I've finally gotten it all assembled, but I seem to be having an issue with the ESC. It only runs for a few seconds and then stops working. The ESC still has power at that point because the "power" light is still on, but there is no throttle response. I'm not sure if the voltage is spiking, or if it's too low, and that's making the automatic cut-off actuate. I also notice a little issue on the ESC board; there apears to be a sloppy solder joint that connects the negative terminal in from the battery and the negative terminal out to the receiver. I'm thinking that may have something to do with it, but it came from the factory like that and I'm not sure I want to mess with it too much in case I might void the warranty or something like that. Anyways, updated pictures. Video to come, if I can sort out the ESC issues.
