Update: This is no longer the fastest quadcopter. The fastest quadcopter can be found here: https://youtu.be/3aoq8HxHOSo
Update: Yes, this video is terrible. For a better sense of speed, here is an HD video of 200+ mph (not average since it was wind assisted): https://youtu.be/T_NXjYPgxZw
Max speed of 202.11mph/325.26kph. For the Guinness world record, the opposite direction over 100m will be submitted which was 195.99mph/314.41kph. Links to witness statements are below. Since I am cheap and not paying for an expedited review, this will take 3-4 months to get the official certification…
Video with Blackbox overlay: https://youtu.be/cGoYEmOd_JU

Awesome design and wonderful flight and documentation as always
GPS speed from osd? Not accurate at all.
I can’t wait for the Unveiling any longer………..
Please flash a 1 sec pic of an arm or body so I can scoot to the edge of my seat more 😉
Trust me, I am at the edge too! Since I’m new at this, I need to get things lined up. If I show it, I run the risk of it being copied by those who have the means to produce it right away. I can hardly wait…
Yeah Sucks that Companies do that
The “STINGY” frame by XHOVER was Cloned and it was crap
So Please yes get your ducks in a row before anything else……..I’ll Wait 😉
that’s killer, man!
Electric eyes are everywhere. .mj
Sorry but that’s no where near 200mph, GPS is wrong on this one , my hyperlite floss looks way faster on my dvr. Sorry but your not covering enough area when going full throttle , looks like maybe the length of a football field, 200mph should cover three football fields in just seconds .
Excellent work. I knew the previous record holders had a ton more potential than the bricks they were flying. You smashed them with far less power and well thought out aero. Things things are somewhat small but have you ever stuck your hand in the wind at 200 mph? That is a crazy amount of force and your design is exactly what I had in my head that would make getting there possible not a fireball of amps and kv. Great work.

