This is my Armattan Tadpole I call "Slightly Stupid". It is just about as fast as I could afford to build it, with a 4s battery, 6000kv motors, and 3x3 props. An oversized battery plus the fastest motor and prop combo I can run without it overheating makes this little quad terrifyingly fast.

I am running a BetaFPV AIO board, T-Motor M1106's in the front and Eachine 1204's in the rear(slowly swapping them to T-Motor as I break them), HQProp 3x3 props, and a Tattu R-Line 850mah 4s Lipo.

The camera is a Caddx Turbo EOS 2, which came with the Tyro89 I initially salvaged for this build. The VTX I am running is a Happymodel OVX303

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