will reach. And do I need a programmer to set them up? the cheap ones I blew up said they are preconfigured for multirotors.

Well figured out what my issue was. The power distribution board had a open trace and a short. Got everything put together and did a small test flight in the backyard. when I ease in the throttle it looks like she is going to tip over but if a bump it she gets airborn but doesn't remain stationary. She drifts backwards.
