This video shows how to build a current-limiting device out of an automotive tail-light. This is also known as a "smoke stopper". This device will prevent you from destroying your ESC or motor if you accidentally have a short, or if you load the wrong firmware onto your ESC by accident. It will also allow you to safely work on the copter without removing the props. Never work on your copter without one of these devices handy!
