I wanted to build something specifically for races but still keep the costs low - this is the result I came up with.

If somebody want's to get his quad build by me, please just let me know

Hi I have a old g210 with f3 fc. I want to replace this fc with a f4 and all in one stack. Can u recommend something where the esc are in a board form and not individual.

Love the clean build! Did you have to modify anything to make the pod fit? The one I received had the front holes 33mm vs the 30.5 spacing on the frame. Thx for sharing your work.

That is a nice build! Love how you have the esc wires arraiged. I'm actually working on a similar build today lol.

I just noticed that the edges of the frame are rounded off, how did you do that?

Yup, I always round of the edges of my frames. It prevents them from delamination when crashing into concrete and in general looks a lot nicer.

I would suggest NOT to ziptie the elco to the battery's connector as you may damage it. The build is super elegant though, well done.

Actually, I've relocated the capacitor to the front of the flight controller. Now it sits vertically between the FC and FPV Cam.
Had to do it because I couldn't fit the Race Pod otherwise.

What size (diameter) are those black wire covers? I got some for my build but really struggled to get them on as I think they may have been too small!

Very slick build btw - love it!

I've got these cable sleevings from my local arts and craft store. They are 3 to 7mm sleevings.
It's a bit tricky to install them, basically, you have to compress them a bit and "snake" them over the cable.
This video explains it pretty good:

Is that a legit way to mount the motor wires? If so, I'm gonna do that!

faken   Jun 20, 2017 

Works just fine!
Actually, hat to mount them like this because the pod is super tight around the pads of the 4in1 ESC. So there was no way of mounting the wires outside. And with the sleeving, you don't have to worry about prop strikes.

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..
