Loose connector
 
Is it possible for a loose esc battery terminal to mess with the draw of the battery I mean I know it can but can it damage the lipo like draw more from one cell to the other ?

I think as there’s only 2 wires coming out the lipo, either all the power’s coming out together or it’s not coming out at all. I don’t see how it’s possible to pull it out 1 cell and not the other since there is no balance wire connected.

In a serial string the current is everywhere the same, so no.

Ok I was thinking it could negatively effect something not even create heat or resistance from the battery I’ve read weak solder joints could possible

It can create undesirable noise, operation and the connector will get hot so if your battery terminals push in to the case with bullets and are loose, replace them asap or risk battery damage.
In a basic of essential theory the connector making and braking a connection causes a sort of switch bounce, inductive kick back is limited to the wire itself added to what current inrush there might be to satisfy the capacitance of the esc.

The only real damage is the loss of control or crashing of course if your better has an external connector.
