F4 AIO 12A FC V3

I have had two of these delivered in the last few months both have had blown esc's on delivery is anyone else seeing this?

1. Betafpv 85X plug n pray
2. Betafpv HX115 plug n pray 

they both have this FC board

Be warned !

That's unfortunate. We see quite a few QC issues with BetaFPV gear. It's definitely a brand to stay away from IMO unless you like to roll the dice.

Two in a row, that sucks.

You might want to look at these by DarwinFPV:

It is a F4 - 15a whoop board. If you want to use motor plugs you would have to solder them onto the board, but they are included. I have it on a 2s/3s Crux 3" build. It works well, although it has gotten very little use compared to my digital quads so I can't say much about durability other than it got soaking wet from sprinkler and still works fine.

Or GepRC Makes an AIO with motor plugs:

I haven't used it, but I have had good experience with other GepRC products.

Happy Model also make a lot of whoops and AIO that people like, although I have no experience with them:

Maybe try one of these, or similar, from another manufacturer. Perhaps due to all the problems going on right now BetaFPV are having a bit of trouble with the QC on those boards.

I can say the Darwin in my Tinyhawk Freakstyle is still going… it has taken several “not so nice” crashes.. one bad enough to brake the frame in pieces …and loose a motor..

Yup, after my rxsr’s were doing stupid things just like Frsky… I THOUGHT about expresslrs…then easily decided to go crossfire… ELRS, I’m sure is great and will be greater.. the components are not.. I’ll spend a few more $ to make sure my quads don’t end up where they are not supposed to be…who knows, I would love to have a controller with crossfire for 3” and above and ELRS for my whoops and 1s quads..

I hear you! first EP2 i borked my fault, 2nd rx the ufl connector came off removing the antenna to put on heat shrink, 2nd EP2 had a bridge between the rx and tx pads i couldn't see it but the multimeter could i ran the iron between the pads and managed to clear the bridge, I never could see it. then i found out the hx115 i brought had a defective ESC from the factory so im gonna have to do it again, in the mean time i have soldered 2 quads with tbs hardware without fault.

I'm going on holiday soon so i need to start thinking about what works and what i need to take with me, and i seems elrs is not gonna be on the list for now, it's gonna be a crossfire fest which makes me feel a warm sense of comfort :-) lmao

Well this is getting RMA'ed after jumping through a few hoops, Bye bye jesc licences. after looking at the soldering from the factory this is what i saw lmao!

look at the esc's !

Wow. That is truly shocking workmanship. BetaFPV QC at it's finest. I've never owned a BetaFPV product but this is probably a prime example of why so many people likely have issues with their products.

I would at least expect my soldering to be worst than the manufacturer, Turns out both esc's 1 and 3 had very bad soldering.