hmmm not sure about 200mph
Next time I won’t use a standardized measurement system set up by the military, I’ll just have you write down your opinion, lol 😉
Jolie vidéo? abonner?
How many amps were you pulling
I wish I knew. Not sure how much you know about the subject, but I do have a blog post on prop unloading. Obviously, I was banking on this. I remember seeing metropolisFPV doing freestyle with 6s and his max pull was around 95A. Freestyle and racing is much harder on amp draw than speed runs (I slightly ease into the throttle). At top speed, prop is loaded around 15% (just throwing a number, but isn’t much) so it really is a cakewalk as far as amps go. Streamlining helps too since more drag force = more motor torque required to push thru the air.
How do you have only 150 subs lol
Ryan L How much did that frame cost you to make
Congrats but reviewing the components you used seem lackluster. Why 2400kv instead of high kv? You should get higher speeds from a higher kv prop? And up those ESC’s to like 45 amps
Ryan L hahaha I might indeed have asked that before, still your work is amazing. Please make some videos showing off the designs and explaining some features, that would be great and I’m sure it would help your sub count.
I will eventually get there. Keeping it under wraps rt now – not trying to be greedy. The idea is good enough that it could change things big time and I don’t want a big company taking the small guys (me) idea and taking advantage, or China copying it before I get a chance to sell. Eventually, everyone will benefit 🙂 Production wont be a speed frame, it will be fast but only based on the XLR arm design although one could easily make the frame into an XLR
Ryan L good to hear, can’t wait until I can buy this stuff. So are you working with piroflip?
I don’t know what my next steps will be, being very cautious and gathering options. Kabab FPV has seen the design and likes it. We’ve been throwing ideas around but I have had it figured out for awhile, lots of cool features, too busy with speed stuff, just need to get details done. I will say this: I don’t think 4 in 1s will work well on this. Right now, designing just for separate ESCs since benefit outweighs cons
Ryan L allright, I hope you all the best!
Finally somebody noticed! I did a blog post on prop unloading. Speed runs are easy on the amps. Freestyle and racing (lots of time spent with fully loaded props) pull more amps. At top speed, props are mostly unloaded ESPECIALLY for a stremlined design. More unloading = higher rpm. Higher rpm = more speed. More speed = more unloading… It feeds on itself up to a point. You raise this point by being more and more aerodynamic.
Another thing – nano tech wasn’t my first choice. I had that as a practice battery and ready to go. Only had time for that one run. First choice were r-lines. Also had another 6s frame with 35a wraiths. That with the r-line wouldve been first if all had gone according to plan. Higher kv motor… give it a try, I know and want the record to go higher
Fpv STUNT you realize the higher up you get the slower it appears right?
Good objective point. Military probably didn’t know what they were doing when they set up GPS. Next time I’ll let you tell me what you think the speed looks like. I’ll give Guinness the heads up 😉
You truly are inspiring for those who are getting into frame design by using science rather than aesthetic preferences to design a truly astonishing frame!!
I found your site 2 months ago, and boy did I think this would happen, cuz you were getting speeds which were just around 20 mph shy of the world record, but using half the cells!!
Congrats and well deserved!
great work mate 🙂
great work mate 🙂
Thanks Hugues!
Good run. Was it 200 mph… idk… I know it’s moving.. but… radar gun in each direction and there’s no arguing… I’m sure you’ll get it!
Ryan L I think you’re referring to the gps tracker that is a stand alone gps unit
I’m referring to the unit I am using and it is stand alone. The osd merely displays the reading and blackbox merely records the readings. I did the research. This was my earlier response to somebody that was questioning the method and includes the documentation:
“The positional information in the GPS will not be accurate at all at these speeds and accelerations.” Agreed, it is no good, but only the odometer function uses a combination of velocity and position. Also, the description of the odometer function even states that velocity is Doppler based.
From page 69 of the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 protocol specification:
“The odometer provides information on travelled ground distance (in meter) using solely the position and Doppler-based velocity of the navigation solution… The odometer feature is disabled by default.”
Protocol Spec link:
Since the velocity is Doppler based, you get great accuracy:
From page 7 of the ublox NEO-M8 data sheet: Velocity accuracy 0.05m/s
Data sheet link:
To get the 100m distance: distance covered can be figured out by using the time between samples (measured in micro seconds) and velocity. Why doesn’t the odometer use this method? Odometer needs a heading.
Sample rate is 5Hz for this unit – not fast, but sample rate doesn’t affect accuracy, only resolution.
This is why Guinness accepts GPS velocity.
Ryan L damn man… well shit! Next time fly close to the ground or over a football field!! Or so like me and fly over 90 mph in my back yard….
I was really upset that the runcam split gave too much interference for the gps. Fpv video is so muddy that it doesn’t give a good sense of speed. Measure it on google maps, that strech of road is about 1000′ long.
lol
The best part is this isn’t even an expensive build just really well engineered
The best part is this isn’t even an expensive build just really well engineered
Thanks, I appreciate it! Many continue to think that money solves everything
Did you get someone from the world record committee to record, document and verify that it’s the fastest and actually doing 200 mph? Cause I’m not convinced at all that was accurate and you can be as cocky as you want and say how your GPS military tech is smarter then me and blah blah but in the end I still don’t buy this at all. Good click bait though it got me.
Ryan L I can understand that but they won’t ask so many questions if you put all the proof you have for us to see in one video so there can be no question that it happen.
That actually is a really good idea. I have copies of the witness statements. Too late to put them in the video, but I could put links in the description. If I can add subtitles, I could say the links are there. I’ll gather as much as I can and see what I can do.
Also, not sure if you saw, but there is a link to the raw blackbox log. Still, the more I can put in there, the better.
open pmm.scad with openscad to understand how slow is 200mph
song name please 🙂
Hey Now by MK2 – it’s one of the available youtube songs
Both witness statements are in the description now.
awesome ryan.. crazy fast
awesome ryan.. crazy fast
Thanks – ordering a few test frames tomorrow for production. Not as fast as this one, but I’ll get there eventually – at least close
wish they hadn’t played the shit music and let us hear the drone
wish they hadn’t played the shit music and let us hear the drone
Agree. I was unable to get a runcam split on it since it interfered with the gps too much, made me extremely unhappy since fpv video is crap. All that can be heard is very loud static noise so I had to throw some cheesy youtube soundtrack on it :/ I halfway think static is better. I’m still going to see what I can do, I have a split mini now that maybe for whatever reason won’t mess with the gps.
Truly awesome, great work Ryan! How come the haters here doubting your accomplishment never have videos of their own up?
Thanks! Always haters… every shred of proof I have is in the description for anybody to prove it wrong. I’m working crazy trying to get production plans going, should be worth the wait 🙂

