Fuck, this is 4th dead ESC on this #eskate. Never buying anything from #Meepo or w/ LingYi ESC again. Love my v3 but it eats like 1 esc per 1000km, very uneconomical.

Weird thing is this time it died some time after a ride while not in use. And the motors are braking, had no idea this is possible by just shorting the phases or what. Pic possibly failure-related?

That's weird behavior. Do I understand correctly that the part that is broken is actually motor controller? Have you checked actual motor and it's wiring?

I'm continously reinsulating my #eScooter cables as their insulation is breaking all the time

@schmaker haven't looked into the motors yet, so can't rule it out. When motors are disconnected from the controller they can spin freely, when i connect it (no power) then they do like 1/8 revolution instead of full one when spun by hand.

Wanted to re-check if the controller powers on but the battery connector evaporated, I guess if it wasn't dead before now it is ...

One more thing - when the motor is not spinning freely, then one of coils is definitely shorted in the ECS.

You can easily try by shorting motor power cables together without voltage applied, if it acts the same
