My Msr with a full battery will only use 40% before it hits the deck! Some times with a fresh battery it can hardley get of the ground! and the blue lite starts flashing, With new batteries/main motor /tail motor! I am suspecting the main board. HELP

Check the battery wires at both ends, I have seen posts where the wires were only hanging on by a few threads.

Cold can affect batteries too.. In what temperature are you flying?

Have you checked for hair or other things that could bind it up? Dirty bearings? Bad main gear?

A bad motor will draw excess current and set off LVC early.

Mine was doing the same thing so I turned it into a shelf queen.

I had the exact problem described here and it was a bad main motor. Check if your main motor is getting hot while running.

I found some replacement motors for $6.99. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...m=290661401553. Received them, but haven't tried them yet.

Problem fixed! Turned out to be a dodgey battery cable to the main board the board just not getting all its power. Thanks for all replies and sugestions!
