A question was raised in the SV 27 forum that may be of interest to all and certaintly us Newbies who dont have millions of bits to plug and play. Maybe the experts can assist.
When is it the motor or esc?
I currently have a similar problem, Not many of us have spare motors and esc's lying around to check. How do you tell is the motor has gone? I puffed an 180A esc when the shrinkwrap shrunk a bit and the motor wires touched. Swapped it with an Etti 150 HV esc and the 8xl arming was very quiet and the motor turned a couple of times when the trigger is pulled and thats it. Changed to the 9XL and alls good until it too died yesterday as I was bringing it in after a 5 minute run and before the LVC acticated.
In my case im running a second hand 9xl with an Etti 150 hv on 4 s. and 6s. No smoke, batteries ok, std SV prop and prop wash pickup. The motor was hotter than I would like but not to the extent that it should die and become demagnatised.
With fresh batteries the motor dosent arm (that I can hear) but the prop turns a couple of times when the the trigger is pulled and thats it. Could the Speed Controller have become reprogramed when the LVC or BEC became low? or is it the motor thats been running too hot and died? I would have thought that the 150 with cap board should be more than enough and that wasnt even warm.
Are there any guidelines other than swapping parts?
Cheers

so I swap it with one of the cheap Mystery and tested the motor, hopefully it was ok!
