I purchased a 550 heavy lift kit from Aerial Media Pros last week. Started my build as soon as the items showed up. Kinda bummed at the hardware included with the heavy lift kit.
Three big problems:
1. bullet connectors too long -- they stick out 1.5mm in the stock 550 dji esc. Stock bullets are 8mm. these are 9.5mm
2. bullet connectors are frail -- broke two upon the first removal of them in the esc. because of the excessive length and the quality and the way they are made, there's a lever effect, and will continue to break. They are "prongs" and can flex at the base of each. Photo of one of them attached. There are higher quality bullets in their build vid. Wondering why I didn't get them.
3. plate hardware is lower quality -- material is too soft. Backed them out one time (plate was installed upside down) and hex heads stripped. (I was using the correct size key). They just aren't hardy enough to be backed out and put back to use.
I have all 18 connectors soldered on & they'll all have to come off now. Does anyone know where I can purchase high quality 8mm male bullet connections?
I'm posting similar posts in the vendor area, but I don't think they are getting any visibility down there.
