After building the 3" Quadracer Nimbus and having a bunch of god_modes, we decided to rebuild one as a 3". The great part about the Nimbus and God_mode is that 3" arms are interchangebale and available as a direct substitute for the 5" arms. Like the bigger brother god_mode, we like the following features:

• ability to neatly "double-strap" bottom-mount battery (although the 3" arms are thinner, and mean fitting 2 robust straps through is tough -may need to find lighter straps)
• easy build - good fitment
• neat axii holder
• tpu based camera holder

So with the ability to reuse the main quad (even with 30x30mm stack) its a quick and easy swap. In this case we downsized the stack too.

For motors we have gone Xnova 1407 3500kv, recommended as a good kv range for 4S on a robust 3" build. The motors come with screws that fit the 4 hole frame perfectly.

For electronics, we could have used the 30x30 stack from our other quads. But to get with the micro theme, we downsized with the Mamba 20x20 stack, with 20amp escs (burst 25amp) and F4 flight controller. The FC has no amazing features, but has everything we needed. The stack takes M3 screws, so we have run some 30mm plastic M3s through the 20x20 (non structural) holes to hold the lot together (this replaces the long M2 screws and white plastic spaces that come with the Mamba, as they wouldnt have been long enough, and i think would not fit the m3 holes in the numbus bottom plate.)

We then installed a 20x20 plate from Phaser (drilled out to 30mm) to mount the HGLRC nano VTX and and XM+. The HGLRC nano VTX is super tiny and super cheap - haven't had one go bad yet. We have reverted back to UFL VTX's, as we have broken a bunch of MMCX ones - they just dont seem to fit or hold up as well (we always hold down the UFL to the board with heatshrink for security). So on this build we have fitted up an AXII to the HGLRC and heat shrinked it down.

Anothe feature for this quad is the XT30 capactor adaptor. Seems neat.

Have powered it all with some Tattu 75c 4s packs. We are finding flight times a bit short - struggling to complete a race on high pitch props. It seems ok on lower pitch props.

Props are an issue, as there is less variety available than in 5". We havesome new HQ ones. A high pitch one that smashes the battery, and a more reasonable low pitch on. Both are very durable - more durable than the Dalprops.
