So guys, it is the ESC compatibility. My DJI OPTOs are not playing well with these NTM motors. Last night, after I exhausted all options, I thought of switching the Opto with a Turnigy ESC i had around. And just like that, it was like blowing new life into the motors. So I put the OPTOs away to...

I replicated the behavior just now - what I did different this time, was to add the resistance (with my finger) before I applied the throttle, and bingo, the motor was practically powerless. It was trying to rotate out, but from the slow idle, I could stop the rotation by just holding it a bit...

No, no back and forth. It just spins smooth at idle speed. The esc compatibility is a possibility, but why would the motors work just great without the props on? I even tried to induce some resistance on the noprop ones by holding my finger against the rotor, but it still spins according to...

Yes, tried full throttle. No response other than idle at wot. So if I do that test with one prop off, then that motor would run full speed, and the three others idle.

First post here guys, so hello!! :tennis: I am using 2 4000mAh 3S in parallel, with a TOW of around 5 lbs, a bit on the heavier side. 30 A OPTO esc, Naza M-v2 mc. Previously, I used the base Turnigy 2830 motor, and it flew pretty decent but the battery drained fast. So looked into eCalc, and...
