the 2 back motors (3 and 4) work fine, so im thinking its something with the physical wiring
charred eagle
have you tried cleaning them out?
dreamy oasis
i think its something else
because it makes a beep
stops
then when i turn the slider down
beeps again

if the ESC can't properly start the motor up, it may shut down like that
dreamy oasis
it twitches
so like the motor will spin, but not correctly
it sort of does a few twitching spins
stops
something beeps
then when i turn the slider down, beeps again
posting a video now to show whats going on
charred eagle
yeah... clean it up. If it doesn't help, try raising the startup power in the ESC settings

@charred eagle check this see what you think
dreamy oasis
@charred eagle can you check this please

Swap that rear motor onto that front ESC output and see if it's making that motor twitch too. If it's fine then replace bad motor. If it's bad then replace bad ESC. If you have any stray wires in your solder or motor screws touching the windings under the motor bell then you can also expect the ESC to get upset like this

Fixed the motor by redoing the wiring, some wires on the esc were loose but it’s working now

@cerulean geyser
The drone isn’t lifting
When I increase thrust it just starts spinning or shaking uncontrollably
@charred eagle @pine yarrow if you guys wanna check it out

Uhh I'm not sure why I was tagged. I haven't been active here in a while. Maybe you were looking for someone else
dreamy oasis
@grave vine meant to tag him sorry
dreamy oasis
if you like your friend intact, don't do that ever again
I’ve checked my motor and propellor directions several times now it seems to be good
But there’s still no takeoff
charred eagle
get a photo of it

have you checked board orientation?
grave vine
are the motors physically spinning the way you expect "props-out" -- watch the posted video, go though everything.
possible: board orientation
more likely: a single motor-direction.
less likely: if a motor/ESC is not spinning to capacity, then it might be hardware issue.
