*Finally* a build video of someone who actually knows what he is doing. Really smart component selection and perfect execution. Have fun in the races.

@jana171 4 года назад

Finally someone that knows a little bit about soldering and wiring esthetics. Twas an easy-to-watch video and a very explanatory build. Loved it and subscribed instantly !

@SugarFPV 4 года назад

Awesome Setup dude! Love the fact that the VTX and the RX is one little package with the FC. ;)

@rcpete7055 4 года назад

A build like that is not cheap for the components.. 🤔Always enjoyable to watch.. I remember building along with your floss builds in 2015/16.. How time flies.. ✌️

@primoziskra6394 3 года назад

I was also burning standofs. Than I start puting a short piece of silicone tube on while soldering. You can get this tube in local RC shop. They are using it for metanol fuel. You can also use silicone gumies for softmount FC.

@italosilva4029 4 года назад

Excited to see the first flight 🥺

@SQuiDFPV 3 года назад

Excellent quality here! close ups are awesome. I use the same esc and also can't use the gummies either. I hope they adjust the size of the holes.

@philipstrom6966 4 года назад

Nice job on the build 😁👌 looks great , just one little thing I noticed was when you was soldering the flight controler on top of your motor 😱 bit scary if a little solder goes inside , but everything was very cool 👍🏼 nice work

@pow9606 3 года назад

They don't seem to stock the 1900kv motors. They have the 1800kv. is 1800kv version OK or can you recommend an alternative? Thanks.

@Krunked 4 года назад

super clean -- i wanna use that FC :)

@wrx6622 4 года назад

But I have a question ? After you finish building it , you just put the battery on the drone and start it up ? And what about the controller ?

@illpro2 4 года назад

For future builds you could use metal stack screws just to hold it in place until your done soldering then swap them out for plastic.

@MrGone2k 4 года назад

Love the close up shots showing the build details! Do you think the stack would work well in a long range build with VTX cranked up to max output or would it need more breathing room? I think I still may try it just for the neat spot to mount the crossfire rx alone.

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

It would probably be fine, but in a long range build where there's plenty of room, might as well spread it out. Could just run wires to the pads to separate and cool everything if you still wanted to use this fc.

@angelfpv4825 4 года назад

finally!!! waiting for this video for a while hahaha

@donphobos 2 года назад

I love the speed estimate for the pins you cut off the headers. Rather accurate, they fly approximately transsonic speeds across the room :-)

@charleswarwick4849 4 года назад

Did you say the stack screws are nylon? Is that a weight savings? I always hated how often nylon standoffs would break so I went to steel screws. Have you not had issues with breaks?

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Yes, I prefer to save my stack and have the screws break instead. It's annoying at times, but I haven't had an egregious amount of issues.

@chunderfpv 4 года назад

At 20 min you mentioned using the flipped cable to connect the ESC and FC. I did that and burned the FC. It's the wrong cable. Or maybe your version was different?

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Sometimes cables change or multiples are included, you always need to verify where each wire is going to be sure.

@chunderfpv 4 года назад

@@TheRCAddict first time I encountered the power and ground on the other side. Another expensive lesson learned.

@jboxfpv3303 4 года назад

My pervious kwad was 300g without props and now I’ve dropped to 275 without props. I noticed a HUGE HUGE performance upgrade, did you? I also went to vertical arms so it “feels” pretty similar with how it corners. It’s just a hell of a lot faster

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Dropping 25g is definitely noticeable yeah.

@pippifpv 4 года назад

I just dropped 50g from a 600g uaw to a 550auw freestyle rig.. Huuge difference too.. I'm not much in to racing though

@dryink7735 3 года назад

Does the lipo battery catch fire even though you're not using your drone or it will catch fire only when you neglect charging it thank man

@TheRCAddict 3 года назад

When a battery is above or below it's nominal state it is taking damage. The higher or lower it is, say 3v per cell or 4.4v per cell the worse it is. As long as you aren't storing batteries at very high charge levels there is almost zero chance it will explode. It may drop a cell or weaken but won't explode. Explosions or fire happen when charging incorrectly almost always. Say a pack drops a cell to 0 while you aren't using it then you plug it in parallel to charge and it heats up so much it goes into thermal runaway. Just make sure to always check the battery isn't physically damaged and check the voltages before charging.

@chansaechao79 4 года назад

a couple years ago I dunked a 4" into a puddle and only killed one motor. I used clear nail polish.

@JT-jy2sy 4 года назад

Re liquid electrical tape to secure the ufl connection. If you have to replace the pigtail antenna can it be done without breaking the ufl connector on the vtx? I use mcx connector but for smaller build not very ideal. Ufl connector I found can become loose. Happened twice to me. I have been looking for solution to secure it with option for repair.

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Yes, it peels off pretty cleanly

@keg9776 4 года назад

This is, the best build video I have seen so far. Great job. I would still need to get my build under the magic 250 gram number. Just wondering, can you add a GPS to this flight controller?

Not too familiar with gps, but should be able to add it to a free uart just fine

@6axisaerial921 3 года назад

Nice build, only issue I see with it is you cant quickly change a receiver or vtx. I like how Evan does it where he mounts receiver and vtx to the bottom of the top plate.

@TheRCAddict 3 года назад

My build isn't meant to function like that though. Just a different choice, nothing wrong. I have never broke a VTX or RX building like this.

@6axisaerial921 3 года назад

@@TheRCAddict I know some people aren't a fan of mounting them using the pins. I guess it just comes down to preference.

@bennymack78 4 года назад

Too lazy to look it up... Do these frames use shoulder screws for the TPU stuff bolted to the top plate? If not, they should :)

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Shoulder screws? You mean ones with wider heads? They're just normal screws.

@bennymack78 4 года назад

@@TheRCAddict can look them up on amazon. They basically have a step between the threads and the head. This allows the bolt to clamp on carbon AND hold the TPU part down. I believe this creates a much stronger structure. Bolting down on TPU means that a sideways force like from a crash can more easily bend the standoffs and push the top plate aside.

@marlin-fpv 4 года назад

The RCAddict Yeah, the xing motors are really good but a bit on the heavy side though.

@Noical 4 года назад

I'd be careful with that esc... I gave it a try and it had voltage spikes that went up to 50v which killed 3 of my fc's before I realized that was the issue

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

How’d you measure these voltage spikes. I’ve had no problems so far in the 4 builds I’ve used it in.

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Really? From where? I genuinely want to know as I haven’t seen anything haha

@Noical 4 года назад

The RCAddict I measured the spikes using a digital oscilloscope

@tehllama42 4 года назад

I've had decent luck, but I'm running a 50V 660uF cap, and powering the FC indirectly off that cap... but I'm primarily running 5S (2250-2400KV) with that, which probably helps a bit too.

@TheRCAddict 4 года назад

Interesting. If I have any issues I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