It’s not for all out speed but definitely faster than other race frames. An all out speed frame will eventually happen but it’s not easy to make what is needed.
whith the use of some basic math its pretty clear that you arent going ovee 120 mph….
you inspired me to try and beat your 6s speed record
Records are made to be broken! If you have questions, shoot me an email from my website
Shir will thanks
Try the tmotor f80 2500kv next with 6s?
Song name ? <3

That is just so cool. Can I swap out my wizard motors for the cobras? Of course I would upgrade other items for 6s
Let me know when the frame get in
Text me if u can.
I posted a couple speed runs of the production frame. It’s a 5″ race frame (only 4s and can squeeze in a 5s) and I’ll also have spare arm sets. First batch is coming in next week. Not many and I have you on the first dibs list. If interested, let me know:
Ryan L yes sir I sent msg on ur site
Ryan L yes sir I sent msg on ur site
It looks like the kits will be $51 and a spare arm set will be $8. IF it changes, it would only be a dollar or 2. Wish I could sell spare arms cheaper, but they go by machining time, not by the amount of material used :/
Keep it at 59 and I will buy the frame and extra arms. Hardware should also come with the frame?
Also would u send me the specs on the 200mph drone, I can’t find it thanks.
It will stay at $59, all aluminum hardware is included

Oh its fast but not 200mph if ao then my drone beats that. Let me guess you got your speed from the gps righhhttttt… Oki doki there. If you want to actually claim the fastest the actually do it the right way man, and i cant help but to see that you want to argue its accurate aaahh no no its not this has been proven over and over and over and over aaannnndd over and over and over and over again. I mean hell i got 1 drone in that case that does 321mph lol. Be fore real if your going to stand by your word then prive it dude not jist gps is accurate maybe u have all these noobs fooled but anyone thats been in the sport long enough to be a actual pro knows you obviously dont know what your talking about if your going to say gps is accurate lol. And then not have the balls to actually use a radar gun thats been calibrated and then recalibrated. Once again another moron noob that thinks his electronics are all accurate lol oki doki there rookie cant wait to see your face when u actually fly against some pros like myself and i pass your fake ignorant stuborn ass, because then im gonna rub it in your face that oh i thought it was accurate its off by about 50mph once u get up 120mph plus. Your doing about 150mph or so not 200mph. Like i said come on a argue all u want bit if u were not scared it wasnt accurate u would know not to go off gps in the field and get a real reading hell in that case ol bob was hitting 1200mph the other day. Fakey 2 times im gone awayyyyy flakey 2 time im gone awayyyyyyyy fakey to time fakey too times fakey toooo times fakey tooo times im flyin awayyyyyyyyy. Get a real reading fool u might impress the noobs or rookies what ever u want to call them but your the guy thats like look im doing 100mph and in all reality your 60mph in this case your like look im doing 200mph in all reality your doing abojt 150mph im willing to put $1000 dollars down on it right now but we have to make a vid of it with a real radar gun that’s calibrated not no off gps reading. And you have to do a straight line runs. Hit me up in vid must have cash up front and when u find out your not hitting 200mph you have to admit your a stuborn moron. Same vise versa hit me up though for real if you stand by your convictions. Later there fakey 2 times, or should i call fool for thinking your little bitty gps is actually accurate lol. Once again i got a $1000 that says you dont know a damn thing about gps and how off they are, how the faster you go the more off it will be. I do this for a living and the only gps tjat even close to being alittle bit accurate are military grade of which you have to have a security clearance to even get your hands on and of which you can not buy in retail stores. So hit me $1000 ill fly to you must be before the multiGP regional finals though after that im all about making my sponsor’s happy so i have to get down every day until the nationals so thats sept. 22nd anytime between then $1000 bick if u want ill bring my radar gun and ill fly out to u but u have to agree to record it because i aint flying out there just for a extra $1000 in my pocket. But i will. To get my hits up there shaky 2 time i mean fakey 2 time or 2 time moron. Lol accurate gps let me guess u must be maintenance worker, mechanical engineer or tech support dont know a damn thing only do what your told. Lol $1000 buck hit me up there faly O fakes
the truth You listed 0 facts, 0 evidence (“fakey fakey 2 times” or whatever is as close as you got), you can’t spell, you can’t do simple research or read the video description, and you do crack which explains your crack rage ignorance. Since the setup of the block IIF satellites, the m8n gps receiver is accurate to within +/-0.11mph which makes a radar gun look like a toy. Lay off the crack.

