Sounds like the motors are on their way out. I smoked a 35t integy on my moalosi to the point that it couldnt be repaired. Try having the com cut, and replace the brushes, or step up to a higher quality motor, (thats what I had to end up doing).

Its possible you started to burn the windings on the motors.....worn out brushes or the comm needing a cut, rarely cause a burnt smell.

Inspect the armature for any burn marks or discoloring on the windings.....if the arm has a burned smell to it, its probably toast. It will still run for a while, maybe even forever, but it will never be at 100% again.
