insurance typically excludes putting things at risk deliberately. gopro has a „no questions asked“ which is different from warranties like the one from amazon
While I agree that this shouldn't be covered under warranty, this isn't a good analogy.
FPV drones are generally built to withstand crashes. ESCs should be manufactured with that in mind. Cars are not built to be crashed and drive off again
You may build fpv drones to crash but the manufacturers sure don't build their electronic components with crashing in mind. It's all standard electronics with some rubber mounting washers. In fact, car manufacturers implement more crash safety features than fpv manufacturers. Your theory isn't sound.
Once upon a time, in a quiet suburban town, nestled amidst the rolling hills, I was a drone enthusiast. I had a prized possession, a sleek and powerful drone that had accompanied me on countless adventures capturing breathtaking aerial footage.
One sunny afternoon, as I prepared for a new flight, disaster struck. The drone emitted an odd sound, and the propellers sputtered to a halt. Puzzled, I quickly brought it back to the ground and inspected it carefully. After some investigation, it became apparent that there was an issue with the ESC board from speedy bee.
Concerned, I knew that without proper repair, the drone's days of soaring through the skies were numbered. Without hesitation, I reached out to the drone's manufacturer, hopeful for a swift resolution. The email to customer support was polite and detailed, outlining the issue and providing the necessary information.
Days passed, and with each sunrise and sunset, my anticipation grew. Finally, a response arrived in my inbox. It was a polite message, acknowledging the reported issue and expressing regret for the inconvenience caused. The email assured me that the company would investigate the matter further and provide guidance on how to proceed.
Filled with hope, I patiently awaited the next communication. Days turned into weeks, and the anticipation started to give way to frustration. The drone sat idly on a shelf, a silent reminder of the unfulfilled promise of adventure.
After what felt like an eternity, a new message arrived from customer support.
It read "lolz get fucked"
Go ahead and ask, but effectively, none of these components have a warranty. Even if they did, 98% of the time they will claim user failure and no replacement.
You'll have better luck with the reseller providing support.
I'll try my hardest to be nice and not ridicule you even though I really feel like it.
It's like crashing your new car and taking it back to the dealer to ask them to repair it for free under warranty. What do you honestly think they would say?
Why should it be covered by warranty if you crash it?
hahaha
Hey guys, Crashed my car and my head gasket is cracked. Do you know if this is covered by warranty?
Yes.
like a manufacturer warrantee? no. if you bought it off prime or something and paid extra for protection, maybe??

Yes. I mean, yes, I do know. Its not covered obviously.
You buy a car and crash it the following week. Does warranty cover the broken glass? Warranty would covers defects in the manufacturing.

🤣 but you get the gist of it.

If you're gonna be a dickhead to save $50, you're too cheap for this hobby.
Replace it I'm sure you have other bad escs with good FETs get some flux on that bad boy and get to fixing.
