RoboCat 270 is a FPV Racing Quadcopter kit that comes with basic components for you to put together a great looking FPV Racing Quadcopter. It’s a 270mm FPV Racing Quadcopter frame that has great looks. In order to make it fly, you will need a 6 channel radio control system with a 6 channel Receiver, and a 11.1v 2200mAh Lipo Battery.
RoboCat 270 is supplied by gearbest as a kit that contains RoboCat 270 frame, motors, Speed controllers, propellers, Power distribution board and a CC3D Flight controller. Building it is a totally pain because there is no user manual or assembly manual in the box, so you are left alone all by yourself to judge how to build it or you better watch online videos to learn to build it right.
Frame itself is a great looking and tough frame. Very easy to build. But the supplied electronics and components like motors, propellers, and speed controllers are nothing but rubbish and cheapest possible quality. Motors that came in the box, one of them was already binding due to bent shaft, Speed controllers were cheapest quality older simonK firmware, and propellers were totally soft and cheapest quality as well. As expected the power combo failed on very first flight right after a minute of flight.
Anyway enjoy this video, unboxing and then short flight video and our conclusion. If you want RoboCat to be a superb FPV Racing Quadcopter, you will have to use quality motors, props, ESCs and then you will have a great flying Rough and tough FPV Racing quadcopter in your hands.
I suggest you only order the frame kit and build it with your own trusted power combo. Do not go for the one that is supplied with the quadcopter, its nothing but crap.

I seen this quadcopter before on the UK website for interviewing the guy that said he created it but then I looked at it and he went to the functions of the quadcopter and had the same tilt mechanism you have on yours I just want to know are you in partnership with him or not

Thanks for the good review sir 🙂

Hey Ali 🙂
Since it is the age of super copy, can you suggest to the chinese manufacturers to also copy the last over price HD video transmission called Connex Prosight HD in order to bring back some cheap HD video transmission on the market :p
Motors look more like SunnySky knock-offs
Wow sand, I had sand in my tmotors. Had to flush them with water right away. II think fairings are the future of mini’s but not plastic full cf or kevlar with only motors exposed for durability.
+ABMNS PRODUCTION As long as they reduce the cigarette box size vtx it uses. Sorta at the f450 stage of hd fpv i think LOL! A crew guy on a set the other day dropped a HD vrx screen they were using for framing the shots from main cam. You could buy 6-8 Connex for the cost of it. If the connex still blocks out and has video drops it will be bad but at $499. not sure knock offs will get lower than $349.
+Hoverbot1TV No matter what… I can’t waist my money on chinese knock-offs anymore. They arrive broken or brake not long after. Btw I bought this robocat knock-off and it is used for spare parts for my other quads. The quality of the carbon is crap, was missing a standoff, camera mount and xt60 bracket. And my hands were black from carbon dust. This purchase was the last straw for me. Go brand name or gtfo from now on ?
+Bryan M Can’t believe I just wrote brake lol… getting late.
+xjet No Bruce, Some Crappy Knock offs Knock Offs Knock off 😀
+Hoverbot1TV tell me bout it
S.A Ali, do you like flying in the desert? Can’t imagine the amount of sand that will make it into your motors :/
+Salerg we all survive the sand. so do the motors 😀
+alishanmao At least it’s not magnetic sand there here it is full of magnitite. Jams rotors real well and scratches coil enamel! Soap, water and toothbrush flying LOL!

+alishanmao Howdy brother! Hmmm that is a shame man! 🙁 Well in that case I will Not get one.. I thought something was wrong, as I had not seen anything about that on your channel..
Cheers!
“quick review” > duration: 10mins WTF?!
I think the factory you hired is making your OFM 280 Tilt Rotor and is selling it on banggood, Even the pictures say OFM. Is this you or a rip off?
Oh I like it already Sir!?
TNX Ali.. i am glad to build my own ( mini ) Quads and can choose my own components… last one i have build is a ZMR-180 with a good Carbon frame….. seeing you there in the Dessert…sand..sand..sand…and in Summer it looks to me also extremely hot…. no..not for me…still love to flying here in the North of the Netherlands… Green grasslands…flat…between the cows.. 🙂 along the coastline…. greetings… Gerben
+AMA Thats exactly the same things and the same guy who backstabbed me. He was an old friend of mine. He signed a clear contract with me. He was very eager and calling me daily, promising many things asking me to bring my design to him. after signing contract, I brought my kit to him. 3 days later he got the quad ready. I tested, improved and approved. He started mass production in 3 weeks and once the sales started he never called back.
I kept calling asking about sales so I can calculate my profit share. but he kept lying. He sold 60 pcs to Foxtech Hobby. Mr. Fu clearly accepted on phone and shown me purchase order. But when I asked him, he said, no Foxtech has no confirm order. What a backstabbing friend.
I saw him in Beijing hobbyshow and he did not even bother to look at me. What a nice friend.
If you wanna know the bugger. he is Andy, From Shantou, Lanyu Hobby. I will never trust Chinese businessmen ever again after this last episode. and I will never ever support Lanyu and their products ever again.
+gewema I so much want to see Netherlands. 😀 the cows and green grass flatlands 😀
+DutchRC Adventures On Banggood, selling swift TR260, Thats exactly the same things and the same guy who backstabbed me. He was an old friend of mine. He signed a clear contract with me.

