Who says you need to spend 300 bucks to get an awesome racing setup? The base for this build is only 164. With props and a receiver, you have a RTF top of the line racing quad for only 180. I've built two of these with just slightly different motors. This mamba stack is bullet-proof!

I took these pics before i got the antenna, so I have just a little whip antenna on there. Also, this is quite a sloppy build. I've rebuilt it again with the same exact parts but pristine this time.

I've also sourced all the links for the parts to the greatest FPV websites in the world; Pyrodrone and RaceDayQuads. Fast free shipping, awesome customer service, and you get what you pay for.

And some footage of it flying? I'm not the best racing pilot but I gave it a shot

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..
