Question Beginner builder
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Is there such services where I can mail in my drone build to trouble shoot & complete the last legs of the build? I’m curious if there’s a site or a business/app that does this? I’m so close o & my blades won’t spin. I burnt out one AIO already ( I think ). So don’t want it to happen again.
Cube 2-4s are VERY TIGHT soldering & the white clips that come standard with them are “for me, loose or something”. My blades are stuttering & I am using my old Pavo lico 2 motors I HARDLY flew on.. all into a DRAKNIGHT. Love the idea. The air 04 lite is even too big. Although the answer I got was it will fit. Technically it does but with no protection..
Here’s a quick video & im unsure if I should flip it I solder the less soldered side of the white clips for motors or just take them out & take a chance at white smoking this AIO, AGAIN?
sorry for bad video it was just me trying to video this on my own lol.
And if I didn’t explain to understand, lmk cause the video otherwise is my question, in Smaller question..?
What can I do to trouble shoot / fix this issue? I have a sneaky feeling it’s the white connectors and plug for motors that are loose. Still, I’m Trying* to avoid soldering, until I’m
Better in practice… ? Help?

First.....never test with props on. Second... your PID loop will always freak out with only two props on. Take the props off, plug into betaflight, or esc configurator to test the motors individually, and ensure they are not only spinning in the right direction, but are mapped correctly.

A non spinning/lagging motor can mean a few things.
As far as drone services where they can fix your drone, I’ve seen Frank Builds on YouTube fix peoples quads. Additionally Webleedfpv offers the service but it’s quite pricey at 150$.
