    Motor or ESC bad??

    Hi guys, I have a Zippkits R4 6s powered rigger. My set up is TP3650 1550kv w/flycolor 150a esc. run 6s 6200mah 120c battery with H7 prop. I was running this past weekend and flipped it landed upside down. I could tell the motor was turning over sporadically with water misting up from prop without me squeezing the trigger. I shut the transmitter off for fail safe and retrieved the boat. I checked for damage. Nothing visibly . Turned receiver on checked steering then squeezed trigger and the motor turned 1/2 turn. unplugged battery. Went home changed out esc plugged battery in squeezed trigger motor made a couple hard rotations and the ESC went up in smoke. My assumption is the motor? New to electrics. And new to any type of diagnosis. Boat has been running great!! Low temps on Battery, Esc and motor. Any idea's? Thanks Ken

    Hi Ken, you are probably right.

    One way you might be able to test the motor is via this method, if you have a multi-meter:

        Did you Pair the new ESC with the radio before you pulled the trigger?
