By Cheredanine on Mar 23, 2018Needed something small and light to take with me on family trip, so built 3 inch Vandal 1407. frame is a bit pricey due to Armattan productions cut to order but it is 4mm base plate and 26grams including metal hardware, only gonna have to do it once.
Turned out nice and zippy, well under 250grams, the brother 4100kv motors are something of a lipo eater, running it on 4s 850mah but i like it, seems to fit the brief
bits i used that are not included:
aluminum standoffs and bolts, 3d printed cam mount, 3d printed antenna mounts, 470uf low esr cap
you can see in the vid hiw the quad wants to be light as bolts fly off in the secind clip :)
