This is my next Gecko for build. I ended up going with Shark Byte on this build and have been pretty happy with it. I had originally planed to use a Kakute F7 Mini FC in this build but I couldn't get the 4 in 1 ESC to talk to the FC. So I swapped it out with a Mamba F722 Mini I had left over from another build. I'm also trying out the FPVCYCLE 2203 3450KV motors to see how they compare with the T-Motors I normally buy.
It took a little getting use to on its maiden flight out, but I am very happy with this build.

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..

wow nice build, would love to try those motors. I bet it rips
Yeah they are pretty smooth, quiet, yet powerful. They are a little hard to find though. One of these weekends I want to take this quad out with my other Gecko Analog using the T-Motor 2203.5 and see how they compare to each other.
I use the 2203.5's and compared to my old tmotor 1507's they are amazing.I just switched a week ago and they dont even get mildly hot no matter what I do. the 1507 had enough power but would get steaming hot, the 2203 also has more top end almost to the moon. I almost got the stanfpv motors but Im glad I got the tmotor
The 2203.5's are pretty nice. I'm gathering the parts for another Gecko 3 inch build were I'm gonna use the 2203.5's in this build. I'm looking forward to see what kind of performance I get. :-)
