I am so pissed having to send back my P3P for the 4th time for stress cracks around the arms and motors. There are so many plates out there and I'm looking for anyone that can recommend a set that they have had luck with. Thanks everyone!
Phantom 3 Pro Stress Crack Reinforcement Plates

Thanks Gary I'll check them out. All 4 times it has been the left front motor, no crashes and always hand catch. I have a P2V that I learned on that has had it's fair share of crashes but never a scratch and my P4 has never had an issue. I love the P3P except the **** stress cracks!
I was curious if the prop guards would effectively distribute the pressure and double as a plate. I have a pair off amazon that are quick release. (Orange and black generic) I dismissed it but these cracks could lead to serious damage if not taken care of. I'm gonna inspect my p3p for cracks
The pro guards only cover 4 the screws however not the full 6

Have flown my bird only a coulle of times and today i saw one small crack on each of the front arms, I'm thinking of coating ether then inside of arms or outer shell with epoxy, what do you guys think?

Buy the Strong Arms from Infinity Hobby. I've been using them on my P3P for a while now and no cracks. They are very well made, fit great and easy install and look good to, If you're seriously thinking of using a Strong Arms then these are the ones to get, u won't regret it...

I inspected my p3p and no cracks around the motor housing and however my phantom is only 3 months old but without knowing I was putting a lot of stress on them (like stopping completely from windsurfing at 56 mph or instantly turn around while going fast)
I would very much like to get the real product to reduce stress but I really do enjoy my prop guards and how they look on my drone also it's easier to see. To the OP I don't mean to hijack your thread but I figured they are pretty much the same question.

I've read so many threads about cracks, people have different opinions on why it happens. I bought mine on amazon. I've had them on for almost a year now, but I paid $37 for them, I think there around $22 on Infinity Hobby website. IMO they are worth every penny..

How long have you had your phantom for? I didn't touch any settings that have to do with braking and I've had my guards since my second flight. Unfortunately now the DJI Go app crashes every time I start it and it sometimes reboots my phone. Did research and nothing fixes so I'm going to be grounded for a while before I get a supported device instead of my Galaxy s7 edge. So I cannot adjust settings any more or even see what it's set to.
