Need help identifying what's wrong with my 700e

Mate, it's your One way bearing had the same thing happen to mine a month ago, cleaned and regressed all ok.
Mine was overspeeding which then shut the Esc down.

Is this the one way bearing? HN7002 One-way Bearing Set : : Heliproz

And how do I check if the one way bearing is slipping?

[dszabo]

Yep that's the one you need. Or just remove and clean it with break cleaner and regrease.

Hey.

The current limiting values got the be a glitch in the latest firmware, normal would be 120 amps.

On my model I have left current limiting to normal, not insensitive or off and I have not had any shut downs.

If it was the owb, the blades wouldn't spin so freely when landed, if they spin freely forwards and lock and spin motor going backwards then owb fine.

There talking about the one way slipping not locking. If it slips you can auto fine

I have added the logging on the first post on page 1. Thanks

Update: I am checking my logs now and also my settings especially for the CURRENT LIMITING. Looks like the screenshot I posted earlier is not current because it's now showing me Insensitive (180A) on the software after doing a read from ESC.
so maybe it could be the OWB?

yes it is and no need to spend 88bucks for that lolz

oh wow its £45 from align uk!!! Just clean it!

check this video I found on YT, I think I did hear this kind of sound just before your motor went to limp mode...

That looks more like owb is wrong way up??

Hey.

No, the motor will be going the correct direction as if it was driving the rotors. With brushless it makes no difference to drag if it is going forwards or backwards, as there is not physical contact from anything such as the old motor style brushes.

However, the amount of inertia still in the spinning rotor blades will keep the motor spinning nicely. It is only from a stand still that the cogging action becomes a problem.

I've had one-ways lock up and the model keeps flying, it's only when you land that you notice.

It's not so black and white, on mine you could not fault it on the deck. If I was really gentle I could fly a whole pack, soon as I loaded up the head, the owb would slip and overspeed the motor ( you could actually see it happening in the logs.
I just cleaned out with brake cleaner and regressed with the proper owb grease that came with the kit.
Mine took me a week of soding about thank god I didn't spend out on a Esc lol

[muscleflex]

Ok, I took the main gear out just now.. here's the video. What should I be looking for?

[Dave Rand]

Unscrew the top and take out the bearing, on mine it had metal swarf around the inner and outer of the paws.
