I bought an hx100 from betafpv a long time ago. The esc smoked out of the box, so instead of heaving through the RMA process, I decided to just slap something together, not expecting it to work really.

This is a testimate, to all the hours of troubleshooting I have spent on large quads trying to get something to work. I literally slapped this together, and it flies just great.

The orignal specs for these 13500kv motors call for 1s batteries. I fly them with 2s. I also owe a lot of credit to the iflight micro stack with plug and play vtx. It is held on to the frame completely by rubber band. I cannot believe this flies nearly as good as it does.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
