Racing Package

This racing package was designed for beginners who want to make their own racer. The kit includes all the parts needed to build a 5' Racing Quad and Race Gate, as well as a Transmitter and FPV Goggles.

3D Printed Receiver Mount

To hold the FrSky Mini Receiver in place and protect it in the event of a crash, we designed and 3D printed a receiver mount using flexable filament to reduce vibration. In the second picture you can see that the side of the mount is slightly melted due to the printer not being calibrated properly.

Awesome! Can you put a link on camera mount?

With the black foam on the gate it will be really hard to see, would recommend white, yellow or orange foam, we use pool noodle foam.

I ended up wrapping it in christmas lights since we usually race in a dark gym.

so your flying a 5" drone indoors? We use pop up gates from amazon https://amzn.to/30ogZQY, and since it's indoors we keep to below sub 250 grams, less chance of injury and damage to the building.

Yeah, we usually race TinyHawks but since the gym/basketball court is is enormous there's room for a simple 5"track. We also race at a nearby park when the weather permits.

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..