It looked like it was bobbing around like a boat. I am however interested the frame to me resembles the idea behind the aerobot frame.

Hows the other performance with a frame like this does punch suffer or cornering speed, loops etc etc? Pro’s vs Con’s? I watched the video a few more times and dang it is really fast.

I’ll have to patch together some video footage. I’ve been reluctant to do so since I am a terrible pilot – not smooth or steady at all :/ especially when flying fast and having the fpv camera on a 70-80° angle
In the meantime, here’s kababfpv flying an early prototype of the ARX production frame:

No what dies make since is ur a dumb fuck, that is obviously so lost in your own shit filled mind that you have to lie to yourself about whats reality and whats perception and i dont really expect. A dumb fuck like ur self to under stand anything, when u resort to the grammar lol yea you signify your a dumb fuck that has nothing self better to do by the time you say that if u read dumb fuck or should i say faky 3 times i aint guven a fuk abut no grammur its a u tub communt. Then again u are the supid fuck that talks about colleged kids and shit fukimg loser, go bacl to ur $10 a hour factory job at unipres and stack those parts boy leave the the thinking up to people that actually have a brain and can read without , . ‘ ” uh oh him musa be cun fusssed again stupid fuck i work on the top satellites for GPS and everything ur dumb ass uses and no i graduates du colug abut 15 years ago kud cun u undur stud thuat or am i tulkin ur languages hold on i mean lunguaig uat it aint no fang if ur to dumb hold on dum to not undur stand, that no GPS that ur dumb ass can buy tjat goes on a small drone is accurate when it come to speed dddddddumb fucckkkk hold i mean da da da da dum fu u u k did i studer enough for your hillbilly dumb ass and ad enough cuntrie ebonicks n thur fur ya. If your say your gps is 100% accurate like i said ill bet you $1000 its not bitch i am the one that engineer’s the satellites that ur talkimg about for fuck sake stupid ass. And im telling we design them this way so only the millitary has a true reading ever notice how it wants to be on but always just alittle off yea stupid fuck. Anyways stop opening that cock sucker or put ur money where ur dumb ass shoves the food that makes u a fat lazy stupid fuk at this point hell if u pay for my plain ticket ill put down $2500 on it and challenge u to a head up straigh foward race and well see bit let me guess your gunnnua tulk sum mure shit abut grammur because ur to dumb to figure it out. Typical you tuber also i cant think of nothfen betur than to say grammar. I cant undur staund im say ur not doing 200 dumb fuck if thats what ur going off of is ur gps its off they all are off if u want tell me the location u are flying at and the time and date u flew and ill grab the data and tell how much its off in milliseconds which for dumb fucks like ur self im sure i would have to do the math because u cant even under stand how to read a comment on you tube unless how you say right it like a college paper all propper and shit your to dumb to even under stand sooo here let me break it down for you fooly dummboos and you fakey 3 time and u also the pilot fakey 2 times. $2500 you pay for my ticket must have cash in hand or i pay for my own ticket and ill beat u $1000 ill supply the real radar gun and calibration for it with my money u must hold wait you cant under stand so here $1000 i fly there. I bring radar gun, calibrate. You and i both sign agreement we can both use our own vids on website using css, and or youtube on our own channel and if you actually are hitting 200mph you getthe money if not i get the money, we both get video from our own camera setups and post, we both profit. Can you atleast under stand that stupid fuck wait let me guess your gonna come on and say your grammar i dont under stand your spellimg yea the spelling is so your betty crocker ass can under stand am i off with the accent i didnt think so. Email me if you want to be real and a fakey flake which i see you are all u can do is say grammar lol what a fake lil bitch. And dude that replied i wish i could meet you fat boy id love to meet you little man in a fat suite sittimg behind a screen typical little bitch. Email we will meet. Now ur all waisting my time witj fake ass i cant undur stund becus grumur shit hey hey hey you need to stop staring atthe screen and go clean that cow and horse shit up before your dad gets back do ur chores little man it ok youll get it one then again maybe not LOL YOUR TO FUCKIng STUPID TO UNDERSTAND. Anyways say what u will if ur real you will email can u not figure that one out either dont have time to waist on u losers talking about grammar on a youtube comment grow up call me or actually email when ur balls drop. Or u loose about 200 pounds i know i know trust me pepee will drop out of the fat arpund if u jist lose some weight that lil 5in pepee will get bigger if u just get off the flat ass u have its 5in because it sucked in to your fat. Oh ho uh to much tmi for me anyways if your for real and not just a youtube shit talker email other than that i have some shit i got to do for work thek i got to practice some more the multigp regional finals is getting close time to beat all u shit ass pilots just like last year well except for the 1 fucker that did beat me anyways fukkuaaa uuuuffff fakey 2 times and fakey 3 time im gone away oh and i am not comi g back to read you loser ass replys u got me on this one u got me on this bit u are not fukin my troll up anymore fakey 3 times LOL FUCKING LOSER
