I might use your build as a guideline. Thanks for sharing

Well I've been pricing out parts and wow is this hobby cheap compared to helis. I can buy 4 motors I need for around 100. Funny I just told the wife no more this year after the 700.

Quadcopters And Airguns I believe it. I think those motors are way higher quality than these dys motors. Funny how there seems to be this “wall” we’re all hitting around 160 mph

[@quadcoptersandairguns1283]

GC Cannonball the dys motors are great motors but not up to pair with the quality of the Hyperlite stuff.. only problem I have is every now and then is melts the xt60 solder if I do a 4 or so seconds run and then another right behind it the xt60 will desolder every time... it's when I forget to not do another pass right after I just did one. No desyncs with the Wraiths and so far everything is holding up perfect.. I did cook a motor because I was being stupid and threw on a set of 5152 triblade and instasmoked motor 1 on Betaflight as soon as I gave a quick bump to see what the punch out LOS looked like bam buh byez to that motor lol

[@quadcoptersandairguns1283]

GC Cannonball and yeah 160mph is about it as,of right now.. I have tried a,few builds and 155 to 160 is pretty much it it's like a wall and as of current tech I have no idea how to get past it without going adding cells and cooking stuff. I honestly think it's prop related because I do notice high KV 6s flattens the pitch slap outta any prop out there as of now.. I think a prop that will resist flatting the pitch out on high KV 6s builds and we will only then climb that wall that's my opinion.

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Quadcopters And Airguns hmm interesting, what gauge wire are you using to the lipos pads. I haven’t had any issues on 14, but my runs stay around 2-3 seconds max with 20-30 seconds cool down in between passes

[@quadcoptersandairguns1283]

GC Cannonball running 14ga, so long as I give a cool down it's fine.. if I do a pass and turn around and run again with no cool down it's almost 100% desoldering will happen... my test passes are running over 500 meters and that is likely why as you stated a,much shorter distance.. I'm at full throttle for a,good bit longer.. it's a pain in the ass and desoldered connector at 140 150mph is NO FRIENDLY to frame arms lol...

You can throttle curve high KV motors to work on 6s. I'm not sure that's what he's doing here or not. If you want them to perform at 1/2 the KV then you chop the top 1/2 the throttle off. I'm still skeptical that it's a "good" way of doing things though.

how much does it cost to build one of those, I been considering it latley

[@e4Bc4Qf3Qf7]

A normal racing quad is around 100-150$, assuming you build it yourself. The goggles can range from 100-500$, batteries are 25$ each, and you need a lipo charger which are 50-60$, and a transmitter which is around 100$. A 6s build like this will cost way more for the quad, and you will need to have some pretty damn good soldering skills to solder it. Look up some videos and guides on building quads.(btw quad=quadcopter)

[@fireiron1477]

Minimal amount is usually $175 usd

[@kwaggo462]

I’m building my first ever and with everything including goggles I’m around $250-$300. I bought a fairly inexpensive build that will go only around 60-70mph. The transmitter and goggles are the two main big purchases and after that it’s fairly reduced pricing since you have those two components already.

[@Bluuplanet]

Can the electronics in this drone be adapted for use in model rocketry?

[@NewZedia]

Watching you fly I don’t understand how your flying forward with zero input in forward pitch. Either I can’t see you push the stick forward and applying throttle. If your not applying forward pitch how do you tune the quad to fly like this

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Blake Westergaard it’s a very small input on the pitch stick. Since there is no stabilization in acro mode, once the quad is in forward flight there is no need to keep the pitch stick forward

[@tommytwotone8510]

Awesome, would a super capacitor between the batt and quad help with the sag? Obvious trade off with weight but would be curious to see what the right cap might do. If you have the batt and amperage telemetry around the max draw curves I could run some sims.

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Tom Hurst I’ve never heard of capacitors being used for that. I am no expert at all but I just understood the cap is there to absorb and deal with any voltage spikes

[@tommytwotone8510]

The super caps are different. They can provide a higher output than most if not all batteries but for a very short time. So during heavy accel / load the initial power would come from the super cap keeping the battery from sagging to whatever degree one sets it up for. (short answer) There's bound to be some good videos floating around. I'd be happy to play with some numbers. Would need voltage start, lowest, recovery and the matching values for the current to see if it would be worth it. I do know they are being used in everything from handheld devices (to extend the battery run-time by compensating for the sag which would normally cause the battery to go below minimums.) to shipping port cranes to ease the draw on the power grid.

