There are some setting in the fw that have PWM min and max in the name that have to do with each motor i might mess with them, WTH.
Red is +
Green is -
18/03 biult Platinum ESC board for interest.
PWM is requested power %. Left front power must be dropping and the flight controller is commanding more to compensate.
Try adding + and - jumpers to those board locations.

Another problem with the Mavic is heat buildup on the ESC board. The MOSFETs sit upside down with no heat sinks of any kind and basically zero airflow. Try thermal pasting a square of aluminum on and see if that helps.
It's a factory new part, that's how they come out of the package now without tinning or coating. The older Platinum ESC boards came pre tinned.Just morbid curiosity, how did you get a board completely clean with no solder residue??
WHOOORAAAA !!!!!!!!!!
Good and bad news.
Bad news is my theory that I might have had bad motors was wrong. I attached them to Mavic#8 and no-go. If I was a betting man, I would wager that I over heated the main board by soldering the motor wires at least a dozen separate times.
So I cracked Mavic#9 out of the box and the madness continues. I moved the new rotor arms to the never flown bird and she fired up the first try and I did a 30 second inaugural flight. The gps and compass freaked out, but taking baby steps here

Good point, I removed the metal plate in the mod and forgot to put it back. I put the factory gps/shell back on and completed a 15 minute hover test with zero issues. Fingers crossed.You need metal shielding under the GPS module, and positioning it more forward will help get it away from the motors. Note that the Phantom places the GPS high and centered with ample amounts of metal foil underneath.
Good to hear! Try some foil tape under your GPS extender and compare compass noise vs stock. High rear motor load will make a lot more noise back there so test thoroughly before flying beyond LOS.Good point, I removed the metal plate in the mod and forgot to put it back.

Aye aye sir! After hearing chaszz's issues, I am taking my sweet time for once on this mod.Good to hear! Try some foil tape under your GPS extender and compare compass noise vs stock. High rear motor load will make a lot more noise back there so test thoroughly before flying beyond LOS.
And test at lower voltage towards the end of the packs when the current is highest. Exactly the time you don't want to have yaw errors when you're coming home on 0%.
Hmmm... just completed another hover test and landed as usual. The second the bird landed and the motors cut off, all 4 props came loose and flew up a couple feet.
I don't have p3 prop experience, am I doing something wrong??
Ive never heard of such a thing. that is very odd.
