i took my stock Zelos 36 out for its 3rd run since I owned it today. First time with 4 revo 3s 5000 mah batteries. Ran great.....until it died in the middle of the lake.....at first it would only go in a left turn until it died completely. I thought I dropped a prop or flexshaft. It slowly drifted to the opposite shore of the lake. After an hour of hiking and traversing two rivers...I finally got it! Got it back to the shop bench and it turns out that both motors are fried! One is completely dead and the other will spin, smoke and freewheel after you let off the throttle. I watched the video of the run and there appears to be no problems...she was running fine....wonder what Horizon Hobby will say about this. Very odd that both motors would go at the same time! On top of that the ESC's no longer beep when you turn them on. They sill flash as normal and illuminate solid green when armed...they just dont beep anymore. I will call tomorrow and see what Horizon sais.