Ryan L zx14r owner and race drone pilot here, gotta love speed!
Do you have any plans to actually show the drone going 200mph? That’s the only reason I came here.
I don’t blame you since I don’t like crappy fpv video either (to me its almost pointless to record non-hd video, but this is all I had). I would eventually like to get ground or hd fpv video. When doing these runs, I kept it kind of far away for safety but mostly so I could use the road as a rough guide, nobody close enough to record (tried but couldn’t see it, only hear it). I wanted to use the runcam split but it caused too much gps interference which severely disappointed me since I hate it when I can’t get HD video. Once I get around to reviving this thing, the goal will be to move the gps receiver and get HD video with a split and of course try to get ground video.
Cool, I wasn’t trying to be critical of you…just the title made it seem like you were going to do some high speed passes. I’d like to get into FPV drones.
I know you weren’t being critical – I was rambling on over my own disappointment of the video 😛
Fpv is a blast, I prefer flying for fun. The speed thing was a temporary goal since I saw I had a knack for it and I hope others will give it a try and get faster results than I achieved
I hate to burst your bubble bro but I highly doubt thats 200mph. Im using emax 2750kv with same props as you on 4s and got a top speed of 102 using a Stalker Radar Gun. Your quad is probably more aero dynamic but still no way youll add 100mph from 4s-6s. To hit 200 on 6s youll have to custom make props such as 5×12 etc. If you ever make some let me know i’ll buy a few 😉
Ive tried using gps and its only accurate up to around 125mph maybe an expensive gps that would not fit in the quad would be accurate above that speed. Just telling you my personal experiences. I think theres alot of dis information out there. Im all about speed Id like to see you me or someone hit 200 but I want it to be a real 200.
you should buy more powerful battery
I had some r-lines, but due to time constraints, never got a chance to use them. I’ll be sure to use them next time
Lol this is total bulshit , what a fuck head .
What is the all up flying weight?
My quad does 9G vertical punchouts and weighs 430g on 4S and does 84 mph, 0 to top speed on 4s takes ~1.8seconds, this is waiting for the G’s to come down to 1G while still at WOT.
Your never full throttle for more than 1.4s with a small peak G of 5.22 (first WOT), mostly around 4G. Simple math would say your 6s quad at only 4G would need to be accelerating for roughly eight times the time, or 8 seconds to go from 0 to 200mph. OK, there is some error in that math, so lets cut it in half to 4 seconds, but your only WOT for 1.4 seconds max. Just seems something is wrong.
I was curious about the AUW, this does not limit top speed, just takes longer to get there, especially with the low 4G your accelerating for the short period of time. The lighter weight quads are upto 13G.
I appreciate the question, I am terrible at explaining things but I’ll try: remember that v = u + at where u is the current speed. I took a quick look at speed pass 1. From t=28.5689 to 29.9619, the quad went from 35.12m/s to 80.9m/s. How many g’s does it take to get to 80.9m/s in 1.393s? Plugging into the equation: 80.9 = 35.12 + a1.393, we get a = 32.86m/s. To get g’s: 32.82m/s / 9.81m/s = 3.35. But of course, this is the average. The key here is the amount of time spent at a given acceleration (impulse). To do this the correct way (since a is continuously changing) you would have to calculate the change in v between different blackbox readings. But this still falls short since the velocity vector will never stay perpendicular to the accelerometer and also, the noise in the accelerometer doesn’t help. In other words, if you try to figure out velocity by using the z accelerometer, it will usually be slower than actual. When figuring it out this way, I got about 70m/s (instead of 80.9m/s) when figuring out speed with the accelerometer data.
Anyway, this thing is a rock at about 550g and would never pull 9g. All my other leisure builds can crush this thing in INITIAL g forces, but what about at t = 1.0 or t=2.0? I’m guessing my leisure quad would be at top end and accelerating at 0g while the XLR would still be accelerating (in other words, the XLR is able to put out more impulse). So it’s all about how you slice it, do you want quick acceleration or fast top end? You might not think it, but I would rather have acceleration – it is a lot more exciting, literally dynamic 🙂 The speed is all for research, not fun.
Or just use a speed gun like you should.

