Specifically the long style battery is recommended and is what fits on this frame. Not the square batteries. This will be explained in the video about the frame. These batteries are the best value to performance I've found but I'm sure you can find similar elsewhere. We will have batteries in the store soon as well. Recommended 450mah 3S: bit.ly/2krhKbW Recommended 450mah 2S: bit.ly/2lW3JTW My preferred FPV cam is still this particular version of the Whoop cam as a standalone. It's what I used for most of this video. Let me know if you want us to stock this camera. I feel like I'm in the minority that likes this camera over any Nano cam. This camera will NOT fit the BeeBrain V2 mount unfortunately. The board is about 15mm wide and 13mm tall. bit.ly/2mhxaQp Also the Vtx/DVR I'm using. It works alright but not perfect. It's a happymodel product so it has reliability issues. I have two companies working on a new version. bit.ly/2lSn20p ▼Join my FB group for more discussion: Kabab FPV facebook.com/groups/379155946182689/ ▼ My typical 5" quad setup: -Hyperlite Glide Floss (will be re-released soon) -Motor 1750kv/ESC combo: bit.ly/2XAEHXH -WaFL’s Cap Cap: bit.ly/2GUpXxO -Battery: bit.ly/2ZoW2rq -FC: bit.ly/2XRc8G8 -FPV Cam: bit.ly/2Q7LfL7 -Vtx: bit.ly/2HsrASs -ND GoPro Mount 30deg: bit.ly/2WC15zc -ND Filter (if used): bit.ly/2WEmQ1j ▼My preferred goggles as of Sept 2019 bit.ly/2k5YNv5 ▼Notable motors: -Xing 2306: bit.ly/2Nqqr25 -Xing 2208: bit.ly/2y3te8R -FANTASTIC 6" motor: bit.ly/2LqghOZ ▼ 5" Sub $200 build that's still good -Frame: goo.gl/EpXQhZ -FC/4in1 Stack: goo.gl/HprVbj -Motors: bit.ly/2Nqqr25 -Props: bit.ly/2TUQsIg -FPV Cam: goo.gl/FDJhYw -Vtx: bit.ly/2NnO2Au -Starter goggles: bit.ly/2Mw0yNS -Batt pad material: bit.ly/2QGWhYb ▼ If you want to solder better: -Fantastic solder: amzn.to/2P5QM2W -Fantastic iron: goo.gl/DqBipa ▼ Lighting equipment: -Ring light: bit.ly/2ODSg9A -Panel light: bit.ly/2KmDApP -Power adapter: bit.ly/2YD5jHT -Tripod: bit.ly/2MDsMX2 -Mini tripod: bit.ly/2MGL4Hf ▼ Tips? -PayPal: www.paypal.me/kababfpv -Bitcoin: 1E4XZXoD4rS6MYWVWuenY7Kw2M1YgyNpoQ -Nano: xrb_1188ek5bd7tb9kw67asnp9o65byuoaxbtpxuznx1ribf75x78awywmakj55f -ETH: 0xD067F93811f2eC31CB1928901002dfdf9A492EF5 -LTC: La2KWYAjp4VT2Lq2M76pbjzXWvRyjpfCtG -Tesla Referal code: ts.la/bob40889 Please use my referral code if you're gonna buy a Tesla.

Sorry for all the comments. I just want to share how pumped I am for this and how grateful I am for the time you've put into this hobby. Thanks for sharing your discoveries with us all. It's awesome to be on this ride with you all.

You never cease to amaze me with your products/innovations

Micros have always been fun for me. I enjoy more than my 5 in and glad to see stuff has been getting better

Love this stuff.... I am 2hrs away from the nearest field.... now we have products that we can fly at the park and even start up park club racing without issue and bothering people. Thank you!

Congratulations on the release of the TP3! Looking forward to flying one as soon as I can get all the parts to Australia :)

Awesome to finally see a review of this thing! Congrats on an not only another great video, but a phenomenal product!

Thanks Bob! Gotta couple TP3 on the way!

Probably one of the most underrated pilots, great knowledge and great flying 👌

Thank you for bringing more joy into our lives!

Have 2 flosstyles and love em! Will be picking up a few of these for sure! Keepin it Kabab!

