The Toothpick 

Dude have not told you lately but your pilot skills are insane. The first clip. Man that was a ride.

Great job, Bob. Honestly I think it’s great that you have a way to make some money from all your efforts at this point. You deserve it. You do a lot of testing and come to a lot of conclusions that other people don’t bother to spend the time to figure out. While, as a mechanical engineer, I sometimes cringe at some of the things you say even though you make it clear you’re just guessing (haha) I still think you have brought a lot of really good insight and knowledge to the FPV community and I hope you continue to do so by continuing to test many different things and many different combinations and figure out what actually works, no hype, and no BS. Kudos.

HOLLY MOTHER OF F.P.V.!!!!!!! It flys so goooood!!!! I need one!!! You need to biuld and sell this amazing tiny quad!!! It rips ball's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT FLYING 👍😀👍 If not i might need 2 buy all that gear you listed and it will be my 1st build!!!

It's funny seeing this come full circle. I got obsessed with micros about 2 or 3 years ago. After doing as much research and shopping around as I could, I ended up with some crappy 115mm 1.5mm carbon frame off Banggood, Racerstar 1103 10,000 kv motors, INDIVIDUAL 6a Racerstar ESCS (I don't think 4-in-1 ESCs were around yet), and the 65mmm KK props. BTW it's awesome you include the information about having to drill out your props to fit the 1.5mm shafts. I learned that the hard way after waiting 3 months for everything to arrive from China. I wanted a 2S setup, and bought some cheap 2S 350 mah batteries off Amazon. The AUW was around 70 grams (did not have camera/vtx. It was a LOS quad), and it flew okay. I was a little disappointed. My biggest complaint was the motors.They were cheap, rattly, and the shafts somehow popped through the bottom of the motor after pushing on too many props over the span of a few months. It's cool to see how much better the electronics are now, and I'm excited to try this setup again using "modern" technology....which I'm sure will be outdated in another 6 months :) Thanks for your hard work on the website. Looks great. I think I'm going to do the 1s configuration, mostly because I have a ton of 1s batteries and like the convenience of not having to balance charge haha

Plenty of people are going to support your business, keep up the great work. Really helps noobs on budget to have all your testing input and affiliate links to tested components of your builds.

You continue to improve this hobby. You're changing everything. Cheaper everything. Easier entry for beginners. Well done again.

can I just say... I think you are one of the best content creators on the internet.** As opposed to many, you are actually good at what you do; you put in the time, the work, and the research to present to your audience some of the most value packed videos around. There is no click bait, no bullshit, just videos that are valuable, and I leave feeling that my time was well spent. And on top of that you are not just putting out videos for the views and the money. You are working with companies, doing that research, and your own development to improve the hobby. You are the epitome of what a community member should be. With all that, I say, thank you. **(I do not know how to put into words; but looking at your content within a content niche, and comparing it to other niches and the content community as a whole, you know?)

Wow, your philosophy behind this product is inspiring. I'm excited about your website as a resource and store, plus you packed this video with tons of information and awesome flight footage. Flossed more in the last two months than ever before!!!

Have gotten into Micros lately and been flying 2inch models, the chunky 3s drop like a rock non floaty kind and this video has me pumped for my first toothpick frame coming in the mail. This is awesome stuff! great information, Thank you!

I was building similar things with the QX90 frames a couple years ago, with brushed motors. It was pretty crazy for 2016 on something that size, but even motors rated for 2S didn't last more than a couple hours worth of flight. The performance here with brushless is next level though.

Snagged a couple 3-hole frames. Looking forward to building! Fun because I already have most of the other parts I need!

I come back to watch this video once a month - just to marvel at the micro quad renaissance that we've experienced.

Looks great. Keen to build one as soon as you have all the parts in stock.

I have been watching all your toothpick videos and waiting for it to finally come out, although I already floss every day.

I’m definitely ordering one when my auto check deposit hits on Friday!!!! You completely deserve any funds that your designing, research, and testing can bring you! Take care n stay in the air!!! 👍🏼😎

Paused your video at 2 minutes in and just ordered the 3 hole ToothPick frame. I didn't want to miss out on this little beast. Can't wait to build it, fly it and probably crash it...a lot! This is awesome!!!

I admire what you are doing. Very cool. I prefer ultra lights. Diatone 515 style with 1806 motors and 3S 850 lipos. 8 to 10 min flights. Now using canopy from new Diatone/Tmotors with small Mamba. And 5" biblades

You should show the toothpick to every review Channel to get more traction because this thing has a lot of potential and especially that this whould be a perfect first safe simple quad with excellent performance. Love it. I NEED one :)

Glad you finally designed a website bob. We have been freeloading off you for far too long. Can’t wait for my toothpick. So stoked for it.

