I did the unthinkable to fly in my neighbourhood. I did not see some power lines and got tangled in them. Broke one prop. and one motor on the restart smoked a little before it started to rotate. When full throttle is enabled that one motor does not spin as fast as the other three. I removed the pod to investigate, and found two "International Rectifier 8736 Mosfets burnt on both sides of the board. These are not readily available, so I may have to replace that entire pod. Where can I get one to buy? Or does any one know where the it's mentioned above can be purchased.20180808_175344.jpeg20180808_175225.jpeg
 
The consensus is to replace the entire ESC if this happens. Could be other components damaged during the event. Not to be trusted.

Ebay or post a WTB here on the forum in the classifieds. I'm fairly certain someone has one or two they would let go.

If you're determined to repair....not sure these are an exact match, you'll need to confirm... I'm a rebel, I'd try to repair....;)
