Build a High Quality 6S FPV Racer - TransTEC Laser S

[@thebikeracer]

One of the best build videos I've seen.

[@qcsupport2594]

I like how you kept the video short and sweet. You have the RotorBuilds page to back up the gritty details. There are some nice build tips in the video and the writeup. Camera work in both formats is really nice. I could have used just a bit more "why" on the parts choices. Otherwise I wish all build video were like this!

[@whiffles]

Thanks! And yeah you've got a good point. I could put more "why" in there. For example the Ratel is a cheaper alternative to the Micro Eagle with a debatably better picture. As for the frame, I just like the look of it and xt-xinte has a great price on it.

[@astrofpv7035]

Your builds are friggin awesome Whiffles! They're pretty dang great looking too! Awesome video.

[@Lehanvander]

sweet build! I have one, with the Xing 2207 1800kv, Spedix IS40A 20x20, Tiny'sLEDs Unity 20x20 FC, Runcam Racer, Unify Race, Pyrodrone 1250mah 6s, and HQ 5.1x4.1x3 v1s. flies great

[@namkhatoner6492]

May I ask why you mounted the battery on the bottom? Most other builds I've seen place theirs on the top. Does the placement of the battery impact moment of inertia in some critical way or is it mostly just stylistic choice? Your builds are super cool BTW

[@getsnookerd9694]

Love the build Whiffles also wondering if his quad can efficiently fly off a 4s battery

[@whiffles]

Sure as long as you get higher-kv motors.

[@alwinlee5864]

I'm new to the hobby. For my first drone, do you suggest i build or buy a FPV drone?

[@muhammadzaydabas6470]

Hi Whiffles I'm just wondering if I can also fly this quad on a 4s battery?

[@whiffles]

Sure, but I recommend 2100kv+ motors for 4S.

[@Djamboo]

I like my ratel but I've seen that a lot of people had them freeze mid flight and sometimes i have to restart it a couple of times for it to show colors correctly so I would upgrade to something like a micro eagle

[@whiffles]

I've never heard of those issues, but that sounds terrible!

[@mikoajlewandowski8590]

This thing looks awesome. Definetly my next drone is going to be something like this. What's the max speed you have achived flying it?

[@whiffles]

I haven't pushed it but I'm sure it can do upwards of 80mph.

[@kawasakimouse]

Sooo soooo clean. I wanna build my first drone like this 😍

[@kawasakimouse]

Then i noticed u have less than 1k subs. WTF! This is premium content dude! Keep up the good work

[@whiffles]

@@kawasakimouse Thank you! Gotta start somewhere.

[@kawasakimouse]

Whiffles that fore sure, but i can’t compare this to bigger youtubers. Because this is way better! No chit-chat, straight to the point. And overall sooooo clean image, instructions, audio and the build. Normally i dont comment on build videos but this needed a thumbs up! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@kawasakimouse]

Whiffles one quick question. What is the diameter of the motor-cable sleeves? U have any links for that? 🤭 Cheers 👌🏻

[@whiffles]

@@kawasakimouse It's called Para-Max and it's got a 1/4" diameter. It's the perfect size for these motor wires.

[@3acspace]

Clean build bro.. will definitely checkout the hglrc forward vtx soon

[@whiffles]

The original VTX died on me. I have no idea how and I never even got a flight in on it. I replaced it and have no issues.

[@3acspace]

Whiffles what vtx do yo replace it with?

[@whiffles]

@@3acspace Same one

[@fen1x_fpv]

Very nice looking build as always.

[@kai8714]

Clean

[@jamestavernier8222]

Hey Whiffles, thank you for these tutorials they really help new builders such as myself. Question, i have the same iron as the one used in this video(Hakko fx-888D) and have trouble with getting a nice ball of solder on my 4in1s, could you please tell me what temp you usually use and any other tips if you think they might help.

[@whiffles]

I use 700 degrees and I flux the pads before applying the solder.

