This is the retail version of the Karearea Talon V2's, this one will only be using my custom pod, my Talon V2 Prototype I ran on Karearea Premium TOA 2207 1950kv, this one I have used the new Karearea TOA Turbine 2207 1950kv.
Also the paint job wasn't mean't to look like a Nike show......it just kind of turned out that way.
No idea if the paint will hold up without chipping off so I took a barage of picks while it still looks new :)

can you post files for your custom pod? I want to try it, and possibly modify it for my own!
No problem, it's essentially just a tweak of my same pod I used on my Talon PR adjusted for the V2;

I will try and get the revised V2 version. Keep in mind it's a tight build because it was designed around my stack and is purely function.
This is the Talon V2 version

My mates if you want something more form over function
I really like the "Nike" paint job! can you message me to tell me what kind of paint you used? its really sharp nice work!
So, how did the paint do? Any chipping?
Yeh unfortunately I don't think this is the sort of plastic that will play well with paint.
I used Dulux as a primer, then a flat black base, then DNA Paints purple / blue flip, masked it off and used White Knights Acrylic for another white coat, topped that with Flouro Yellow and finished it with a polyurethane high gloss acrylic clear but it is chipping in impacts unfortunately.
That creates a stiff layer of paint, which is prone to chipping. Using rubber coating like Plastidip would not chip but I guess it will scrape off during a crash. Since the frame is black I do not believe something like Rit Dye would work well and generate bright colors. Too bad. If anyone has an idea how to get color to this frame, I would be very interested.

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..

WAIT just a second now... I came because of the Talon v2.. But I'm seeing an electric foam Slow Poke?? With fpv?? I didn't know they updated the Slow Poke! I built up a balsa slow poke with brushless electric components, and the same exact color scheme, in probably 2018. It's been hanging from the ceiling since.. But I didn't realize it's been updated. Super cool!! How did the paint hold up on the Karearea Talon V2?? I'm building one that I just got off RCG. Thinking about painting it.. Everything looks so stellar here!! Thank you!
Just read some of the other replies, and how the paint is holding up. I might try hydrodipping.. Great idea!
