Th3 Reap3r..

I call this Th3 Reap3r.

Rotaro Mjölnir 2308-2600kv.. Insanity on 4S, ridiculous on 6S! Bolted onto the Rotaro ReaperBago, a 44gram "twig frame" with 30A Aikons & 35V-370uF caps tucked neatly away under the arms to reduce surface area.

Surprisingly, this seemingly flimsy thing is holding together quite well... considering.. and has brushed off apex speeds into metal poles more than once.

Rated for 1kW each, these Mjölnirs go fast no matter what we throw at them. 5x4x3, 5x4x4, 5x45x3hbn, 5046 Cyclone, 5051's, APC5x4.3, even hq5045 and 5045hbn.

5046 Cyclone on 6s.. is unreal..

This kind of power does not come for free, yet the Ultras and R-lines handle it just fine, even on the heavier props.

Since it'll drain your battery dry in less than 60 seconds if you let it, it's nice to have a way to monitor the volts and amps.
This thing is putting the 184A rated HubOSD to the test.

284g without battery. Could probably do with a little less tape :P

Still in the process of taming this one... please ignore the treechunks.

Would you say 35v capacitors are enough for 6s? trying to build something with these motors too and would like to have it be 6s capable.

Daaaaaaaaaamn! This thing must be crazy! Is there any more data available around the Mjolnir motor's performance numbers? I'm curious about the actual amp draw and interesting that they're rated for 1kW of power!

Oh it is :D Way too fast for me still.. But getting there.

Hopefully we'll get some results from MQTB soon.. If I get lucky I get to test them before that. A fellow fpv'er mentioned he has access to some real test equipment. Would be interesting to see the numbers.

If the weather allows it today, I'll pop on a gps and see just how fast it really is.

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..
