After breaking arms multiple times I decide to do something. I design bracing arms to reinforce it.(See Parts) It is now strongger than my Smooth Operator. :) I also design many printed parts. (See Parts)
Maybe I will update the motors but for now the Samguk do the job.

I have used plenty of motors in my years in this hobby. I have used those samguks, and many other 2306's. There is NOTHING wrong with the samguks, you can get easier access to the bearings from other designs... if you even want that. Otherwise you're not gonna see big changes from swapping to any other 2306 on the market. Kv changes, you could do something with, but just swapping brands isn't gonna change anything signifigant. I am posting this because I ran them as my fist 2306's, and wondered if spending 50%-150% more would give me better thrust. The answer turns out to be no. I used them on 4s, and when I moved to 6s I did notice more thrust, but not untill then.
I ran (and still sometimes do) the 2550kv ones, I fly freestyle, and cine. They get a little too hungry on a heavy build (680g or more), want to hurt your battery.

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..

I very much like the highlight painting on the printed parts. It's the little things... but it really adds to the overall sci-fi dropship vibe you have going on here. Very nice looking bird.
How's it flying with the extra weight and drag?
thank you for the comment. I have redesign the front part a little bit since the photos.
For the brace it add a Little bit of drag and weight. About 40g. But it it did not kill the quad. It can now take so much beat... More than my Smooth Operator. Before I have break twice the front arms... I was affraid to push it. lol
