Yeah that's just like what I used, mine already uses a commonly available RC connector so I just made an adapter to plug it into my drone, and that shouldn't be an issue, that rating is the available current, connecting something to it will only draw the amount of current it needs

Update: problem solved, the battery was faulty, I made an adapter for to connect a lithium car jump starter to the drone, strapped it to the bottom and it flew perfectly, pretty unstable though, probably because the lithium jump started was probably 3 times heavier than the lipo, but I probably...

Will check battery voltage after a full charge, and yes when one motor running at full throttle is alot faster than when I have 2+ motors running at full throttle, this test was done using the clean flight motor test sliders

Yes I have, also calibrated the throttle range on the four escs, if I use clean flight and run one motor it seems to reach full throttle, but when I have one at full and turn another one up fully they definitely both slow down, seems like something is causing excess voltage drop?

Anybody have any idea what my issue might be?

How do I post a link? It wont let me, used the reptile/alien 500 frame from eBay, someone said it weighs 580g? I can weigh my completed drone And nope it won't fly, bounces around and slides on the ground a little at full throttle, also kinda seems like the motors never reach full rpm, battery...

Recently completed my first quad build and well I can't get it off the ground! Reptile 500 frame, simonk 30amp esc's, sunny sky 2212 980kv motors, 1045 props, so racing f3 evo flight controller and an 1800mah 3s lipo, specifies it's rated for 35c discharge, any obvious issues right away? I feel...