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Tom Hurst oh wow I had not heard of that before. Almost like the KERS system a F1 car uses

Thanks go. Can YOU tell me why 4" quads running 4s with similar ratios of motor/weight/frame size under 180mm don't exist?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Oswalds Reef sure they do! You can build anything with any mix of components. I think in general the power:weight ratio is better in a 5” than a 4” so probably why it’s not very popular

[@noufascist7439]

cool. I do love a good fast quad vid.

[@johncarold]

HI GC, I'm working on my 2.5 Mass DR. HGLRC F438 TX20, RCX=H1304 4000KV. OR RCX H1407 3200KV. 4S 800mah ?

[@MXstar189]

nothing to say about the high voltage transmission lines?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

MXStar189 great reference points

[@erolryant9129]

How do you displaying the voltage on your FPV image? Your setup don't have an OSD. How I can displying the voltage and the current? I get the same setup with lower kV Motors ; )

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Erol Ryant depends on what fpv camera you have. Most will have a “vbat” pin that you solder directly to the + on the 4in1 esc or pdb and that will display the voltage on your feed but it has to be a camera with osd

[@johncurtan9859]

How are the spectrum radios and all seems pretty good

[@gabbychavesracing24]

John Curtan they are great high quality radios.

[@johncurtan9859]

GC Cannonball heck yeah cool might grab one

[@whoisme678]

Is it possible to mount 2 additional motors forward facing ? like the Osprey. Would the drone be any faster ?

[@bobturner3388]

I realize this question is a little late,”what is your weight without battery? Please let me know, I will be very greatful!

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Bob Turner this setup is right at 290 grams without the battery

[@rocknrye9273]

Whats the price tag for that drone and eyes? I've never seen something like that. Insanely fast and very impressive with the skills to fly it.

[@dailydoseofsmoke.6717]

It depends, this drone and allot of other fpv drones ar custom built. The price depends on what parts you use.

[@pavvZed]

Cool one. How did you measure the speed? Do you have gps built in?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Pawel Zet no gps. Using time/distance with an electronic beacon at each end to start and stop the timer

[@pavvZed]

@@gabbychavesracing24 Interesting. You could share some tips how to do it :)

[@linecraftman3907]

how much did the drone weigh? I wonder how much kinetic energy would it have

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

What settings did you change in blheli please.

[@meangreen7389]

WoW! Incred speed runs! Thanks for sharing.👍

[@fylipeq2588]

how much does it cost to make a drone like your drone?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

This one cost me about $450 to build in parts

[@ab2tract]

what did you do to your RX antenna? Why reverse the motor direction?

[@MrVS-eh9uv]

What motors are the same in strength as Thor? Thor sold out

[@mihai21neo]

From where I can buy this beast? You can tell me a site with racing drones.

[@gabbychavesracing24]

mihai21neo check out CatalystMachineworks.com And look at their BNF options

[@mihai21neo]

Thanks.

[@blise518B]

mihai21neo I recommend building it yourself. You will end up breaking it earlier or later anyway so it helps if you know how to build it.

[@08halit]

im a noob in these categories but i want to learn to build and use these drones,,im interrested in filming so i want to build a rather big one..as you guys race with them ( im corralating it to if you like cars who is better to ask then those racing cars ) i would really presciate the help i could get... i want a system similar to those of parrot and dji,where you can with 1 button call it home and adjust the max hight and so on and offcorse a camera pod on it.. would presciate the help.. what to buy

[@blise518B]

​@@08halit a good video to learn the basics is this ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXexeIh6icRslcU ) he shows you how to build a basic bit still fast racong quad for the gps you need to serch for "INav" thats the software on the drone that uses gps to return to home a good place to start would be ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipCXoZtjjqihl6M ) if you have questions the guy from the first video has a very helpful discord channel where you can ask questions it can be overwhelming at first but if you finally get your copter flying its all worth it.

[@PaddleDogC5]

What's the fastest drone you can by out of the box?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

PaddleDogC5 I think CatalystMachineworks.com has some BNF that can do 120-130 mph. However you’re looking at 4-500 $ Something like a blade scimitar or emax hawk5 would be close to 100mph

[@aleesahin]

How can't you gain altitude when you up your throttle? you almost same pitch when you are slow and fast.

[@epic2105]

What charger do you recommend for this battery you use

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

What was the weight of this quad without battery?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

FPV wannabee about 290 grams

[@EbonySeraphim]

Interesting. I just realized on your stick movements that you didn't have to pitch down when you punched the collective. Does the flight control software (not sure what this hobby calls it) adjust things like that for you?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

EbonySeraphim it’s not a software adjustment, (though probably it can be done, not sure) it’s just the “flight mode” when you are full manual flight mode, you don’t need to make many inputs if any at all once to are in forward flight. There is some input however the rates are quite sensitive so it may not be too apparent

[@dronesdehonduras]

Estupendo !!! Great !! One question ... do you fly in mode1, why? Tks.

