Oh man yes, that funky does not go away. Alright, I'm not risking burning up more stuff. New PBD and some liquid tape are in order. I hate that all these lessons are learned the hard way. :mad:

Long story short - down 4 ESC's (20A little bee's) and a brand new Seriously Dodo. I need your help trying to figure out what caused this. -Before the install- In mid flight, my quad dropped out of the sky. No loss of signal or anything, only thing that was affected seemed to be the ESC's...

I was about to start my own thread from my experience, but here's my list from when I started with a Dromida Vista about 3 months ago to recently finishing building my FPV race quad. 1) Check all nuts and bolts before every flight no matter how excited you are! 2) Get a battery voltage...

I was where you were out about a month ago. So I will probably speak in more layman terms than others haha. John pretty much hit everything on the money. Also, you seem to have a good grasp on the purpose of the parts you will be purchasing, so that's good. If you have a hobby store around...

That's something I have not taken the time to research. I'll have to figure that out. The motors are rated 2-3s, I'll just have to experiment with a 3s battery. At the least, I can hopefully prove to myself I'm not a PID tuning failure. Thanks for your help. Edit : I'm mainly tuning...

I can't get my quad to fly 100% smooth and I'm hoping there is a PID guru around here. I've reset pids and started from scratch a bunch of times, tuning with different methods and still cannot fix this. I can upload an FPV video if somebody thinks this will help. Hovering and casual flying is...

Quad is finally in flying and FPV ready condition. Need to tune it up and after that, I will be looking for more batteries. Keep in mind I just learned these formulas, so apologies if I totally misunderstood how to use them. I currently have to (x2) Pulse 4S, 75C, 1550 mah batteries. If I...

Wow, thank you so much Bartman. You just made my day. Can't wait to finish my build.

The cables were already tinned. Seems like it was a different solder that melts at a higher temp than I am using. I should have probably trimmed them and tinned them myself.

Hey guys, In the middle of my first fpv racing quadcopter build and have a few questions. Many thanks in advance to any help. I've spent literally dozens of hours on youtube and many nights filtering through forums and being told to read stickies to weed out the answers to my questions. I'm...