This class is super essential to the quad community for us SoCal people and the challenges we face with locations as you have already echoed when I've commented. Thanks for putting in the effort. I must find this tree you're zipping around. Although making the drive to your area since I'm way south of the valley would be a commitment.

Been waiting for this! I've also been using the nameless board and have been loving it. Very exiting!

I just have to say, this edit made me buy this build. Music, timing, goodness.

Amazing incredible performance.

Got my order in, can't wait to start building!

Awesome little ripper. I've been watching the toothpick/alleged toothpicks for a bit. Liked the idea of them. But this is the first one that excited me, so I ordered a frame. Now I'm committed to building one. Can't wait. Happy flying, 👍💖🤓

I already have both the Nameless and BetaFPV boards waiting for a build so I just had to order the frame, motors, and props. Can't wait!

I took a break from FPV right when the first iteration was announced. Just got back to the hobby, so I’m happy it’s come a long way ☺️

WOW! That's a little speedy daemon!!! 😮 Amazing job, Bob!!! Amazing flying as well!!! 😃

Wow, sold out already! I'll try to remember to check back. Love your videos, this looks like a great frame!

Looks like a sweet bird. I most certainly believe you have been a very influential master of many schools-of-thought that have been invaluable to the development of a great many FPV pilots. Bravo... Kee-Moo-Sabii

Looks like a fantastic build! Its all about that cubic disk loading... The forgiving control is to be expected but it's surprising how quick it is too!

Bro ive looking at your vids for a long time now and who cares who invented the micro. You have made them so much better and we all thank you 👊

Nice job man ! I would love to have more kakabFPV that love this hobby and work to create and develop new ideas 👍 good luck and keep up the great work you have done!

Hell yeah man! That little guy is shredding! Love the punch rewind at the start and the music too, loving the flying. I'm very impressed with the 1303s. 4800kv is beasty! These motors deffo look tasty man with these little props. Nicely done :)

That's bad ass man! I'm really thinking about making one now!

I'll be waiting for the next batch to come in!

Its looking awesome!

Holy snaps that little thing has some speed! Noice. I’m still having fun with my 65mm Toothpick but have a 3” build coming soon. May just wait till you perfect this one. But from the looks of it, it’s already perfect. 👍

Love it. Amazing work!

I’m loving it. Keep it up! Edit: oh snap, 1303 and 1204 motors with 2mm shafts?! That sounds perfect. I’ve been using BH 1402 8100kv on 3x2 props and it’s great, although a little high in kv.

Love your approach and enjoyment to/of fpv. please never stop developing the toothpick or whatever type of design that catches your eye. Looking forward to flying a toothpick when I get back into fpv. (not eve a little interested in other types, haha.)

I like the new FPVCycle branding Bob, Congrats. Now its just time to get parts in stock 😂

This will be the perfect companion to the original 1S toothpick. A quad for every spot.

Awesome work man! Keep it up

Super quick shipping, I like the 1.5mm. 20 grams lighter than my 2.5 massive droners with more disc area. Thank you Bob!

I’ve been waiting for this!! Woohoo kabab upload

"Damn you DENTIST, You just put a HUGE smile on my face" now on LOOP !

Excellent video thanks !

Wow bob I'm in love on the toothpick but now I'm more way in love on the tp3 I'm gonna get one for sure 😍

Very impressive.

and in my opinion - like the 5inch frames as well - the design is great

Looks like so much fun👌

Congrats on the launch! Everything is sold out too, that's crazy.

Hey great News! I will build one of these. I am really exited to fly a product produced by someone with as much passion for our hobie as you. Love your work and thinking about flossing LOL!

Hot damn that thing moves! Micros have come a long way, you know how to pick’em!

Also don’t worry about the haters that misrepresent what you say when you say it. You have helped push this hobby/sport to where it is now and some of us that have been around the last 3 years know it. It’s the internet people like to talk smack behind a monitor without fact checking a thing or even bother looking at the original source. I know quite a few people like that in life and on the net.

Wel I was able to buy 5 of the 1204 motors and 3 sets of pros. Have to wait for the frame and the AIO FC. Can't believe how affordable such a build is!! This will be my favorite already build to date I can already tell. Hope you will restock soon!!

