OK so I wanted to do some test as I have picked up a second hand 500+ with 10 flights on it [emoji15] . Well put it up for a test flight and it flew fine but the hubs were real hot. So below I did a test with my zeal 500 frame and this second hand one. Results are below what are your thoughts, I think I have a motor going bad which would be #3. I think the #1 motor being a tad loose has caused it to start to go south. I used venom batteries and the same props for each unit. I hovered and flew forward flight for 10 minutes no hard flying Zeal

3motor 121 degrees f prop hub 115 degrees f
4motor 109 degrees f prop hub 128 degrees f
Battery venom 6000mah 35% left 111.5 degrees f 11.42 volts left fter 10 minute flight.What's your thoughts on the second machine. I believe without opening it up that I imagine the plastic tabs on the motor are broke which is causing it to move a little. Which makes me wonder if that is causing the number three to work harder and causing premature failure.
