Let's build a lightweight tiny whoop with a top loading battery, carbon fiber frame, 3d printed parts and high KV motors.
For more information about this build and a list of the materials I used, check out my detailed article:

Wow, now that was a great tip on removing motor plugs. I am only a year in and had not heard that little life hack yet and it's game changing... Thank you

@nuxnik Месяц назад

Glad to help.

Top Video -- thanks for sharing your build

@nuxnik 2 месяца назад

Thanks, you bet.

@MADCOWVT 7 месяцев назад

Nice work. I really like the top mounted battery. Essentially that sandwiches the flight controller between the frame and the battery for even more protection.

@nuxnik 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment. That's exactly what I was going for. I also think the quad flies a bit different due to the center of weight being more in the middle.

@PrOpJuNkiE Месяц назад

Looks just like a little 🐢

Kind of does doesn't it? :D

@sticky_ricebowl 7 месяцев назад

wow just in time I'm also working on a CF whoop. I like the choice of parts and the quality of this video is really great. Looking forward to see any updates and changes you make!! especially with weight reduction

@nuxnik 7 месяцев назад

I remember checking out your ChopSticks frame design a few yeas ago - nice! Thanks for the comment. I am already testing some new improvements to the prototype. Weight reduction is my main focus right now. As I mentioned in the video, I'm replacing the screws (two peek one steel for each motor), swapping out the flight controller (f4 diamond) and making do with a simple wire VTX antenna. This should shave off some weight. I am also designing new 3d printable whoops and will (attempt to) print them in PP. We'll see where this rabbit hole leads :)

What a great take on a build! The most entertaining and well narrated vid I've seen. And a great soundtrack! Well done mate. Also liked and sub'd. Awesome.

@nuxnik 3 месяца назад

Thank you very much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@Greenhorn_FPV 7 месяцев назад

Great Video!!! When I grow up I hope to be like you!!! lol For real tho man, that build looks sick!!! The video was entertaining and loved the old bangers. Bravo!!!

@nuxnik 7 месяцев назад

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Glad you liked the video. I'm gonna follow up with a part two soon and try and reduce the weight. Thanks again :D

Nicely done, you are an inspiration to get me to work on my Mobi6 to a 65mm fractal diy.

@nuxnik 4 месяца назад

Nice! Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

@luisLP5752 4 месяца назад

I did somethibg alike but with the nanohawk. I got rid of the canopy and prop guards and just added new and stronger whoop guards and the newbeedrone canopy that Mr. Shutterbug suggested and some purple triblade props. Crashed and crashed no problem until my vtx went out. I couldnt stop staring at it bc of how cute it looked.

Nice

@matthewbradley8971 7 месяцев назад

How are you fitting 40mm props into the whoops of that 65mm frame? Those only hold 31mm props. You would need a 75mm whoop I would think.

@nuxnik 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for pointing that out. That is a mistake on my part. The props I used are Gemfan 1219 3 blade props. I am building another 75mm whoop in this style and I got them mixed up while I was editing. I'll update the video description and blog post. Thanks again! :D

whats a good screw kit for tiny whoops like u have there

@nuxnik 6 месяцев назад

A few years ago, I bought three of the following screw sets (different head types and colors). They work great for tiny whoops: aliexpress.com/item/1005002927407705.html

@carlhall2563 7 месяцев назад

Hey why did you rather solder the motor wires instead of using the plugs?

@nuxnik 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment and good question. I removed the motor plugs to cut down on weight. Less weight improves performance and provides longer flight times.

@Sprengmeista1 5 месяцев назад

Well, time to try to convince my wife to let me build one i guess

@nuxnik 5 месяцев назад

Ha! Tell me about it :D

I use a razor blade to trim ducts. Sandpaper takes too long

@nuxnik 2 месяца назад

I have recently been using my cheap grinder pen to smooth the ducts. Kind of like a mini Dremel tool - also good for removing solder mask on PCBs. It only take a few seconds to trim off the excess.

@PrOpJuNkiE Месяц назад

It's big enough to build as a 75mm right??

@nuxnik Месяц назад

I am working on building a 75mm version next. All the parts are on my bench, but I have been strapped for time the last few months. You could try it, but you'd probably need to make a few changes. The same carbon fiber frame is also available for 75mm. If you do build it, let us know how it turned out. If not, I'll eventually get around to making the video :D

@eulogy1981 5 месяцев назад

I think this looks better then fractal and the frames are way cheaper

@jessedaniel1246 7 месяцев назад

What fc did you use?

@nuxnik 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment. I used the crazybee F4 Lite

@jessedaniel1246 7 месяцев назад

@@nuxnikno problem thanks for responding I’m thinking of building one myself looks like it can take a beating

@nuxnik 6 месяцев назад

@@jessedaniel1246 nice! It can definitely take a beating. I have been using it a lot to practice tricks that usually end in a hard nose dive. So far, it keeps on ticking.
