My Race Quads and What I Have Learned the Past Few Months
You don’t need the best gear to win, the pilot wins. However having a powerful light weight quad certainly helps and will turn much quicker.

Rcaddict, what happened to the Hyperbaby?
What motors u have used and in your opinion can take a lot of beating? I have scorpion motors and they started to have vibration visually in the video after a few crashes. In contrast my emax got smashed up much more and it still stay true. Looking at the blackbox my beaten up emax motors have much much less vibration compare to new set of scorpion.
Another great video! Thanks for the illustration of your development in this hobby! You REALLY rock!!
good luck for the weekend
tell us about your racing rates as well as curves please ๐
Ideas on shedding weight off your Rampage?
Hey Seth !
I would like to change my old multistar 2205 2300kv for better motors on a 5inch alien. What do you think about the emax rs2205s in term of power and durability? In fact I don’t want expensive and killing batteries 2207 motors on my (heavy) quad.
Is that ร good 2205? Other ideas in 2205 or 2206?
Thanks ๐
I built your Rampage. Happy to know that the Rampage can clock in at 100mph.
Are those 2207 2550kv motors the same motors as the hyperlite 2207 2552kv? I want to get them is they are.
Great vid once again! Looking forward to your frame release. Any chance there will be other variations or just strictly racer?
I know this sounds strange ..BUT I just am building this an want an opinion?(soldering as I type lol) Is this an ok build low budget but love to fly. F3 acro 6/dof deluxe fc, racestar rs30a esc, matek pdb xpw, emax rs2205-2300 motors, on a realtacc x-210 frame an cyclone t5045c to top it off??
Seth, is your 230-280 gram target weight including props?
Excellent video! Saved it to my favorites. I’ll be referring to this for camera and antenna equipment. Especially for range. I was blown away when u said u were getting up to a mile before any break up. I have a lot to learn, Great stuff thanks.
Would it be possible for you to do a tuning video of how you tune a race quad, I see a lot of vids on tuning for a smooth freestyle quad but haven’t found any on what racers look for. Is it the same thing? Different preferences? I started with heavy freestyle boats and have recently gotten into ultralights and really enjoy the way they fly… wanna start getting into racing and am curious to hear thoughts from that side of the spectrum.
Do you know how the t motor air 40 compare to the motor with the 2205 motor link?
what rates do i set to get quicker flips?
I see on all but your first two quads you run the motors spin in opposite direction to standard I was only thinking about this today as I can see it throwing debris away from the lens rather than into it and not having such a dramatic affect touching gates by accident. Does it affect the way it flies if so for better or worse,
Is the durability of the brotherhobby r3 good enough? Especially of the alu shaft? On paper i love these motors and i wanna buy some of these but the shaft makes me struggle
