thanks a lot, I have tried switching and swapping over the motor it's on and the channel on the receiver and I still get the same problem. the battery is fully charged. it might be due to the calibration of the ESC. plus I have removed the casing from the receiver and covered it in masking tape to save weight ^-^. I'll have a proper look at the calibration stuff to see but yeah IDK what it is at the moment :P but it's definitely a problem with the ESC

I notice you had screw terminals in one of your photos. Maybe the power wires are not in fully. Perhaps try to restrip the wires and put them back in, maybe soldering together with others if possible.

That's looking pretty dangerous, it'll be good to see what it can do it at the aws.
