G+_Omega Nine Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Cap on echine 250 racer exploded mid air. Thought someone shot it out of the sky at first. Body survived the fall quite well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thats a new one. They usually vent out the top, like there designed. Ahh, quality control. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Omega Nine Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yeah, was not even punching it hard. Just exploded (loudly) then went out on control in a spin. When I cut power its flipped a few times before hitting the ground, seems to be only damage. Might just replace all the caps on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andy Z Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 My E250 hit a pole and I cracked my motherboard Eachine does not sell them so it made my 250 useless So now I have spare parts for my new E250 And I used the motors to build a cheap 250 that actually flys better than the E250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Omega Nine Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yeah I just liked the fact it was light as hell because the bottom board was a circuit board. No matter how hard I try my cabled are a mess and weigh too darn much. FYI the flight controller in the E250 is a CC3D and can be purchased on amazon for like 17 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/Dshot%C2%AE-Openpilot-Source-Controller-Processor/dp/B00NUXH0JI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian “Yikesfpv” Gipe Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Capacitor? Part of the PDB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Omega Nine Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Not sure what a PDB is (Program Database to me) but the bottom half of the main body is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). It has four capacitors (one for each ESC) soldered to it. I am guessing it was poorly soldered and a leg came free causing it to overload in the air. I picked up another bottom part, after waiting like 5 days for a response to the RMA I just gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian “Yikesfpv” Gipe Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Oh sorry. I was thinking power distribution board. Hope you were able to salvage some parts. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