It's been a while that something in FPV land made me stare in amazement like the Toothpick does. It looks like crazy fun. Good thing you opened a shop for it so people can stop posting "shut up and take my money!" ;-). Thank you for all your research and sharing your findings. I think this could become the craze of next spring.

HA! So this has now morphed into basically the same specs of a build i have and still fly from 2 YEARS ago. ~68g w/ 450mah 2s KK65 1103 8000kv (however it does have a full range RX and 200mw VTX :: brushes shoulder ::). However - that build required (at the time) a custom frame, a custom camera mount, chasing down the right drill bit and hand drill, soldering each of the tiny NOT 4in1 esc’s, using a battery with a connector no one uses and building a custom parallel board to charge it. It all took forever and was the biggest pain (but was fun). And it was worth it to have something safer for city use and just learning. I also only made it after burning a bunch of 5” quads to the ground and getting frustrated. Would’ve been so awesome if an easy solution like this was available which a huge part of what is so exciting here! So exciting to have safe(r), easy solutions with such performance for beginners or people that don’t want to zip around with a flying chainsaw in public places. Well done! and thanks for passing along heaps heaps and heaps of information. Can’t wait to try those AMAX’s. My OG racerstars sound like i’m dragging a broken grocery cart across a parking lot :)

Take my damn money bob! Ordering my frame now, can’t wait for the motors and props to be available 👍🏻

smashed a few quads trying to fly like you. you can really rip dude. i love my 3' 4000kv baby hawk bi blade, they really fit my base criteria. long flight, long range, light weight, quiet, cheaper batteries, hd capability.

Cool, thanks. I'll check out your website and maybe buy one of these toothpick quads and try it out. I'm enjoying my Eachine Trashcan, and hearing you say that this is so much better definitely has piqued my interest

Buying one now. Once you get everything ironed out, a full kit like NBD does would be killer. Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Toothpick is here! I hope you have a bunch of them

It seems like we have a new class of quad copter, like the tinywhoop but for a similar purpose as 3 inch. The footage looks fantastic (some could confuse it with 5 inch quads) and if its not to expensive (which it looks like it won't be) I might need to keep some money aside to get one. Amazing work you might have created a real gem. edit: pls think about us international ppls. Would hate to not be able to get one or be forced to get a copy due to shipping bs. (I understand it can be an absolute pain though)

YESS! Ive been waiting patiently to hear its available,and here we are! I Love watching your videos, its nice to know im not the only person that wants to understand things completely and asks all the questions nobody else seems to. Awesome work mister! Thank You

This thing is fenomenal ! You've been helping me alot whilst getting into this hobby and I will for sure try to build this one once I get better at flying FPV. As always, great video! You are a legend my man!

Can't wait to fly like this dude. So smooth....

Going to be watching your site to keep up with this.. Wanting to build a small one, and this looks to really fit the bill.

I picked up some Eachine QX90s and QX100s on ebay. I really like these smaller quads. Great flying btw.

Thanks for doing this sir. I am in Canada and unfortunately, our politicians are trying to kill our hobby. I started with micros and then fell in love with 5-inch quads and started building my own. I am now faced with a decision on whether to stay in this hobby now. With all the negative media attention I am wondering how people will react here to the larger quads, so thankfully there are people like you are trying to find solutions. Again we really appreciate the effort and time you put into the R&D. Cheers.

Ordered one 3 hole and one 4 hole frame 😉. I have a set of Brotherhobby 0804 10000kv motors for the 1s version and a Mobula7 that will be canabilized for the build. The 2s build consists of only your frame so far. Man I'm excited to see these being offered. Thanks Kabab!

Oh man! Hearing you talk about the motor wires that are enamel coated extensions of the windings brought back so many bad memories. My first quad i built back in 2015 was the rotorx racing atom and i used their 1104 motors which have those same kind of wires. The rotorx racing props always flew nice though. The shafts on those 1104's bent way too easily and at the time the damn motors were as much or more than a 2204!

Been waiting for the toothpick to be available to buy. Wanted to build one since your first video on it.

I ordered the 3 hole frame. Can't wait to start building and experimenting with parts!

I see lots of potential on this kind of frames, regarding things like new Canadian laws example, for you going to be stressful deal with logistics, resource parts, misstated orders, bad batches... etc, you named... but we appreciate a lot you strong effort to bring this innovated ideas to us, I just wish you good luck and ask you to never give up, this is future.

