1kg Race Drone!? - DRL Racer 4... Can It Freestyle?

[@ryanav0842]

I see where you guys flew every Time I go to school. That wall is massive I’m person. I rip at the big dirt field like half a mile away

[@bizmar]

Looking at 5 people standing there all with goggles on, is so hilarious. We truly have the most nerdy looking hobby.

[@vagatronics]

Mark Bizilj nein non no

[@weirdscience8341]

I am definitly a nerd definitely lol

[@sommmathechamp5801]

i like it being nerdy cause then ppl can look over and be like “what are they contacting aliens or some shit?”

Have u ever heard of gaming my friend

[@davidmullins4517]

Well at 55 years old I got my first PFV racer, omg its so dang fast, but i've crashed it already over 25 times just trying to learn . only broke 1 arm so far so waiting for parts to fly again , love it!

[@unnamedchannel1237]

Best advice I was given start out on sim

[@mcsova2936]

It is never too late to join FPV

[@koig8393]

You can buy a flying simulator on steam for like 5 usd, that way you can learm faster withouth damaging the actual drone

[@jakedavid2523]

@The Equaliz3r you can get an entry level setup with just about everything you need for around $600. Might want to put away another $200 for replacement parts though for the first couple months. And each prop cost about 75 cents lol

[@epica2154]

There's a Tinyhawk Rtf and it was easy to learn

[@krakenking1597]

Zoe killed it! First try,

[@whoopsquad]

Kraken King - yeah- and was that her power looping those tight palm trees!?

[@index7787]

She's an insane 3D pilot, fucking legend.

[@EdwinRodriguezRicandragon]

Zoe!!!!!!!!!!

[@jakepollen6839]

Like if you’d beat the breaks off Ms. Zoe

[@Thefreakyfreek]

FAA killed it completely

[@absoloodle37]

Glad to see the RR brand mature into what I’m watching today. The crew seems way more relaxed and comfortable together. Much thanks to Drew’s crew for driving our FPV culture into a more inclusive, less arrogant expression of the hobby. The change is overdue. Also, Zoe’s flying is on point. That is all.

[@Stewpkiddable]

well said.

[@licensetodrive9930]

Absolutely fascinating to see behind the scenes of the DRL quads, thanks!

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I love the idea for the Racer 4. Its like with Nascar. All the specs force the pilots to have to be close to each other, and the frame itself, while not awful, probably isn’t the best either, despite the hot setup. Its all about showing off the skill, and making it an experience for fans! I learned that from the Micheal Rollins interview with Alex. It kinda makes we want to see spec racing for all kinds of RC, but much slower. Todays Plane Pylon racers, and even some car tracks, are stupid fast,

[@quadroneld]

what a beautiful shot at 13:39, drone in the background, woman in the foreground concentrated on the flight! By the way, I think it's nice to see that this hobby brings so many different types of people together.

[@elxero2189]

I actually like that it's flight characteristics depends on angle also not just thrust so now you actually have to think more about actually flying orientation of the craft to leverage its mobility. You're almost actually flying now not just thrusting around.

[@benjaminwarner524]

Love what Rotor Riot has been doing lately! Great team!

[@aggrobert8490]

I hope the hype cranc up the next years Good job DRL 💪

[@gattmolson]

Drib your making Rotor Riot Awesome, loved this video!

[@YQVN35]

Drib's piloting style adaptation to the racer4 which is new to him was amazing..he could flow no problem and the inverted yaw was sick! 10:51 it flowwwzz indeed

[@fpvlive]

For me even on 2D @ZoeFPV is killing it.

[@nopancreasnoproblems]

I still have a set of Zoe FPV 2010 Motors on my old Diatone gt2

[@Wildicon19]

Wow that Matty Flip 14:48 was awesome! You all kill it out there, and the DRL was amazing also! Drone On!™

[@IanBeaty]

Great episode! It was awesome learning more about the DRL drones and what they are really like. It would be sweet to have one just for the RGB!

[@invisibleaznDJ]

Good synergy with the new crew. EDIT: Zoe really makes RR legit. No offense to the other pilots, all are great. But Zoe makes it feel OG.

[@toddspeck9415]

Zoey just rips it up! Awesome vid. Vanover's flight was super sweet!

[@karlmaestrati9773]

I think this is the best rotor riot video so far. Showing every aspect of this amazing hobby. The building part, testing and freestyle having a good time with friends, sharing experience with more experienced pilots. And finally the competing part at world class level with big events like the DRL. F*** yeah Rotor Riot team rocks !

[@billybbob18]

I built an entire computer from scratch in 3:26 during a tri county skills competition. I got bronze. A drone usually takes longer due to the soldering. Building a drone in 5 minutes is insane. I hope that kind of snap together tech gets better and more standard. I love standards.

[@lukeskywalker8577]

i have been looking forward to see you fly this. I love these drones, make a vid with flite test again pls

[@lamont12373]

Wow ZOE was killing it I love the way she fly’s she so versatile!!!!!!!!!

