    Smelly motor - how dangerous was this?

    Alirz, any electrical component can burn out if it's short-circuited. If you stop a motor from turning, it's almost the same as a short-circuit. If he had throttled up when the prop was blocked, it would absolutely burn out an esc but that's not the case here. Just burnt insulation in the motor.