Your flying has become pretty epic! You are sergical with your moves! That toothpick is sick!

Nice work! I want one. I want one bad.

YES! I've been waiting patiently! I'll order one as soon as all the components are available on your website. Huge thanks for all the work and effort you've been putting in this project.

I just want to let you know I like the way you do business and appreciate all your hard work. you and your business should be the model for others to follow. I wish you start this a few months back, so I don't have to spend so much time trying to figure stuffs out. I have a few builds over rotorbuilds and i'll try to refer to you and your stuffs where I can, so more people would know.

Thank you Thank you for al hard work and research! I was still working with brushed to find similar flight performance after many paltforms and power combinations I recently decided to floow you path. Brushless is the only way to go!

Yeah, does everyone in the city have to own a dog? I like them too, but every neighbor next to me, below, across, everyone has a dog in an area with 6-8k sq. ft. Lots! So not much room for them... And most are very big and many have more than one. Sheesh! Lol Been looking forward to this video about the Toothpick! 👍😁

DAMN! on 2s....that's insane. These things are coming out like a machine gun....you and Dangerous Dan are changing my mind about these smaller drones. My current favorite is a 3" Brat. I wanted to build an X-Class drone, but I could build 50-2S drones for the money! Thanks for all the information. I enjoy your reviews

Hats off for the passionated people. Nice work!

I'm really wanting one of these. You've really put something together that fits your flight style it's incredible.

Freakin' stable. Amazing tuning man. 👍👍👍

Yo that palm tree loop was epic! Nice job!

Good project and content. I have had very good luck with the iFlight 0804 motors (incl the wires!) On 1s ONLY. You are so right about them being inefficient on 2s. Best of luck. I think these small, efficient setups are cool.

your frame showed up in the mail today, looks quality! can't wait for the rest of the parts to show up and get this thing together!

However...you are one awesome pilot with these drones! Great channel and information, keep up the good work!

I think more people should try AMAXinno stuff. They have such quality motors for a low price

Respect, you did it. I'll be on the website when I get home.

Awesome, can't belive the way that little quad fly! Sure I will get one

For us to buy whole package from you avoid sourcing, shipping and easy to deal with support. If you can accept pre-order, then it will help to forecast 1st batch inventory + cashflow. Hope you will be successful and continue guide us optimal drone for fun. Cheers,

Excited for your website and the products

Can't wait, I asked in a previous video if I could run 2-450mah batteries, so this is great. I've only tried 4 of the infinity batteries(450mah) but 3 of the 4 averaged over 4 minutes,(longest 430) the other about 330(best flight times) I have lots of gnb, and I agree that they are better than everything else I've tried other than infinity, but 4 batteries isn't much of a test.

I love this project! Great work on this. I've been looking into the exact same idea, these new brushless AIO boards with the receiver integrated have really opened up for ultra light but still punchy 1s quads. I'll be buying a frame or three 100% when they're in stock!

Omg can't wait till everything arrives at my door! Thanks for the frame offering

Oh man ive got a set of 9000kv motors off a mantis 85 that are super notchy that would be perfect for this! Looks like youve successfully scaled down the thrust/weight ratio of a 5 inch freestyle rig :)

Your drone piloting skills defy physics!! 😁😎👍💥

Really like these micro stuff you are doing! Never tought they could be so harmless and so ripping... please once you get all the parts in your store make a kit of the toothpick that ships with every part you need to build the toothpick 2s. I dont want to get anything wrong because i can hardly get them :( keep up the progress! Thanks a bunch!!

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for setting up the website!

all i can say is thank you, iv been waiting for these toothpick frames to come out. iv jst ordered the hyperlite glide 5. congrats on the website, ill be visiting it alot buddy

Good news about the site, hope you ad some 5" frames as well.Thanks for all the great info.

I'm digging the small stuff.

Amazing. Love the toothpicks, I think I gotta have one

I feel for you man. You live in a beautiful place but if it's not the dogs its the lawn mowers.

Amaxinno are a great company, their frames are well priced and excellent quality. And as they're based in Germany delivery to the UK is quck and cheap. Thanks Bob 👍👍👍👍

OK, you're going to make me work for it, I've had a cart full at Bangood since the last video waiting for frame and confirmation of what parts work. I really wanted a 200mw camera that works, or a cam and VTX, maybe you've discovered a 200mw combo that looks good and doesn't weigh a ton? This video only makes me want one (at least) of these "Holy Grail" flying machines (Whoop that flies like a 6"). I was hoping I could just gut my Mobula 7 and transplant it onto a Toothpick frame. Looks like it's homework time. This is going to be another project that will no longer be the correct/best setup when the parts finally all get here. If you an get a kit together down the road, I'd expect they will sell quite well. Need to get to work and figure out which frame to order. Thanks for moving forward on this and congrats on getting your own website put together. Looking good!

thank you for promoting kabab kobideh globaly you even can buy kabab kobideh on banggood because of your effort

*Complains about dogs..* over here the weather is grim / rainy and cold.. :P Great update sir! I AM interested in this.. Will have a look if I can get some friends together to order a bunch..

