seems like you could use standard props and any battery that fits in the compartment at 11.2 volts. Would like to know if anyone has purchased one. Very x8c like but with brushless motors and a barometer for altitude hold.

So what the speed controller does is to take a DC voltage of the input an create an approximation of a 3 phase output on the three wires of the output. These three outputs waveforms are spaced out by 120 degrees. So when applied to the winding's of the motor (3-pole for instance) a rotating...

Swapping any two will give you the same end result.

I ordered my first X8C and it did this right out of the box- actually returned it since i had ordered from Amazon. Got a second one from China - right out of the box one motor would not spin- turned out to be a bad solder on the main board- I could move one of the FETs and it would run find-...

My flight controller would crap out at random times - sometimes mid flight resulting in summersalts to the ground. Some times one motor would not spin on start up and I could poke a finger in the battery compartment and slightly move the affected FET and all would be good for a while...

I have an X8C - out of the box one of the motors was not running- swapped with the opposite one and the issue did not follow the motor. I did not pull it apart but i was able to move one of the power transistor with my fingers. I can go from the motor not running at all - to running without...
