Do you have a wiring diagram for your battery upgrade that you would be willing to share?, just watched and read your work and would really like to try this myself. I am getting about 12-18 minutes on stock solo battery and really need more working time.
Appreitiate any help you can give. Thank you

Hi, I think there is all the information there. I updated it yesterday for the balancing leads. You need to solder the connectors for the balancing leads correctly - that's all. Is it clear?

So I want to step back to something real quick because I took a look at my flight logs and the 3dr development guide and im seeing an under 20 amp draw during flight and hover stock with gopro, what method did you use to measure 46 amps during use?

The development guide states 15A no gimbal or camera, 20A draw with 700g payload, 120A max burst depending on wind payload and maneuver.

In stabilized flight mode hover and push the throttle up all the way fast. It will accelerate with max speed.

I'm using Solex app for my Solo. UDP will not connect. WIFI connect to the controller and Solo. I can start the motors. Help

6. Would an X8 configuration (using Ycables from Solo's 4 ESC signal ports) be worthwhile? I'm going to start out with 4 motors, but I'd prefer to be able to step up to 8 in the future.

Sorry to be so long winded but I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks for the information and well-wishes. I should have all of the parts that I don't have already by next weekend and I'll get started as soon as they arrive.
I'll probably have another question or 12 during the build process, so, I may have to bug you again, if thats okay with you.

Here are a couple of extra questions now.
How do you have your landing gear set-up? My assumption would be the camera trigger button but you know what you get when you assume.
Also; How much room is there between the top and bottom plates, I'd love to put that 4in1 esc in there but it's pretty chunky, so, I'm not getting my hopes up.

4. Were you able to retain all of the Solo functions and do you still have the full telemetry including the battery info on the controller and Solex?

5. My plan is to start out using 4 XPS 1000 kv motors, 13x7 props and an EMax 30 amp 4in1 Esc. Do you think that would suffice?

You can retain full telemetry, and solo functions yes, as far as KV that depends on what you want to do? Do you want a skyburner or a lower kv filming platform? I used 600 KV motors on my build.

I ordered some Ebay special 750 kv pancakes (https://goo.gl/K8uych) to start with and I'll adjust fire from there depending on performance.
