Default Ideas on a weird temp loss of power

Heli:
T-500 TT
Savox servos
YGE 90LV ESC w/gov
BD3SX w/2sats and capacitors
CC vertigo motor
Pulse 3300 35c (almost new pair)

So I finally got around to setting up my T-500 with the BD3SX. I was testing out my ridged settings making sure it was good to go before I turn on the CP/SL. I was doing fast forward/backward flight, pitch pumps and piro's. During my first battery I had two times where the power dropped for about a second. Once at about 2 min in and the other at about 4 min. One was in forward flight the other at a hover. When I brought it down I was thinking a brown out but the sats still had the lights on. My ESC didnt show any error messages either. I then tossed on my second pack and did the same type of flying this time no power loss.

Any ideas on what it could be? Should I worry about it?

How do your electrical connections look? any cold joints? Maybe bad wires leading into motor? What's the log telling you?

YGE don't have logs to my knowledge.

I'm running a 90LV with power bec in my Goblin. If it can handle a goblin 500, I'm pretty certain a Trex500 wouldn't give it problems.

I had a similar thing occur last weekend. A battery lead had come off the connector. I had reduced power in flight, but I could see it causing a brown-out issue. I assume you've checked the connections on the suspect battery?
