Thanks for the video Lee

Thank you so much

Thanks very much

Is it safe to shorten the esc wires that connect to the battery?
If not is it possible to fix it through software?

[@Painless360]

Yes you can. Best of luck

After I have been watching this video tens of times I got to ask about my ESC - I have four “Alien” 500A 28s sport2 Air72 MOSFET ESC HV ,how hard is to calibrate them ? My supplier told me they have been calibrated at the factory - I checked ( 1000 / 2000) what will be the procedure please ?

[@Painless360]

I can't see if they support a digital protocol from the look I've just had, so the process should be the same as shown. I'd contect the seller for advice too, that isn't a cheap item... Best of luck

[@George25]

One motor out of four on my Quadcopter spins very slow and I got this warning on my RC “ Potential Thrust Loss(4) “ any help or suggestions please ?

[@Painless360]

It could be a few things. Most hardware. What troubleshooting have you already done?

[@George25]

@@Painless360 change batteries is the only thing I have done .

[@Painless360]

That won't help. Has it ever worked the same as the other motors? Check out my setup videos....

[@George25]

@@Painless360 it did work before , now if I start doing the calibration by myself ,the values you mention in your video will be the same for any ESC’s and motors or only for those shown in the video .i intend to learn it right so it will take me a while . Thank you for answering my silly questions! I bought all my equipment from “ 3DXR” and “ Alien Power System “ your country ( I’m in Canberra- Australia)

[@Painless360]

If it worked, and you didnt change anything, then it's either a loose cable or a failure...

[@thinbluelinelife]

I really appreciate watching your videos, but I prefer your videos.

[@syahrialrasyid2539]

Is that a 50A ESC?

@@Painless360 mate, thanks for the answer, but i've got one more. When i set the ESC_CALIBRATION parameter to 3, the next time it is powered, there is no sign of it entering calibration mode, it's just booting up like usual. What would be the cause of this?