[@index7787]

She's an insane 3D pilot, true technical skill.

[@stevenpadro8211]

I just recently been hooked on fpv really new to this but definitely looking forward to flying my own drone

[@federicosagun4615]

I just love how the ladies talk tech. I'm in love. Rotor riot forever woohooo

The Jessie P short cameo was awesome. Top notch episode.

[@JohnDoe-or3hc]

Thanks rotorriot I love feature length adverts 👍🏿

[@5307thtoaster]

I was there at the race. Knows exactly where that bando building is. I am a fan of rotor riot, wish you folks would have done a road trip Through Arizona.I live around the mountains and beautiful rock faces.

[@emgee44]

Great episode, really interesting to see behind the scenes and how the sport as a whole is progressing.

[@yosayogi539]

I defiantly want the racer 4 street. Great rip you guys. Thanks for sharing

[@Joe_Blo]

Wow. The spacial awareness of the pro is stunning. Lucky kid. All we had was Pong.

[@tehllama42]

The motors are 2510 stators - realistically you do need 25mm or larger stators to spin 7" props adequately, which makes those absolute beasts of motors. Like everbody else has said - Zoe absolutely crushed it on that thing.

[@zanniemcrae9958]

Nice change of pace, and insight to DRL.

[@LacheanApostate]

Aww Zoe looked so pretty with the hair and makeup.

[@tony1954]

Siiiick quad. I wanna buy the Racer 4 street.

[@1randyharbin]

I signed up to buy 4 of them, but unfortunately it won't get funded at this rate :(

Pretty sick.. Looks like so much fun.. Cant wait till quarantine is over so I can get back out and fly more.

Zoe flies like she is insane, and I love her for it.

[@caniican]

what a great video! So extremely enjoyable over-the-top adrenaline rush! You all have great senses of humor and I'm going to upgrade my drones to these types so I can feed my Need for Speed! love it

[@armandrone9016]

DRL is another world, thank you Team Rotor Riot for bringing some of this amazing segment. I felt a bit like a caveman, but at the same time I was much more stimulated to move on ...

[@rmdcade1717]

Cricket explored the sticks exactly how I wanted to. LSF brought it high for the excellent views, then went for the tight moves, but the quad threw its weight around and gave a real sense of its physicality. Zoe's excitement came through, and her session was a joy to watch. Drew made a heavy-ass quad look graceful. And then Vanover came and really showed everyone who was boss. This was exactly what a Rotor Riot episode should be: a bunch of pilots with truly unique approaches and styles who can make five runs of the same experience seem 100% new and fresh every time another one picks up the transmitter.

[@djbis]

Having bigger size is definitely desirable for the spectators, I get that. I just find it interesting that unlike other major racing leagues (F1, RB Air Race, Moto GP, Etc) DRL doesn't push the limits when it comes to weight. Making heavy-a__ drones their standard is a backwards way to go IMO. Setting an example of performance based on power-to-weight ratio has been the defacto approach to pushing say, the car industry to improve its technology and designs. 🧐

[@GTXgb-gt8lz]

DJ BIS that’s true, but with these big underpowered quads, it pushed pilots to find the best lines and fly smooth, where with lighter more powerful ones you can just hit the throttle to correct mistakes

[@Vousie]

@@GTXgb-gt8lz Also, I don't think they're purposely making them overpowered - it's simply what you get when you have a 1.2 kg drone and that many LED's on it. Both those things are required to make drone racing a spectator sport. Which is DRL's primary aim - in this case, making it entertaining for spectators is more important than power to weight ratio. Like, I would love to go watch one of these races, but I wouldn't really care as much about going to a normal drone race if I couldn't also watch with the FPV goggles. It's just a bit boring to go squint just to see these tiny specs kinda move around. DRL has solved that issue.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Sick video! I had no idea so many people attended drone races.

[@8alakai8]

two years ago they where still running oneshott 125

[@bendedomotor2996]

Oh my god! This is my favourite race drone!

Holy crap- I think Vanover showed you CAN freestyle it👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I'll be ready to buy those session 5s when they deside to use something different.

[@brettm.1770]

That chase footage is A+.

[@Georgewrigley]

Awesome thrilling episode guys ❤️👍😊✈️

[@TomsPropertyCare]

What DRL needs to do is take it outdoors. I'd love to see a mountain course, a field, haystacks, barns, lit up gates on the top of the hill.

[@sasalito]

You guys looked like you all had a BLAST!

[@Dr_Mario2007]

I actually like the idea of modular drones, wreck it, build new one or repair the wrecked drone immediately.

Whaaaaaat? Zoe nailed it first try! Even better than Vanhover (no offense cap). So impresed!

Now I know why I can't find a gopro session anywhere. Not just bestbuy. I wish they would make a more streamlined gopro with less drag. A robust aerodynamic fpv or regular cam would be nice. Carbon frame camera or something.