I went into depth about why I picked this motor here, lots more than just thrust and kv:
Ryan L noob here, subscribed for this comment. MATHS!
GPS accuracy on commercial use is appalling, I get 1km/h drift on a 30km ride between devices. Military might have the accuracy, you don’t.
There are some bad ones out there. I made sure this unit has the accuracy and Guinness agrees. They know how to do research before making a statement since they would look like idiots if they made assumptions:
Yeah, I’m going to need to see some objective third party measurements (with a speed gun) on this before I just take your word for it. Also, stop being so butthurt to all the people who comment that this doesn’t look like 200mph. You have offered no objective proof of your claim besides having a fundamentally flawed understanding of the speed accuracy of GPS and how it works.
I only try to correct peoples approach, no bad feelings, it’s actually the other way around. When someone looks at a video and says it’s not the speed it says, that is the very definition of being subjective (as you would say, people go with their butthurt feelings). On the other hand, if people do some objective research on the matter, they wouldn’t look like idiots. Guinness does research which is the reason they are the authority on such things and allow gps readings (depending on the model used) butt do not allow radar guns:
Why do you have it posted MPH . I dont see MPH anywhere
Why do you have it posted MPH . I dont see MPH anywhere

i can go faster with my bike…
Well it’s been over 3-4 months. WhT was Guinness’s opinion?
Now I know why people pay (if they have the $) for a Guinness official to be at the record attempt. So far, the total time for the “free application” process has been almost 10 months and we are still “corresponding”. All contact is done on their website and replies are in “2 weeks or less”, so you can imagine how fast that goes. Gps readings have been approved awhile ago but now we are corresponding on how to prove that the average speed was correctly calculated in which I have had several engineers and a mathematician review. Lots more to say about how tedious this process has been, but I am no longer putting any time frame on it since this process could easily take another 3 months at this rate :O
What is the name of the music you yoused in the vidio
It’s called “Hey Now MK2” but I don’t think it is available to use on youtube anymore(?)

