Runcam Split is an interesting challenge. I think my 20×20 fc and esc are lighter than the asguard. Would need to shave around 20g from the build. If I remember the rotorgeeks are a gram or two lighter than the cobra. The runcam Nano is lighter than the micro, and the vtx02/03 is lighter than the unify. Would need to increase height though. Hmmmm 🙂
For the record the drone regulations sort of make sense if you’re flying a GPS drone. They make no sense whatsoever to racing quads. The existing guidelines cover everything we do, and if some Muppet decided to do 80mph in a busy area feel free to handcuff him. Until I do, jog on.
looks real nice
You know a racekwad isn’t a drone right?! so fuck those ‘drone’ rules LOL! Very interesting setup. Pretty curious how this thing performs
Looks good!
That is a sweet drone!!
That’s one sweet build. The hglrc xjb f428 would be a perfect candidate. Less than 10g which includes a 200mw vtx. (If you want some dimensions for stack height I can let you know) Also I’ve been waiting for the new Brother hobby 1507 Motors to be released, which would probably suit 5″ props a little better. Like you said runcam nano is lighter, and could have the mount and pod redesigned as one piece. That would be epic!
Can you use a 22xx size motor on that frame?
Looks legit ????
If you want a stack, I think the EMAX aio stack would be perfect. It’s super clean, light and quick to put together. And Emax sells all the individual components if you break something.
I’m currently using a KissCC flight controller with betaflight 3.2.2 flashed and it’s working great! I’d say it’s the lightest possible setup that you could come up with for FC and ESC combo. I’m currently using a TBS Unify pro HV, but I’m waiting to get my hands on a Runcam tx200 to replace it.
The only reason we don’t see more of these is because of the lack of options and availability of frames.
I dare to say that you could do even better than that with less money.
Hi mate, get it in the air 🙂 some bits – screws are titanium. Motors are indeed what takes the hits more times than not. On 5e config, note the yaw motor direction is reversed. I forgot to do it on one config, the thing hit the dining room roof at full speed on hover test 🙂 bust the cam lense but a good test of how that standoff setup takes a hit
Super interesting!!!
Great looking quad!!
Looks great, subbed. New proposed regs make me laugh, I think the 250g will never be enforceable. I can’t see the police carrying digital scales around with them anytime soon! I still like the idea of building one though.
