Last night I connected the motors for the first time and when I was testing the motors one by one without props, suddenly a grey smoke start coming out of one motor as soon as I move the throttle to full and another one became so hot (untouchable).

Motors should not be run past 50% with no propeller installed they may overheat.
We will still warranty and replace damaged motors. Please use the RMA process.
