do you guys use connectors on your esc's?

Never heard of doing that...at what stage in the chain would you put them? pcb to esc I assume...is this just so you can swap them out easily?

yeah i swapped all of the plugs on all the bats as i got the plugs earlier this week. i guess you could say i was waiting for this to happen, so i would swap them all?
atleast i had a spare arm left, now to buy some more spares. also waiting to get new props and bearings

it sounded plural so had to ask, makes since all the batts.

Esc soldered to pcb and even soldered Esc to motors.Not hard to resolder a new esc or motor if needed..

This is my crash I was in atti the hole flight. The ESC plugged into my naza #2 slot is the only one that I haven't clipped the red wire on. Could this be my problem? Should I be looking for a cold solder joint?

doesnt sound like a power issue, as you had power the whole time( and you never heard any esc's reboot. looked kinda like a radio control problem as it started to go away from you towards the end.

I am having control problem with my F550 as well. It wont hold height.

I notice in intelligent mode, it wont cut motor below 10% within 3sec without push power.

I follow everything in manual, calibration Radio, compass, Tx everything centre - trim and in aeroplane mode.

This is show how unstable the vertical control - I try vertical gain using VR from 100% - 250% with no different.

Try turn off Gimbal and Lipo one time and have it work - which power cut off works as well - got 2 flights out of it.

Then I turn on Gimbal and Lipo and test..problem come back and now I turn off Gimbal and Lipo, problem still here.

Any ideas ?

I think it was an ESC failure, I could hear one motor screaming out of phase. That could have come from a bad joint or a short across the motor wires inside the motor.
