    my drone is now a submarine

    Hey thanks for the kind words. Yeah I'll build a new one for sure, just a matter of time really. I'd short circuit if I lost a mavic hahah.

    my drone is now a submarine

    Thought I should share this 9999 IQ moment of mine. Took it to fly at my friend's vacation house. Felt like I packed everything I needed, even triple checked. I get there, my friends are looking at the drone amazed, I'm feeling proud. I set everything up to fly over the river the house is...

    Choosing the Best RC Transmitter for FPV drone

    I use the FrSky Taranis X9 Lite. Has all I need for now. I just wish FrSky didn't pull a fast one and release an S model a few months later with everything that should've been in the original. My next radio probably will be a TBS Tango 3, whenever that comes out. Personally, the classic square...

    Best strategy? Buying backup copies of one quad, or different types? Or buying spare parts separately?

    Hmm, it seems a little expensive to me to keep buying $200 worth of equipment just to replace a few parts at a time. Might it be more worth your money to build something from scratch using affordable but good parts so that you only buy and replace what's broken? I broke two motors recently and I...

    Need help buying the correct parts for my first racing drone.

    @HighTechPauper an update, two of the pacer motors already starting to show signs of wear, when I spin the motors by hand it makes scraping noises on the inside, and the vibrate a lot more than the good ones. I didn't crash into anything hard either, been messing around on grass and dirt. Opened...

    What a drone is worth buying for me

    Yeah as @HighTechPauper mentioned, the EV800D internal battery is pretty garbage, doesnt hold charge that well, but you do get a 3s to dc cable for external batteries, all you need is a 3s lipo then you should be good to go. I dunno personally, I would hesitate to spend a good chunk of money for...

    Mamba f405 red light of DEATH!!!!

    Hmm, someone else can go through diagnosing the problem since I'm not good at that, but I'd recommend the CLracing F7 V2.1 MPU6000. Have been using it without issue. Just make sure to wire it up correctly to your escs. But before you make a purchase, wait for someone to walk you through...

    Question about the R9M Lite Pro

    Hi, I have been thinking about getting a 900mhz system for my drone just so I can have peace of mind about never losing RC link. I know that the TBS Crossfire is the best of the best, but also comes with a heavy price tag. Is the Frsky R9M Lite Pro a good cheaper alternative? Are there any fatal...
