But it is made from drone parts.
I built this thing .
It makes me laugh .
So we have some dji type phantom 4 motors , the esc i am using are old pre blheli s little bee 20 amp . They should not be working , but they are and no matter what nasty things i do to it they have not failed yet.
Old flysky radio and recirver for controll . A pdb for pd and 5v for the reciever and a car led indicator globe the programable type for some flashing lights .
3d printed tpu treads , from thingyverse,
Some time spent mixing the sticks . and rip time.
3s 1500mah , endless fun drifting .
I have to mention there is a project using kiss esc and fc to run the beast , I would like to try this , if the fc is used to mix the motor output pid controlled traction controll would be sweet.

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..

So I have made something like this, and now i'm trying to get the FC to work. I looked at an old Powel video on how to get inav for rover to run a tank, but that's only got 2 spinning. Before I spend a million years trying to figure out programming and mixer in inav, how did you set your FC up?
Hi . No fc used just a pdb and 6 chanell reciever,
The left motors are on 1 chanell and the right motors on annother
an fc will be needed to program the esc , set bi directional , turn demag comp up . break on stop on etc.
mixing done in radio.
The Kiss / fettech version uses a kiss fc and has a car config, .
