This thing will go 767.269 mph (scale speed)
Okay maybe not scale speed but it’s called the Mach 1 by Race Day Quads and it is exceptional. It comes in at 288 grams with tpu arm guards, regular arms, and racekraft props, and with lighter props, no arm guards, and race arms, it comes in at 259 grams. I’m pretty happy with this build regarding it has plenty of power for its weight. The Deadpool motors are wicked quick on anything less that 280 grams while already being fast on anything around the 300 gram mark. At 259 grams these motors are torque queens even though they are high KV as well. The 2306 stator makes up for the torque loss. More importantly, this things is pretty darn durable for a race frame with replaceable arms. I think the tick bottom plate on this quad really does a good job with helping the arms hold up.

Dude this one of the sweetest builds I have seen. What is your take on Brother Hobby motors? Have you checked out the new EFAW motor? (Earth, Fire, Air and Water). These have got to be some bad ass motors. I would like to try them out on this frame, since it is such a simple, clean, lightweight yet strong build. Definitely one slick build, I love it.
Thanks for the kind words my man! Yeah these motors are the bomb.com and I think you’ll like the EFAW motors - I’d say give them a try! Just a heads up that there not going to be very durable on this frame because the arms tend to come loose on heavy crashes with heavier motors. If I were you, I’d get some of the new F40 Pro 2 motors instead. They will be faster around a track. The EFAW motors are like a Bugatti and the F40s are like a Porsche 918. One is a race car and one is a drag car. Power doesn’t always mean speed when it comes to race tracks ;)
It’s fine. If you get a cheap one they arn’t the best but if you get the TBS one they are pretty good. If you’re in an open field racing you won’t loose much video, but if you are trying to go behind houses or thick trees you won’t have best video. On my race builds I tend to stick with the tbs dipole and 200mw vtx but on my daily driver I have an 800mw vtx and VAS/TBS IONs or Triumphs.
This is certainly one of the prettiest drones I've seen. Love the color scheme and the clean build. Heck it looks wicked fast too. Great Job man!
Thanks brother! Definitely one of the fastest I have built so far! Even faster when I shave about 28 grams of weight with the race arms and the TPU arm guards left off! Then it gets cooking! The stretched frame gives very little cavitation through the turns and I would highly highly recommend picking one up if you get the chance.
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..
Read moreWith 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..