[@timgriffioen1371]

This build or the blue build video

[@omaramreki1288]

Hi please tell price Brushless motor

[@TheCiardellas]

I’m thinking about building this quad with the dji digital fpv system Was actually looking at the same motors Would you recommend the 1700 or 1800 for 6s?.. I want the fastest possible combination I’m not sure what stack I’m going to use yet Your build looks really great 👍 How does it fly?

[@whiffles]

Just keep in mind that the DJI system can't take more than 4S so you need a flight controller with the proper voltage output. The difference between 1700kv and 1800kv is minimal. It's really up to your prop choice. This rig flies great.

[@TheCiardellas]

Whiffles thanks for your insight!

[@Peter10654]

I like the build but I also like you small screw driver... Can you please share the info where I can buy it? Thanks

[@whiffles]

Sure, here's a link: bit.ly/2FK3uT7

[@edubermudez]

Wow very good my friend 👌 a great long range,, cheers from spain 😁 edu, 👍

[@yoavshalev2255]

Amazing! Can you make a fly video Thank you!

[@whiffles]

Yeah I've been meaning to share some footage from this. Thanks for reminding me!

[@yoavshalev2255]

@@whiffles no problem! Thank you so much!!!

[@dylans8426]

Awesome as always!

[@viseshvivekanandan6459]

Sooooo clean build 🤩🤩

[@bbuildingmarch7060]

Hi, what is that electric screw driver thing called that you use?

[@whiffles]

Wowstick 1F+

[@yashasranjan8497]

What size mesh sleeve did you use?

[@michaeltait2276]

What was the length of the para cord? Was it 3/8 or 1/4

[@whiffles]

You need 1/4 for this size motor wire.

[@PaddleDogC5]

Always tops! Thanks

[@alexandrucovaliov8989]

Awesome video and very clean build. The weight looks scary a little bit. My ImpulseRC 5" Aliens are 310g :\

[@fpv_drone_adventure]

Can you run the battery up top? Thanks

[@whiffles]

That may work, but I'd worry about damaging the VTX with the strap in a crash.

[@fpv_drone_adventure]

Whiffles thanks

[@muhammadzaydabas6470]

Is crossfire worth it I'm looking at buying my first transmitter and I'm wondering if i should get frsky or tbs crossfire

[@whiffles]

It depends on your budget. Crossfire receivers cost quite a bit more than FrSky receivers. I do like that Tango 2 though. I might just buy one when they're available.

[@vojtechreichsfeld6639]

Where can i buy that Red TUBE cover for wires please anyone know???

[@whiffles]

It's called Para-Max and you can buy it at Amazon. There's a link in the part list on RotorBuilds.

[@nullwarrior9927]

which transmitter you are using

[@whiffles]

For this I'm using the Jumper T16 Pro, but I've since moved away from that. I'm using the Tango 2 Pro as my primary radio.

[@lorenzo220580]

What lipo do you suggest? 6s sure?

[@whiffles]

I recommend the GNB 1100mah 6S.

[@ragefpv830]

Can i use 1700KV motors instead ?

[@whiffles]

Sure, that's fine for 6S

[@ragefpv830]

@@whiffles Thanks, what KV to what KV motors would you recommend for 6s

[@devve2kcc185]

the esc handle 6s good?

[@whiffles]

Sure, no issues yet.

[@KLNYC]

clean! i always visit RB

[@timgriffioen1371]

Can I see you flying with this beauty?

[@whiffles]

Wow, guess I never posted any footage. It's probably one of my favorite builds over the years. Flies great!

[@timgriffioen1371]

@@whiffles thnx man. Gonna build it soon👍

[@aleksandrsposts3484]

Well, if you open all provided links and count prices, in the end it will be about $240 which are not $200

[@whiffles]

Thank you for the heads up! I guess the prices have gone up. I changed the title of the video.

[@Hellmuthsilva]

I would like to see a build to fit the dji digital system

[@DemoPwr]

This was very informative, and a pleasure to sub your channel. Thank you so much for sharing!🖐️😎👍
