Problems with esc's

[droneage]

I am having some problems with my Q500 . All the motors are spinning the right way but won't take off and the blades are flying off. I had to change the body and a ESC . Did I put the motors in the wrong spots ?

It certainly sounds like you may have gotten them in the wrong positions. To be sure you must connect it to the GUI and do the ESC assignments. Make sure the Q is oriented exactly like in the picture in the GUI.

The motors needed to go back in the same locations you removed them from.
If you didn't do that, I would think you most certainly have motors running in revers and would explain why your throwing blades.
Start the drone and feel with your hand for the direction the prop wash is blowing and you'll know right away too.
