Is this a stress crack or just the way the molding is?

Sorry, they are stress cracks. I have the ones that are straight at the ends. Look at your landing gear, I have at least 4 other small ones in the landing gear. I just ordered the landing gear. I'm trying to wait for YouTube to get better videos on splitting the case apart. I called dji and the told me to send it in and they would look at it but could not say I would get the same aircraft back. So I'm not sending mine in because I know how this bird has been treated.

After closer inspection. Mine are not cracks, it's just the way the molding is in the body.
Also just looked at a brand new P4P at bestbuy. Same exact marks.

A stress crack would not run away from the inner circle where the LED lens is located. Stress cracks, like electricity, follow the path of least resistance. That would NOT cause it to skirt around the circle. I think it would run straight to it and hit the circle at a perpendicular angle as opposed to following it somewhat tangentially.
 
Great thread, scared me to begin with!, then feeling OK now, I have the exact same mold lines/things on mine