Lol, it should be titled in a way to help people that can’t figure out the obvious, but I’ll let them try and figure out this mess on their own
it went 200 in this video?
I was gonna say. I don’t really see where they go 200 mph…. This is really bad video. How do you go 200 mph for less than a second it makes little sense.
whens V2 coming? 400kph this year:)
I’ve been lazy lately, but I’m dusting the frames off. It’s going to take time/patience but I think 400kmh will happen. If it goes over 400.87kmh, it would technically be the fastest rotorcraft ever (for any scale) with emphasis on the definition of rotorcraft.
310KMH? JEEZ LOUISE I’M ONLY AT 110KMH!

My bad. Gotta change the title, also this one, lol:

Wow that is fast!

Feels Fishy, but he travels from
33.7533463 -111.830860 showing 197kph on screen to (1m20s)
33.7541918 -111.831495 showing 325kph on screen (1m21s)
in 45 frames (30fps video)
thats ~110m in 1.5s = 73.3m/s = 264kph
now (197+325)/2 kph = 261kph
The picture at those times matches exactly what you see on google earth (compare stones and bushes).
THUS: The speed of passing objects you see matches the displayed speed.
The OSD update rate is also correct and the battery sag and recovery seems correct too.
If thats a fake, its a pretty good one.
(Now thats 20min of research i dont get back. YW)
I appreciate the 20mins! It’s the reason I put links up to the raw blackbox, etc just in case somebody can point out a flaw (I’m redoing my website but the file links should still work). I am by far my worst critic and will admit if there is an area of weakness. Yes, a fake would be very hard to do. To synchronize a video, gps data, and blackbox data would be a challenge. I repeat: the video is terrible and the barren landscape makes it worse :/ And I am STILL dealing with Guinness. It’s like this: I’m just a regular guy with nothing to lose except lots of time and sweat. DRL on the other hand paid money for their Guinness application and DRL has lots of $$$ to lose if they can no longer lure sponsors with their GWR speed title. Money talks.
This is cool. Why so many dislikes?
Thanks! I think dislikes due to the bad video (I admit it’s terrible video) and I think a lot are also from DRL and/or their fans. Guinness accepts gps, etc, but they have been delaying and pulling my leg for too long. I’m working on a backup plan but keeping the details under wraps.
Those motors are rated for 4s not 6s. Did you smoke any while practicing? I had a set of LS2206 2300kv burst into flames on 6s the moment I punched out.
Never fried any. Most 2300kv motors will handle 6s even though they say they won’t. The LS2206 motors are made as light as possible and so they might have used a smaller wire gage(?) There’s a guy that used emax 2306 2750kv on 6s to hit 145mph and I was shocked those things didn’t burn up!
@Ryan L Fair enough. I had a set of 1450kv TBS endurance motors cook on 6s too all the windings melted brown after a minute of flight and it did the flip of death. What we need are actual 3000kv 6s motors for speed runs. I want to see faster haha.
Awesome accomplishment.. Terrible video even if it was HD.. You’re flying so high you can’t get a feel of how fast it is.. If you going to do a “fast” video make it look fast.. Helps to fly over things brains can relate the size.. That didn’t “look” fast at all..
Thanks and yes, the video was low quality trash. I did another one on a different frame (4s and 6s runs) using a caddx turtle:
Why only 30A ESC? Page is missing…
So fast!
I got a question pls answer me somebody:Can I reach the same speed with the racestar fire edition 2500kv on 6s but all other components are the same like in the video?

Can you explain why you only used 30a escs? The link isn’t working
What kind of quad is this. The one in the video is like a rocket and very aero dynamic.
why are there this many dislikes?
