That's great you figured it out! This stuff drives me sort of nuts until I find the problem. Just a heads up, the drive cups seem to come loose easily, it's happened to me multiple times, especially after hard tail and nose landings I think. I've had to clean the little grub and rethread lock with blue somewhat often on 6s especially.Hey @Rich Duperbash I found the culprit!
The ESC wire was rubbing against (underneath) the front dog bone. I didn't see it until I pulled everything apart. Just black taped it up really good. Surprised the ESC didn't short out.
Also, the front drive cup was also stripped out, so this could have well been part of the issue as well. Maybe it was the actual issue, but didn't show up until it was warmed up.
Back to the bash I go!
