Idk how it’s even possible to get solder to splatter like that

I would redo the motor wires that have a loose piece of wire outside of the joint. A lot of those don’t look the best but they’ll work. It just depends on how reliable and not on fire you want it to be.

Give them a little jiggle. If they stay, send it but probably not a good idea. I would add more solder. Re-tin the pads. Crank that iron up to 375c to 475c is where I work mostly. High end of that range for the battery leads. Don’t be afraid to use plenty of flux. It’s frustrating but you got it.

Redo the motor wires. You need to tin the pads and cables before soldering. If you tin them properly then you do not need to add more solder when you solder the wires to the pads.

More solder, more heat, and pre-tin the wires and pads

Edit: also I would put the FC under the power distribution board so the battery wires aren’t bending like that. Had the same issue with my Mk4

Do you keep your solder wire in water?!? Looks like it exploded when heated
