Any ideas on keeping an xt60 plug connected better on crashes.  Anytime I've had a harder crash my plug comes disconnected.  The battery itself is still strapped securely to the quad.  

This will be helpful for beacon if I get lost.  


Thx.

I wouldn't mind knowing this as well... it seems each of my quads all have awkward plugins... If I could find a way to compensate with a little firmer retention on the plug it would be great.

I think it depends which ones you are using. I've used cheap plastic XT-60s from China that don't stay connected. I now use "genuine" nylon plugs that stay connected much better.

They are definitely cheap China plugs. Where would one find genuine xt60?

In the meantime, you might try this hack: http://intofpv.com/t-xt60-toothpick-hack

I might give the toothpick trick a try

Good price too.

I used this hack and it definitely feels like it works. I havent crashed since but the plug feels much more snug.



UPDATE:

I've crashed now and had the battery stay connected. This mod works nicely.
