I think some tests have shown that they're better (more efficient/more torque). TBH I haven't noticed a huge difference, but I think they're just as good, at least, and they were cheaper if you get them from GearBest.

They have the same crappy stiff wire as the Racerstars, though, which can make them tricky to solder to the ESC. Airblade sells a version of the Eaglepower 1103's that have flexible wires, shipping from Canada, just a bit more pricey.

Thanks for the reply!! i might be able to add my own wire if thats the case. Thanks again!!

Sure thing. Using your own wire isn't a bad idea, check out this tutorial from fishpepper: https://fishpepper.de/2017/09/08/tutorial-replacing-stiff-motor-wires-with-flexible-ones-no-more-breaking-wires-br1103b/

It's just a bit of work to do it for all 4 motors :-).

time to find some really tiny wire hahah

I don't know exactly, but something around 3:00 to 3:30 I think. I didn't notice a massive difference between the 2" and 2.5" versions, but I was also changing a lot of things at the same time (battery size, frame size/weight, prop size), so can't say for sure.

thankss~ i finished my build too which is similar to yours but different frame (since it doesnt shipe here)

Cool!

The cam mount is the same configuration/dimensions as the Falcon Multirotors Tinyshark: a little tray that holds the cam and mounts to the two front electronics stack screws, underneath the ESC. Here are the designs from Falcon Multirotors for the Tinyshark mount: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2608546

Good luck! Would love to hear how your build turns out :)

Thanks! Yeah, I've been eyeing the circular monkey bars, just haven't worked up the nerve :-) Will give it a go next time though!

Worst that happens is you crashand fall a few feet. Those tend to do less damage than most of my normal, head-on crashes.

Also, I lowered my rates after I saw this and went to the playground and it was great! Lower rates makes it harder to overcorrect and playgrounds become much more fun :)

Nice - I've been meaning to try lower rates, just been hesitant to mess with it. I'm at ~1111 deg/s on all axes (RC rate 1.0, Super 0.83). I tend to push it too far especially on yaw, but I've been keeping everything the same because I keep meaning to learn inverted yaw spins :D

I haven't been paying that much attention, but flight times are surprisingly good considering it's not that light. I would guess 3-4 minutes of freestyle on 450-500mah typically.
