What the Heck Happened?
In this week's installment of What the Heck Wednesday, we have this rather nice looking electric scale RC helicopter video. You can see the helicopter spooling up nicely and once the rotor gets up to speed, the doors blow off in a violent event that could have been a lot worse than it was.
The heli suffered some body damage and maybe has some mechanical issues to fix, but the real question here is, what the heck went wrong? Comment below with your thoughts about this entertaining rc heli crash.

My guess was resonate vibrations that became undamped, or rather less damped once the skids left the ground

If I had to make a serious guess I'd say some serious main drivetrain mechanical failure, which either through debris out, knocking the doors off, or vibrated them off.
Don't think it was the tail drive belt because the heli didnt spin. There also dint seem to be any sign of vibrations before the doors flew off (the doors came off before the heli lifted). |

Hexbug has mini RC Battlebots, but other than that it sounds like uncharted territory.
