        What size prop?
        Also is your CG setup to balance on front edge of turn fin?

        Was anything hot or smelled funny when you brought it in 1st time it quit. I like those big Ettis have 3 of them. 0nly weak link on them is the short length of area battery leads are soldered on to the boards. They come on soldered if your taxing the controller sometimes.

                  That's a good prop, you have the 5S packs in series correct? Check your packs for dead cells and the battery leads at esc board solder joints.

                                I believe the strut was not correct. I did unhook the speed control and rehook it maybe it could have had a loose connection