Caddix EOS2 has 4:3 version with NTSC and PAL, it works fine, and quality is ok, lens can be swapped.

Just ordered ur frame brother. Looking forward to it. Keep up the awesome work man.

I think 8000kv is the sweet spot for power vs flight time for 1102/1103. I've tested all the way up to 11500kv and flight times plummet for very little gain in power. I understand you want it quiet but those of us that built sub 65g auw w/2s included years ago found a gemfan 3025 prop cut to 2.25" is probably still the king of overall performance in this class but loud af so waking up dogs would be the only compromise. Many of the pioneers into 2s brushless micros refer to these as "old reliables" and they are the benchmark we judge things against. Just super glue them on the shafts if there are no bolts. You will literally never break one.

Great to see someone is trying to help change how it should be done. testing more testing before selling. I'm so sick of the stuff being thrown together with names that say it not even good. I see alot of gps drones that have app that don't work some don't even have the model in the app. Or not manuals. seems like it's more about numbers vs standards or quality workmanship goes out the door when it come to the companies over seas. Just not right wish people would stop buying from tell them to start making working good product. I hope to try yours soon but I think I will wait for the final motors . Can't wait to fly it

25.4mm is exactly 1 inch

Just placed my order. Was waiting for your recommendation on motors and as I suspected 1103 seems to be the most efficient 2s setup. Can’t wait to see how much power it has with XT 30 and 2s batteries! I have a Betafpv 2-4s ESC coming which is 25x25 mount as well. I’m dreaming of 3-4s on this frame with those gemfan props!

Congrats on getting your site up. I'll pop in now and then. Great job on the tooth pick.

You are legit the best human, thank you kind sir

Congrats on your new web site and Online store. I'm very interested, wait for you to get all the parts.

Totally sick, for a stick. Ordering the frame in febuary for shure. It flies amazing, can't wait to mod the moobz with this frame, for some spring time fun. Thanks for doing this, it means the world to us micro uav junkies. Oh and this is deffinately the future of hobby, when it comes to regulations and stuff. Keep on designing, and improoving, and I hope you create more micro frames. You have my support, and I am looking forward to shopping. I really hope you send stuff to Europe, since we really need good micro parts, due to strict laws. I also hope that they will start working on some standard sizes for parts, so we can mix mash stuff we want. Great video, so much good info.

Seems like the frames are out of stock already. A preorder option and maybe a (mostly?) full kit would be really awesome!

ahhhh! i need this but the uk shipping makes it uneconomical,hopefully when you get the props and motors in it will work out better,i need this in my life omg! keep up the great work

thats great, I'm waiting for the parts to be available on your website. The Eachine Trashcan all in one is now also available on banggood.

BTW there is a slight mistake on ur website. for the component option page, under the tbs unify pro nano32 there is the note again about the drill bits breaking. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Looks great and is an absolute bargain!

Congrats on your new site and store ..you definately deserve to make some money off of all the knowledge you've been sharing. Looking forward to your 2208 motors. Hope you make a 5s version :-)

Will be ordering as soon as I get paid been waiting for this for a while for something like this

I've Built one of these and its insane, DM002 Props Drilled out 55mm or DM007 60mm props are way more.

Damn. This looks fun. I can’t wait to build mine. Looking to order one soon after I train myself for indoor flying with a Eachine qx65. Unfortunately been a bit busy with building other kwads.

Hell yeah I'll be picking one up this week if they don't sell out

I’m definitely jumping on this bandwagon!!! Such an awesome idea. I can’t wait to rip this

That was beyond ripping, you got the skills ,wow , love you videos, I learn so much, 👍👍👍👍

Omg doc. You actually made a 1s flyin like a true 5 inch! Woooowww!

I'm so glad you have made your own site. You have been the one person I have bee nbn inspired by the most since I have started. I hope 5in, 6in, 7in frames coming to your site as well? I would love to support your designs

I used those KK props on my brushed quads. They are good.

How do you read and respond to all the comments. I’m impressed!?!. That’s dedication right there! Keep it up.
