did i fry something in my 4-in-1 on my BCX?


alright i seem to have a problem. a couple of days ago i was out flying my BCX. i brought her in and held it in my hand and power up the motors. after about a minute my antenna got somewhat sucked into the blade (i have it on the side and the tube fell off) and i stupidly and quickly went to stop the blades by hand. they only stopped for a second maybe less and then i shut the throttle. i shut everything off and brought it inside.

dissassembled and smelled (yes smelled) and checked the 4-in-1 and everything seems fine. one problem or two actually. when i ran a lipo down to where it was near the end of the pack, both servos began to twitch violently and went into full down position with no input from me. also i sort of get these weird jumps and squeaks from my motors and the make a lot of noise now (probably about 30-40 flights on them). could this have been caused from me? everything else works fine and i havent noticed any other major problems. sorry bout the long post but any help would be great.

thanks

Did you break the antennae and what you are experiencing is glitching? Could the antennae have broken inside the insulation?

heligrom you state WHEN THE BATTERY POWER IS LOW and that could very well be the cause.