"the year is 2021, the toothpick 7" coming out" :D when I saw your first toothpick....my first thought - he needs 3" and 14xx motors for that weight to be fun to fly with :)

Dang, that thing is screaming Bob 👍

NOW I get it.. this is actually sick first toothpick/micro that I actually want to get my hands on! 👏

Still loving the hyperlite toothpick with 1s, only issue I had (ok I sometimes cry when the throtle isn't enough) was the shaft fell off, but I fixed with some glue. I wonder when web will get a reliable 1-2s whoop board

BTW the LR video you shared like a month ago.....opened my eyes.....I was trying to get LR7" to work and never thought of 6" or less to be good for that.........NOW I HAVE A 5" PROTOTYPE that can fly for 25 minutes covering more than 6 miles trips....YOUR old floss frame :D so THANK YOU!

I'm not sure i'll build one anytime soon because i'm on a long range quad kick, but that frame is a work of art and I have to have it.

Bob out there being a positive influence on the hobby while making a greater impact than most with personal dental hygiene tips 👍 Btw Bob don't pay any attention to the trolls and the negative people in our hobby, they're the type who just want to see the world burn, argue for arguments sake and for their personal amusement to stroke their egos. Stay positive and ignore the toxic people in our community and their comments, it's what they hate the most and their kryptonite brother.

I'm always mostly shocked on how good your dvr video is

Been waiting for this one :)

I finally got to order one of these. This is literally my childhood dream come to life: sit inside an ultra tiny rocketship that can go wherever you want it to.

Dont sell yourself short. Many of your designs (floss frames, motor lines, micro builds, etc.) have been revolutionary to the industry and have brought about huge change. Just because you weren't the first one to the watering hole, doesnt mean you didnt bring huge improvments to it! The haters will always try to pick away at your development and products, dont let em.

Zoink! Snagged a setup. You sound congested dude.

Man that thing fkn shreds eh. Good job dude

WOW!!!! This flight footage is CRAZY fast!!!!!! Great flying man!!!!! I want one and i suck at flying!!!!!!

Holy. Shit. That was some flying. That shit was stupid fast!

I’m usually pretty good at sorting my wants and needs. Quads are always a want. THIS, however, is a need. I think I need one of these more than I need air to breathe!

Looking forward to the build video. Curious to see if you have found a canopy to house that whoop camera that you like. Also please include your PID tune, thanks!

That little thing moves! I might have to start flying some smaller quads now..lol

I’m ready to order!

Rewatching again and again ! ouh! ouh! ouh! ouh! i close my eyes and i imagine flying like a bird !

Congrats on the web store Bob looks good. Now restock, so I can buy some stuff hahaha. Hope you include some cool KababFPV stickers hint hint :)

Wooohooooo its back!!!!

Who are the Wright Brothers? Little known fact: Prof. Kabab invented flight itself! 😉 Love your informative videos!

When you do, if you go full time....can I be your first employee? I really respect your process and the things that you do for the hobby, and If you don't lose interest, or get overwhelmed, I think there's more great things to come and I just want to be a part of that and learn from it.

Amazing dude. You know you created a whole market LOL!?

It is awesome! :D I love it! I am gonna build one, I am sure! :D Thanks!

That frame and motors really look amazing and refined and the performance seems stellar! It seems that you have the Apple issue somehow, when you come out with a very much refined product that what was laying around everyone jumps on your back, but don't worry you also have long time supporters. :) Btw, your voice sounds tired in this video, take care.

