so today i had the plesure of seeing my first tri-copter plunge into the ground upside-down, from an altitude off 5 meters. i have flown this tri-copter several times without any trouble. so i would really want to find out what went wrong.
to summarise:
-put down the tri-copter
-plugged the battery in
-went up into the air in stabilize mode
-after 9 seconds the tri-copter rolls left ignoring any input (left motor seemed to speed up massively)
-rolled completely upside-down and plunged into the ground
(due to random luck the electronics seem to be mostly fine if not a bit muddy, the frame snapped into pieces though.)
if you need any more logs just tell me which to upload.
any help is appreciated.

mechanical failure... Motor down, ESC down, Propoller out...

Did you synchronized your ESC ?

yes i did, the drone flew well for the first 10 flights. i think it might have something to do with the firmware of the esc.
i use these esc, i heard there was some sort of unofficial firmware that was way better and would have it fly more stable so i'll try that.
i should also add that the right-front motor actually appeared to speed up at the time.
