Thanks, got some more things to try today now the wind has gone. I'll arrange to meet you after work sometime if that's ok?

Col - think so. The coils inside turned from nice shiney copper to burnt black. It had done 1 flight (at 3:00am in tesco carpark) without problems. It popped exactly like an ESC does - just started fizzing and smoking. The motor wasn't even running! The KK2 was in safe mode, so no controls from the tx were going to the motors.
Neal - UK warehouse are out of stock and not taking backorders for it. I've ordered 4 more as they're only £6 each + delivery and I needed a few other bits and bobs as well (bits to flash my esc's and update software on the kk2), but the wait is a killer!
I work permanent nights, so am only available (at home) between 14:00 and 21:00 during the week.
