I did a shell swap the other day and now my left green arm is flashing along with a hesitation in the motor that matches the blinking. I am thinking it is a bad esc. But what makes an esc bad? Everything looks good on it. Everything is plugged in. Havent crashed recently I would rather not buy a new one if I can fix it. Any suggestions? Could I be wrong about it being the esc?
 
Check the electrical connections from the motor to the ESC to make sure there is not a loose or broken connection. Gently move them around while inspecting the connection and any movement.
 
No luck with that. I do have a frayed wire on my board im not sure what it goes too. Not a motor
 
Can you take and post a photo of the wire and area its at?

The brown wire coming from naza X1 is frayed but still connected to the black board. Not sure if that would make the motor or esc malfunction. I was assuming it was the radio because of the radio leads coming out of it and going down the legs.
 
I put a little bit of glue on it just to keep it from shorting or getting frayed further
 
Any luck resolving the problem? I'm curious what the issue is/was.

Thanks
 
Yep! Got it fixed. My esc just went bad I guess. Weird because I didnt crash it recently. Maybe I mishandled it when I was transferring the components from one shell to another. But I got another one online for like $20, soldered it on, and shes good as new. I have a new peoblem now though.. my antenna on my RC broke off......

Good to hear you fixed the problem but... OUCH, now a broken antenna on the RC. Bummer.
I don't know how to fix that or I would share what I know.
