Really funny. I made a Gnarly Meemo more than 2 years ago with these motors and props and it's same weight as your heavy build (yeah you sure feel it). Also with rubber band and a nano VTX and nano 3 cam. Used a Eachine novice-I 1-2S board. Still love this thing. Your build is like a next level. Nice job.

Hi! I just printed the TKS frame from thingiverse in normal PLA. That thing rips hard, I didn't expect that. I used 2s 450mA and total weight was 70g. It lasted almost 6 minutes of fast cruising. I am speechless. Thank you Nick for recommending that.

@MCsCreations 3 года назад

Damn! That little thing is fast! 😮 What most impressed me is that it seems to carry some weight in the dives! Fantastic! 😃 Amazing flying and review, Nick!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I can really tell this is your favorite from the time you put into listing all the parts!! Hopefully the chip shortage will be over soon and we can get back to... normal? Great job. Good review, glad to see you so enthusiastic about a quad.....its been a while

@technoxtreme178 3 года назад

A couple of tips regarding rubber bands... I used to build a lot of rubber powered models and some of the wings of my 2M sailplanes are still attached with rubber bands. 1) Use two to hold anything of value (such as that Insta360) ... don't leave anything with rubber bands on it out in the sun, and...oil them ever so slightly and they will last a lot longer ...they weaken when either exposed to UV, or if they dry out.

It's so nice to see you found your perfect build (for now ;-) ). The confidence it gives you "instantly" boosted your flying skills. And by instantly I mean the 300 packs you ran through it to find that perfect combination of components. Now: powerloop your patio!

@NickBurnsFPV 3 года назад

I was thinking about that powerloop. Tried it a number of times with a different quad, got hung up in trees on both sides and blew a bunch out. Need to get that touch on the throttle just so. Working on it

Great job Nick! Looks like loads of fun. I just built a 1S version on the TKS Rocket Freestyle frame with NewBeeDrone BeeBrain canopy, 40mm Azi props and 0802 20,000kv plaid motors, RunCam Nano 3, and a HappyModel Diamond F4 5-in-1 aio. It's super light (20 grams dry) and tons of fun. Can't wait to try the 2S version on the TKS Rocket Race frame. Thanks for all your work to materialize this concept.

@NickBurnsFPV 3 года назад

This quad is like the new and improved interpretation of your Byte Size quad from MaximusFPV that you reviewed back in Nov 2018. The specs are very similar size-wise. Comparing the videos gives good perspective on where the improvements in hardware had been. To my eyes, the most notable improvements had been made with the camera and props. Thanks for the thorough presentation of the TKS, I really enjoyed it.

@betitaelfica2 3 года назад

Greate video. I also have the uz85 moved to a 105mm frame. In my case I use the redevil 105mm frame + 2.5" props + crazybeeX v2.2 + eachine vtx nano v1 + xm+ receiver. This combination has a reason: One day the antenna pad went off, so I get an external receiver. Another day some ESC mosfet burned so I get a new v2.2 FC with the PNP option. Some days later the onboard VTX didn't work anymore, so I get an external VTX (crazybeex v2.2 has that option, v1.0 not). I finally I mounted it on a 105 frame haha Some things that I recommend in my experience with that FC: Flash ESC 16.9 over the stock 16.8 (it will save your drone in some crashes, I lost 2-3 FC with the 16.8 version, seems that the props get stuck and the mosfet burns). Another thing, I also used a printed canopy like yours (the blue one) and was the day that my onboard VTX died. After that day I printed a closed canopy to protect all my board, it's double weight but it's ok for me. I did a design of it by mixing the blue one with another one which has 4 holes with a spider web design. You can find it by searching "caddx ant lite canopy" in thingiverse (it's the green one). I really appreciate that you shared the "emax tape", I was searching for it but I never known how to search it. I think it's so usefull when you share specific tools/material related to drones. Last day I removed the circlips from the 1102 and 1202.5 motors and it was difficult for the 1202.5, I don't know if there is any specific tool for the dimension of that motors. cheers.

The new 2s mobula8 is a great quad to grab for rocket race parts! It has motor plugs, it has an xt30 already on it. Grab a mob8 and a frame from jacks 3d printing andbyoure good to go! It has 1103 11,000 kv motors that come with it olus a happymodel X12 5-in1 AIO board and the cam and everything's youll need! You can swap out motors if you like but i just grab 2 or 3 mob8's a bunch of carbon frames from jack, and then ill grab motors here and there if i see some i want to tru onnit and i ALWAYS have spare parts for my rocket race with all the bnf mob8's laying around. Plus you can fly those mob8's if you want a whoop for a specific situation! Life is easy now! Lmao

@WingDingMcKing 3 года назад

Yeah shoutout to those nanotech 300mah! I've been using them exclusively for a while now. Started with them on my Trashcan, then on my GnarlyFPV Primo 65mm. I get crazy flight times on 65mm biblades, pushing 5-6mins at times, but then the quad is about as light as your heavier TKS just with larger props and 8000kv 1103s. As far as the connector goes, I actually keep the red JST. I think it's got more than enough current throughput for 2S, especially for a more efficient build, and I think it's a little lighter too. In fact, the lower current throughput means I haven't had any of the 5V reg issues that used to plague happymodel boards since it wouldn't allow the same spike you'd get with an XT30.

