Well, you have all already met Hyde.. this is his crazy side.. Jekyll.
It is essentially the same build as the last martian I posted but this one has a much more powerful set of motors. DYS 2205/2550 KV's. These things pack a serious punch and will require me to drop my Throttle midpoint even further.
This is a purpose built racer and I am hoping it survives next weekend =D

Wondering what you used to outline the frames? Liquid white out?
I love the build, you've encouraged me to buy the Martian III frame.
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..
Read moreWith 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..

Heyo Loose! I was just looking at this frame for a super cheap, budget build. How do you like it? Can that PDB be excluded?
Hmmm sort of yes sort of no.. it does provide some ammount of structural integrity since it is quite thick and beefy.
My advice is to use the PDB and then use a dropdown or direct Vbat for video system.
I ended up getting the Martian II, but it's a similar design. I'm using a 4-in-1 ESC so I'd like to avoid using the PDB, but maybe I can flip it over or something and use it for the structural integrity?
Yeah that should probably do the trick!
