Marmotte 5s screamer

After having miserable luck with 4in1 ESCs dying I decided to do a separate ESC/AIOFC build for my Marmotte frame.
It's clean, barebones, nothing unnecessary added.

5s is the sweet spot for freestyle giving the cost benefits of 4s, no battery sag and reasonably priced lipos. Only downside is limited motor options and the need for higher quality ESCs.

nice rigg, I have a frame in the mail should be here soon. my idea is similar same FC, Spedix 30HV’s feeding Xing 2207/1800kv, that should leave me some room for 6s hopefully.

Try get the spedix GS35 if possible. Has BLHeli_32 and a bit more capacity for around the same price.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