Lanyu Hobby = Biggest cheating crap selling morons
+alishanmao Note that the quad on BG actually says ‘OFM’ on the shell.. But well.. in this case I won’t be testing / supporting it offcourse..
Sorry you got dealt a bad hand in this mate 😐
+DutchRC Adventures I will message the moron to remove my site and my logos from this crap. honestly his mass production is nothing but crap. Last mass produced sample he sent me to make videos. I did not make videos and I asked him to not to sell. but he kept insisting and even offered me 5000 CNY to make a video for him to sell. I refused that I can not promote a crappy product under my name.
I believe thats where he got angry and stopped responding and kicked me out of this venture because I did not support to sell crap for him.
Thanks for support and please spread the word that OFM or AliShanMao is no more connected to this crap swift 260 anymore and that do not support this company Lanyu hobby and this quad please.
+alishanmao Damn! Sorry to hear that. Better put a notice up in your next video. Hopefully they don’t sell any units.
@alishanmao Damn! Sorry to hear that. Better put a notice up in your next video. Hopefully they don’t sell any units.
lol so what is the original all these are copying??
Foxtech will announce something in June 😉
+damlurker Original is still with me. The only piece in this world left maybe 😀
+AMA I am going to put annotations on all my videos regarding this. I have written to Banggood today as well to remove any OFM traces and or alishanmao name from this product. I have had a quarrel today online with my partner as well and I have given him 48 hours to remove all OFM, Onlyflyingmachines or alishanmao words and stop using my videos to promote his crap. after 48 hours I will post clear notices and warnings on all Swift videos about this cheating backstabbing person. Then Dealers should start backtracking on his face and ask for refund
+ABMNS PRODUCTION I saw you dropping that reminder to master Fu LOL! crazy little airhog plane he had there, too bad real f35 still cannot fly well.

+alishanmao akhi I’m sorry to hear that and i fortunately that what you get when you are kind!!! However if you want to provide me with some details i will try to open a case in Germany and therefore in the EU against these people so that they can’t sell or show your stolen ideas here!! And say hi to that asshole from me :@
Hello Sir, a year ago you made a big claim on long range TX RX system. Scherrer TSLR and no show . What happened? you never used it. Why?
+alishanmao say the truth a lot of people are tired of quadcopters I should be fascinated by them but up until five months ago when I started seeing a lot of people on YouTube half in cockpit cameras on ETFs and on Prop planes it blew my mind and there’s still a big market for this and this could be your rebound

+viperwelding it fried on 3S LOL imagine 4S
+Gilberto Sedo claim failed. I tried it and I got hardly 500 meter range. I spoke to Company and did not get any quality support. SO I did not post or promote this system
+Gladbi M Sure thing. Please email me. my email you can find in video description. I can give you details and provide my contract with this backstabbing friend. I will highly appreciate if you can block Lanyu from selling this product in EU and Germany.
+Jason Garnett You mean making a scaled cockpit on RC Planes / Small fast flying wings? If so, Thats what i am going to try this week 😀 I got two sweet Fast flying wings that I plan to maiden today and then set them up with FPV System
I ran emax 2300kv no issues bein racing for 7 months now

I can’t wait to see the video!!!!
That you for your answer about the Scherrer product, You Sir are a honest man. What impress me the most is that you did not say anything negative about them afterwards. Peace and Good bless you.
+DutchRC Adventures the previous msg probably would in spam? 😛
mine came with e max motors. no problems with them
U dont live in china anymore ali?
+AbdelRahman ElHijazi You are welcome Bro. Next we do some more reviews together. Still we gotta review DJI PHantom 4 😀
+Dope Frames glad i left
+Gilberto Sedo I do not want to say negative. Mine could have been a faulty unit. Could be possible china has more interference for their structure. They are good people with strong support
+Paul Carpenter Welcome
NOOOOO! NOT A CC3D!
thanks for honest review …
????
im out of 107.00 buying the kit, had no idea power combo was so poor in quality. question, now that im on a even tighter budget what esc, props, and motors you recommend for this quad that is good and at a low cost?
I plan to put in Cobra Motors, MT 30A BL Heli ESCs and spin 3 blade 6 inch props 🙂 it will be crazy
Crazy indeed.
that frame looks so cute! <3 the tarot TL250C is conciderably lighter, but not nealy as "firendly" looking. both have the problem that you cant buy spare arms, though
Keep your fucked up religion to ur srlf
man, I know that the quality of the engines is not good..but how do you expect that the 12a esc support that props
now now Brendan, what did I say about not taking your meds. i’m so sorry for his behavior .
Is he your relative or son? or you are just insulting him. cuz if you are insulting him, please do it more. he needs it often to stay calm
OEM of OEM of OEM of … so true! Man, you’re brilliant 🙂
It is like lottery.
It is like lottery.
Those motors doesn’t like DYS, and DYS only use nylock nuts on their motors
Those motors looks like sunnysky motors
Hi alishanmao. I Was looking at yours videos for a good FPV racing quadcopter, add I could not find one that you really recommend. In all the vids. That I seen, is always a defect or poor design on them… I am looking for something RTF or ARF and around $150 to $250 USD. Can you suggest me one?
I don’t think you could call that a review. Maybe a Gearbest quality control review…
wait for my new review. loving that quad :)it comes RTF from Banggood. GX210
can you share you 4s kit details…? (brands/names/links to purchase)..?
Brendan Brown No matter what cultural or religious background he has, we, the International Brotherhood Of Nerds welcome Ali in out middle and value him for what he’s doing.