What you did, when you say you did not invent anything, but you did make something and showed it, is basically what any technically trained designer with an eye for proper architecture, performance and efficiency in mind would do, so congratulations on this note. Let me share a bit history. Quads have not been my strong point, from a product manufacturing reference, because my time has been spread out in various other rc aircraft, mainly, as I offer in kit form via my web site, but I wanted to share this with you since I just came across this video, just now, and I understand what you are saying. Considering that rc quad-copters, AKA as drones these days, are a derivation of multi-rotor architecture that has existed since the 1920's, and if we look at some of those early contraptions, they too had toothpick like structures because weight has always been an issue to the available power at the time these contraptions came about, and it is still something we need to balance out in a logical form with power engines, or electrical motors in our hobby quad case, in order to get things to fly with efficiency, we can then have a better understanding of how things are set in motion. I too, had similar direction, but much much earlier than you did, I think and who knows, there were probably other people with similar direction, and so they say, when someone has one idea there are 10 other people with the same idea somewhere else in the world, for basically the same needs and many ideas that seem modern or new are nothing more than re-vamped concepts with new technology. But my angle and journey into this lighter high performance RC hobby grade FPV quad mentality, started with the design aspect of a SAFER, first and foremost, quad in the 3-5" prop size, and operable on 1S cell with high performance, and this direction came about right after I had purchase the original first commercial rc quad that launched the hobby into FPV quads, the Blade MQX. I had bought a few MQX quads and at the time that is all there was, in this feather weight 5" Blade category and so I did and offered a lot of mods as upgrades, including provisions for mounting FPV cameras, which at the time you had to build from scratch, because the more commercially available all in1 cameras had not surfaced yet. So the Blade MQX was my platform for building a 5" high performance quad operable on 1S cell and what I consider the original "toothpick" architecture, because of the simple stock cross braced carbon frame it came with, with all in 1 control board on top. Now, since the Blade MQX had come out, other later, toy grade, similar size 5" prop quads had come out with better all in 1 control boards and I also modified a few of those so that I could fly safely and with ease, with a bit more than stock performance, for solid 5 minutes, in my backyard and front cul-de-sac, most notably, the SYMAs and JJRC H12Cs. I love these conversions, they were SAFE, ultra lightweight and super easy to fly but they all suffered from lack of power for anything but relaxed cruising and those core-less motors were a pain to replace. The Mobula 7 comes out and rocks my world, perhaps everyone's world, with a high performance tiny quad that had the potential of lending its much better control board to a quad in the size of the blade MQX, so I dove right in and started to convert one of my original Blade MQXs with the Mobula 7 control board, but also using the Mobula 7 motors. Season quad-copter pilots know that you cannot use those tiny Mobula 7, or any similar size, high KV motors direct with 5" props, so I designed a similar Blade MQX carbon rod frame with provisions for the Mobula 7 motors and FC but with the Blade MQX geared mechanics, so that I could run it on the original Blade MQX 5" Blades still on 1S Li-Pol. We can say this was the worlds first 5" prop high performance quad running on 1S li-pol. At this time, I had also done other similar experimental frames in a cross shape, Blade MQX style, and if we want to extend that idea and credit also to the Lady Bird architecture, in true "tooth-pic" style, using 4 mm carbon rods I had leftover from manufacturing ultralights and microlight kits, instead of CNC plates, to not throw away good material and logically keep it simple and lightweight but strong, incorporating some 3D printed parts, to put it all together. I did 2 iterations, in similar framework fashion for direct drive operable on 2S Li-Pols. I called my first prototype the MIA Zoom, and the second version the MIA 200 Racer, the 200 denotes the diagonal distance, in mm, from motor to motor, similar to its reference cross brace framework on the Blade MQX which is 250 mm. My ultralight and microlight, autogyro kits work and family responsibilities, did not allow me the time to offer a full conversion, in kit form, at the time with these types of configurations, so I kept it as a personal project. 2019 comes and pandemic sets things at a standstill, and I lost complete interest in a lot of things as probably many people did, a crazy time, and just this year I began to re-integrate my mind back on FPV quads, so in this month I started binge watching a lot of videos to catch up with this area of the hobby and found your video. At this same I dug out my redesigned "Blade MQX architecture" "tooth-pics" high performance quads and have been having a ball with them, much as you probably have with your own. The MIA 200 Racer has become my favorite own design quad, because it has all the features that I think it should have for SAFE high performance quad, but reminiscent of the original blade MQX, in architecture, but in a much higher performance package, with off the shelf components, it handles with comfortable easy, the FC is super stable and flies tamed or wild, and it can also fly on higher number of cells since the current FC board can be operated on 2-4S , but 2S is plenty for the average FPV pilot seeking a 5" blade size quad performance with a lot more safety than the traditional flying 5" blade bricks of the past. I am doing a full video on its history and hopefully a video that shows all its capabilities in the hands or a more skilled FPV "quad" pilot if I can find one local to fly it for me. I have not invested the time in flying FPV quads required to build up my skill level to the one you show on your video, crazy fast loops and flips, and this is the reason I would like a pro FPV pilot to fly mine, this way I can measure with certainty my target specifications and can prove weather my early designs are what they should be as presented in this comment. Anyway, I hope you are still involved in the hobby and wish you well.

