Yeah, it is stripped too much. but then I am sure there was no short from them because that was one of the first things I checked. 
It does look like that in the picture but then, like I said, it does have enough room and it is pretty solid... :/

Welcome to the "endless repairs backlog club"

Because I am super and awesome and in general more cautious, I dont crash nearly as much as JB or other youtubers.
Still a big and growing graveyard of dead or broken parts.

In my experiene, its VERY rare for a board to be DEAD outright. Because, they DO test them.
I think more common is some shoddy soldering.
I've seen tiny 0201 lifted and cold joint. It works for couple flgihts, then dies or burns.

Thank you, I feel privileged (almost)! lol. 

Also, I am not a huge fan of walking on eggshells, so I build a drone with 6-dollar cheap motors so I can break em enough! ahaha. that's how the tech abuser in me vents lol.

It does not make sense to me too, it was flying amazing a couple of minutes before! and then I had to do some changes to the OSD, if I remember it right,, and then pooff!
