Ratkwad 3D

I love modifying cars so when I saw this frame I immediately bought it :P The parts I used for the build were just spares that I had leftover from other quads, I wouldnt recommend using the flight controller I used because the main battery solder pad spot means you have to mount the flight controller either 90 or 180 degrees offset which puts the battery cable out the side of the cab or the usb connector towards the rear. I'm waiting for my DJI FPV goggles and air unit to arrive so I can put that in; you can extend the front grill forward and it should give me enough space to mount the air unit in between the battery and cab. The only mod I did was melted the front part of the hood so I could get more angle out of the camera and it gets the battery and props out of view.

Love it! The "hot side pipe exhaust" look from the LED's is a great touch. Nice work with the usp port extension!
OMG looks like legit flying train/car ahahha. when i first saw this frame i was wondering about the motor wires cause the front motors are SOOOO FAR from the escs. what was it like making this sick lookin quad?
It was really cool to build, its my first quad that i actually cared about looks so it was fun to use LED's and take my time to plan things out a bit more aesthetically. You'll deffinitly need long wires or racewire for the front motors, the front arms are perfectly sized for racelite LED's along the body line which gives it that exhaust header look x)

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..
