Hey community… I know, I could have edited in a video discussion of this request for help, but I’m kind of busy :).
Below my description and question are time stamps for all ESC failure, so you can scrub directly to that if you don’t need to see how the quad was being flown prior to issues.
Brief Description of Problem:
Intermittently while flying the quad behaves as if failsafing (from FPV view), but upon line of sight inspection quad loses power on Motor 4 (in BF), aka Front Left Motor (from FPV perspective), and then falls out of the sky. I changed the ESC for that motor, and the quad flew fine for half a pack. After a crash it began the failsafey/motor-dip again.
Question:
Is this an ESC problem, or an FC problem? Do I need to free up processor space (F3)? Or am I just getting unlucky with ESCs in crashes?

Well I cannot offer you any relief bc ive never seen a quad act that way before but if it happened to me I would be incredibly frustrated. Therefore I have asked the best person I know to take a look. The great JB.
Get a F4 fc!