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Drones de Honduras mode 2!

[@TACHON82]

Hllo so powerfull but how to you tune this prop i have trouble with it i try in 4s but full gaz goes crazy

[@gabbychavesracing24]

FAT DAN what software are you using? Betaflight? Kiss? RaceFlight?

[@TACHON82]

Butterflight lol i have not try in 6s now but only in 4s with the apc prop with 3 blades its perfectly fine but with the biblade i dont know why its so bad. I have test also the raceflight same things weird. My motors are horus 2506 2600kv ;)

[@gabbychavesracing24]

FAT DAN so many variables it’s hard to say what could be the cause. I’d start by soft mounting the FC if not already. Make sure nothing is touching the gyro. Then see that you don’t have a motor that’s noisy that could be causing the issue. After that play with TPA mostly, try increasing it and maybe lower yaw P. Mine is on stock settings on RF 455 fw

[@ianholmes5951]

That is scary fast holy crap!

[@JaysJunk7]

You are the first guy on KZbin I've seen use Spektrum, let alone full baller status with a IX12

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Jay Harley 😂 yea spoiled with team pilot perks.

[@bigmost4300]

Guys I’m looking to start up FPV. Local hobby shot here in Australia deals in Spektrum transmitters, and I also have never seen them used in the popular channels. Are they ok?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Big Most spektrum transmitters are more than ok. It’s a leading brand in RC radios and equipment. It’s not so popular on KZbin channels mainly cause they are a bit more pricey and used more by racers rather than freestyle pilots

[@JaysJunk7]

Big Most one of the best hands down!

[@bigmost4300]

Thanks for the info guys. Would they make suitable starter? I’d like to spend time on a sim 1st. It would be nice to support my local shop too.

[@Flaps84]

Why are your prop configuration running the other way around than "normal"?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Eirik Larsson it’s just preference for racing. It helps to “bounce of” gates and things rather then be sucked in. Also keeps the fpv lens clean if you go on the grass with the motors on

[@Flaps84]

GC Cannonball Ahhh, I'll see. That gave perfect sence; thanks 😀 I guess there is no changes to do in Cleanflight/Betaflight. The only thing is to solder motor wires "reversed" or reverse them in ESC flash tool like BlHeliSuite?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Eirik Larsson easy way is to reverse via blheli suite. You can also alter motor wire like you said. But you MUST click and turn on the “motor direction is reversed” tab. Under configuration in betaflight. This will only work in betaflight 3.2 or newer. For anything older you must go and do a CLI command line. If you don’t as soon as your arm, your quad will go to the moon haha

[@Flaps84]

GC Cannonball Hahahaha, thanks 😆 I'll remember that 😁 BTW, I've always wanted a dronetrip to the moon 🤔😉 Just to confirm NASA never went there 🙄

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Eirik Larsson it’s over rated 😅

[@MrVesical]

Nice quad! What is the price of it?

[@patrickfrensdorff7485]

what motors u got? would be nice to fill that up

[@slickwithit5499]

What flight controller and PDB?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Aj Jackson FlightOne revolt. Bolt 4in1 esc, no pdb

[@Stocks_Up]

Is it the battery that desides the power of your drone or the motors?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Stocks Up combination of battery voltage / motor kv (think of it as the rpm potential of the motor) and very important and sometimes overlooked, the propeller

[@Stocks_Up]

@@gabbychavesracing24 true that's crazy how fast you got it going. Flying right through the electrical posts. Where do i start?

[@OlliGarch]

Nice. What a rush!! Now you gotta go for 200

[@MrVS-eh9uv]

Can you build me one? that fast drone with the same parts. Is it possible. How much I have to pay?

[@ZorrotorFPV]

How can you 6S 2500Kv without burning them?

[@peterzingler6221]

Because Motors are rated by ampdraw not voltage:) makes sense if you think how this Motors are made . Only real Problem is overreving the Motor , so with right choosen Props you can even run 2700kv at 6s

[@BEEHALBEE]

Dude ... wow ...just wow!

[@peteflyfpv8697]

ok i hooked up the 1000 35 direct to my pdb battery connector..is that ok?

[@gabbychavesracing24]

petefly FPV yes that will be ok

[@2crashy545]

People in those houses must love you.

[@mehmetpolat4175]

Where did you get it? How much is it ? give me a link please :)

[@chucksandos8939]

After watching two your video at this top of speed, I cannot understand what and how just you use speed meter on the drone? Thanks

[@gabbychavesracing24]

Chuck Sandos I use a simple calculation of time over distance, which gives me the average speed over that distance. I have 2 beacons that are triggered when a signal goes over it. That gives me the time from A to B
