                  Racer X Mutant 4"

Since im addicted to building quads , I figured i should build my first 4". Wasnt trying to build the lightest nor the heaviest of quads, just something that flew well, and was fast. I think I achieved that.

****Still tuning, might try 1606 4000kv motors.

I did try emax 1606 4000kv motors, and did not notice a performance increase, just less efficient. Put the Brother Hobby 1507 4100kv motors back on. Took a lot of tuning to get to fly the way i like, but must say this is my fastest quad i have. Its an absolute rocket ship, and fun to fly.

Hi there ! I have used exactly the same FC - Mamba mini MK3 , connected my crossfire nano wiring exactly the same as your photo. I have enabled Serial Rx on UART1 in Betaflight but I am getting no stick inputs at all. The Crossfire is succesfully bound - did you have this issue ? Can you think of anything I might be doing wrong ??

Boeseefus Jun 23, 2020

Have you made sure your crossfire module & receiver are on same firmware? I use a Nirvana transmitter and i had issues with the latest firmware of crossfire, and had to downgrade to few versions below. When i get a chance ill check my betaflight config, and make sure i didnt have to do anything unusual to get this to work.

Gtchaz Jun 23, 2020

Yes - when I bound the crossfire nano to my Tango 2 , it automatically updated the receiver and bound successfully - so i assume they are on same firmware.

Did you ever get your receiver going? Sorry for slow response, haven't even had time to even fly lately.

Boeseefus Feb 28, 2020

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
