There is no connection with the xt60 pads why is it shorting out?

Little issue while soldering but the cells all display 3.7v

Winner prize is to be my drone build QA

Hi everyone, recently I bought myself a first drone - meteor 75 pro, after some time it started to have motor stutters, which I could fix by replugging the motor, but I basically had to do it after every crash. So I decided to solder motors directly to the board.

After soldering the motors directly to the board I don't have stutters anymore, but now when I go above ~20% throttle I can't go back: I can't lower throttle, only increase it, so just flies straight up and crashes. This doesn't happen with pitching though.

As you can see by the picture, this was my first time soldering, so I am just glad that motors spin, but does anyone have any idea what might causing it?

Edit: Thank you all for your help! I'll get a practice board to learn how to properly solder and then try to resolder this AIO.

throw a ratel on this baby and wear some googles and boom fpv airplane !! ✈️

My younger brother made this thing that I just thought looked like a elrs antenna. By the way: he is 6, so I don’t think he knows what al elrs antenna is.
Pretty cool, I think

Yesterday was a huge day:

✅ GPS lock achieved INDOORS (MicoAir M10 is a
beast - 22 sats inside)

✅ Compass fully working (QMC5883P fix)

✅ WiFi dashboard polished (°F/°C toggle, ft/m
toggle, calibration button)

✅ Mobula 8 FC connected and backed up

✅ MSP protocol library written and integrated
into firmware

✅ Firmware sending MSP packets, ready for
physical FC connection

⏳Current status: MSP code is live and sending - just needs the physical UART wires soldered between the nav module and the Mobula 8's FC. That's the next hands-on step for me. Than we can test Position Hold, RTH and a simple Waypoint Mission for starters.

So I hit a tree trunk trying to do a knife edge (rookie mistake) and thought nothing of it, until I heard an unusual very low pitch sound coming from the quad. I thought it was a branch stuck in it but it was flying perfectly fine...

Well I landed and saw this 😭

How it continued flying is beyond me. Nazgul eco btw

Finally got that 2 colour look on the props lol