@motorazr5012 2 года назад

Thanks for a great tiny whoop channel with awesome content, Nick! I've tried the 75mm Rocket, the 78mm Rocket Race, and the 83mm Echo 2-inch. I've found the 75mm frame is great with 40mm props. The 83mm frame is awesome with 2-inch (52mm) props. On the other hand, I found the 78mm Rocket Race almost pointless - it's super tight with even 51mm props and chunkier than it needs to be. I'd MUCH rather fly the 83mm Echo 2-inch. The 90mm Starlord is overbuilt and too heavy while the 101mm Echo 2.5-inch should be great with 2.5-inch props (I've got one on the way). You recommended the Crux 3 canopy and I tried that but found it to be VERY brittle - each of two shattered on their first crash. The Eachine CineFun canopy would be perfect for any camera with a larger, ~12-13mm lens (eg; Caddx EOS2, Runcam Split 3). Maybe I'll try the UZ85 or UZ80 canopy if they can be found? The StorkFly rubber bands are great as is the Gennel 10mm cloth adhesive tape (aka; "EMAX tape") from Amazon. I appreciate your sharing!

@hutchracing4680 3 года назад

There is a rubber paint that you can spray your boards with that locks all the water out and makes them essentially waterproof. I have flown my waterproof Woop for 3 winters now and it's still running strong.

I broke 3 motors. My fault. This is not for inside. Also broke 2 caddy ant lite. It just shot up im the level mode. Used the stock uz85 tune. Im not a good tuner

@chrisbee5481 2 года назад

I used the Twiglet mini frame instead. Seems awesome quality and a good alternative if you cant get the TKS frame in europe. The geelang wasp85x frame doesnt fit the motors. You need to widen the holes to the inside with a drill or dremel.

@noforyoutubepremium3108 3 года назад

I've been using Hobbyking NanoTech batteries for quite some time now. Yes, they do last a long, long time if you use storage voltage when they're not being flown. Yes, Hobbyking is THE BEST PLACE FOR SUPERB DEALS ON LIPO's! Sure, you do have to swap out the red JST connector on occasion or sometimes another connector, but I bought a 50 pack of XT30's long ago of from Banggood because I knew going in, that Hobbyking for some unknown reason still has a lot of batteries with the wrong connector on it! They do have many more XT30 connector batteries than they've ever had before though. So, they're coming around, it's just been slow! lol But, just browse through their battery selection... I was just doing that looking for 850mah 4s for my soon to arrive Emax Babyhawk2 HD quad. I looked at all of the sites and Hobbyking has around 4 - 6 850mah 4s that were a lower price than ANY other dealer had available! Some quality Nanotech's were 3 - 6 bucks less each than other sites had! I can literally buy my favorite 850mah 4s from Hobbyking and get 3 for the price of 2 from the cheapest alternative from other sites. They have a free shipping program too, but I happen to live about 15 minutes drive from the Hobbyking Warehouse in Tualatin, OR, so I can simply run over and pick them up! Bottom line: I think Hobbyking is BY FAR the best place to buy lipo's for our quads and their lipos are very good quality and THE BEST price period anywhere. A superb selection too. TheirGarphene batteries are among the very best batteries I have ever used in my 4.5 years in FPV! Great prices for Graphene too. They have about six 850mah 4s to choose from...name one other site that has that many of one size of lipo tp choose from. Now, get on their email newsletter (sales email) and get ready for their Battery Blowout sale! Holy Cow they have great deals - so far and away better than any other site in the world, it ain't even close! Highly recommended!!! =(:^)-

@Quad66 3 года назад

I’m glad to see you enjoying this build. I feel this size/class got left behind with the move on to 3 inch 3S and a lot was lost in the process. I am loving a build the the jhemcu 16x16 board, the old amax 1103 7500kv motors and with GF 2512 props. Also on the shorter wider 300-350 2S cells. With the GNB cells the lower 300mah with the 70c rating are far better than the 350mah 50c. My build is a slightly bigger footprint but still light and nimble enough to be crazy fun. What will be awesome is when we get the expresslrs 2S board. I find the lower latency is an even greater benefit on these little quads since they lend themselves well to fly tight and on reaction rather than flow and anticipation.

Nick Burns good to know. on these 1102s I’ve found better durability/quality in the Geprc though they are slightly less efficient than the HM. With that said, I was also doing the 1102 builds before these small GF triblades came out so with better balanced props maybe the motor is a little less of a factor.

@valden 2 года назад

@@chrisbee5481 your best bet with 2.5inch/65mm props is to go with 13500kv motors if you can. Betafpv 1102 13500kv or happymodel 1102 13500kv. They are kinda tough to find stateside and be sure you get the 1.5mm motor shaft version and NOT the 1mm shaft version. If you have issues finding those, I think something like an a 12000kv 1103 like a diatone toka or pyrodrone hyperlite 1103.5 would work pretty well too.

Have you tried any of the props without the Tmount hubs on these 2" builds of yours? I just built a 2" on the tks rocket, and the props without hubs save significant weight(mine is coming in at 32.8g with bi-blades and 33.2 on tris with 51mm HQs), but there is clearly much less "prop" material to grab air. I used the TKS Ant Light TPU canopy, and the 2" props are rubbing on it in the front so I had to do some careful mods with a soldering iron. It's very snowy and wet, so I haven't done much testing other than hovering and getting all my builds in order until spring, just curious!