I started following you because at the time I was looking for something safe and not scary I could fly anywhere with no drama. I was just moving from LOS toy quads into FPV and decided to start out with brushed stuff and I found your video about your experiment with 1s brushed "Brushed 1S in 2018 - Thoughts?". It seems like maybe that desire came from the new laws and sub 250g and just the bad press about drones etc. It sure seems to me that your putting that out there at just the right time spurred things into a sort of "movement" and then along comes smaller components geared around 1 to 2s and now 3s brushless which has proven to be very popular. For me at least I credit you the most (based on my vantage point) for getting us to this point, so you have my thanks! I'm still mostly interested in 1 to 2s and hopefully good flight times with decent acro.

sold out last night while i was in the shopping cart ! bro you need more product for your demand !!!!!! please

Man! That thing can haul ass!

The dvr is so clear,mygawd

The King is back boys!!!! Nice Intro & Music choice Bob...amazing flying....but all I see is letters "SOLD OUT"....

Liking this. allot buddy

How would you currently build this, seems amazing!!

We don't deserve you Bob. You are adding so much to this hobby, really causing a revival for a lot of folks. Never apologise for being accredited for the invention of the toothpick. If anybody else had already done it before you, it obviously wasn't as good because nobody heard about it. This quad looks insane and I want to build one. Amazing frame design. Thank you so much for all the work you put into designing these things. One of the few people in the space who actually knows what they are talking about. Will you be shipping to the UK? I would love your frame but I don't live in the states.

Thank you for all that you have done!!

You’re a great innovator who has breathed life back into micros! Thank you Bob! Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the motor options.

Dam cant believe it all sells out so fast... been trying to build a toothpick since the day the first version came out.. there's like 200 ppl out of thousands that get product... YOU COULD BE MAKING MORE MONEY!!! What are you doing there is no risk on going bulk we all will buy it!

The old intro with the huge loops kept me tinkering in quads. Please re upload it somewhere !

very interested in those props. finally, some props with more modern shape. great work Bob.

Hey bob, I am pretty new to fpv and I absolutely am addicted to your RU-vid channel lol, I love your motor videos and ESPECIALLY HOW DETAILED you explain everything! I am thinking of tying to build a toothpick, you can never get these parts so I don’t know what to do. Should I buy a larva? Sailfly, diatone cube? Should I build my own with different parts? i knkw your super busy but I look forward to your RU-vid videos when they come out! Please SELL YOUR DENTIST BUSINESS AND DO THIS FULL TIME!!!!!!!!! Lol. thank you again for all your advice and please keep going!

If your wallet and your wife are gonna be pissed, clap yur hands!! Lol!! Love ya man, thanks for all the pioneering you do. Like creating all things that fly, and sugar, dentistry.... that was you right? You are the toothpick/low weight non ducted quad guru man!! Seriously though thanks for all that you have done and all that you'll do, you're a hell of a guy!

Pretty amazing flying, and I thought the cam was HD. Great work. I don’t need HD, just a better DVR than the FS one. Or does it has an on oars dvd for analog?

Thank you so much for all of this! I've been wanting to make something like this since micros first started getting more powerful, but ended up not having the time and resources to try all the components and configurations in such an extensive way. You have my order! Edit: I also tend to be lazy and just stay with an ok setup instead of trying to get it perfect on such a level 😂 So thank you again! Edit 2: Order confirmed 😉 Also very reasonable shipping cost to Germany. Nice!

HOLLY SHEEP SHIT BATMAN WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ! OK now that is wild, I want to build a fleet of them. Thanks I been waiting for this one.

oml thats sick

Loving your vids. Big fan. Wow amazing DVR footage are you using a diamond vtx with DVR? I don't see any breakup. I've been loving the 3" Sanchez and or 3" pickle frame with the gatekeeper canopy with a runcam nano2 for months now. You were the inspiration behind a lot of this. Keep up the great work. Lightweight powerful 3" toothpicks are the way to go. I'd recommend the emax Evan tri blades. I guarantee you will enjoy the handling and performance that much more. HQ also have some nice tri's.

Wish everything wouldn't sell out so fast! Hopefully I can get in on the new batch. This has always been a problem. I had to settle for a sailfly pos junk cus I couldn't get any micro parts, you should do pre orders

Indoor version with shielded props would be awesome!!

More interested in the completes vs build your own style. Is there a way to subscribe to the site when completes are in?
