CHANGE WHOOP RACING FOREVER?

[@solongbattlestar]

Sorry Stu, I think the A30 from GNB is a better alternative to bt2.0 for 65mm whoops. I have plenty of bt2.0 batteries and I'll buy A30 batteries to replace them. For 75mm whoops I go with xt30. All of my 75 whoops are now digital HDzero and WS. Bigger whoops can take 450, 550, 650, and 720mah batteries. The slight weight increase from a30 or bt2.0 to xt30 is negligible on a 30g+ digital whoop. The lightest 65 digital HDzero whoop of mine is 23g running A30 connector and bt2.0 batteries. p.s. Thanks to you for getting me into FPV with your emax tinyhawk 2 and what you need to get started and how to video.

A30 is open source, established, and is almost completely compatible with BT2.0. The clear problem with this connector is that the polarity is not obvious, which is critical. BT2.0 and A30: round is ground. It needs some testing but by the looks of it I don't think the electrical properties of this will be any better than A30.

[@jeromemarie4770]

Dude! one more connector for 1s. There is already too much connector at 1s

[@marathi22]

It's not changing whoop racing. A30 already did this and is widespread, and even being BT2.0 compatible, I don't think many people will make the switch.

[@johncarold]

Hey Stew, Nice video. Personally, I prefer the BT2.0, my 1s charger is already able to be used. Thanks for the video

[@MasterApeFPV]

A30 had a purpose: open source- making it cheaper - and being compatible with Bt2.0. (Certain lipo producers will charge extra for A30 1s lipos if you want to get them produced - wanted to make my own brand) This however will just be one of those “just emax” connectors I feel like: just like their motor mounts; Nanohawk and TinyHawk2 I am looking at you!!

[@FluffRat]

A30 is the cheaper open source alternative to BT2.0 we already have. GNB2.7 is slightly better electrically and also open source but not as well supported. At this point I'm not sure I would switch off BT2.0/A30 unless the replacement could push XT30 amps at sub gram weight.

[@clean1566]

Just bought my first bt2.0 battery, because my new Mob6 needed it. As long as this fits all my new bt2.0 batteries, I’m cool with it. Still using my ph2 batteries with adapters. I’m not a racer. Lol. Nice vid Stu!

[@tdogfpv]

I think Stu’s point with this, is showing for a similar weight, you get a 20a burst connector, whereas no other connector has done this, I see 15a burst max, and as someone who has direct soldered a battery, I think I’ll have to give em a shot!

[@breakfire9712]

this seems more like their answer to the A30 connectors becoming the open source standard vs them just wanting to do something nice for the hobby, im not saying anything new that the other people in the comments havent said already regarding the A30 compatibility with other already established well performing connectors like bt2.0, until JB does a video on this connector proving its significantly better than A30/bt2.0, i personally see no reason to buy these connectors, and from the sheet they gave you, they seemed to conveniently leave out the existence of A30 connectors entirely which have already fills the shoes of what this connecter is attempting to do, but does it significantly better

[@_tcmore]

Yeah A30 and BT2.0 are compatible. A30 is open source. Nobody is jumping on this. They did this way too late.

[@HalfChrome]

The offense between these and BT2.0/A30 is that these will work on 1S and 2S

[@putrid.p]

@@HalfChrome what makes this better for 2s?

[@FluffRat]

I run A30 and BT2.0 on 2S all the time. I can see the argument for XT30 being a better compromise at that size, but the higher voltage isn't actually a problem.

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

FPV drones need a new design in battery connection cause the angles side and flat side can still be reversed connected and spark and your contractor just got shorter. Having a half moon XT60 or XT30 would be the best way to go. But we'll see what China comes up with since there the only country that can make that change

[@JohnCuppi]

This will end up being a connector that only Emax or their affiliates use.

[@KOFPV]

We already have a better connector, bt2.0, and the other one. We don't need another one that just complicates things. I haven't heard that these are any better. I like emax except ther stuff doesn't play well with others. Its all you have to mostly use emax parts.

[@adamcfpv5372]

It really doesn't bother me that companies keep making stufflike this the more we have the better i think

[@aracrg]

Personally, BT2.0/A30 for 1S. BT3.0 for 2S. It will take a lot to convert away from this now.

[@UAVfutures]

IM SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO

[@PhalanxFPV]

Not accepted

[@PhalanxFPV]

Why is there a bomb on your headphones

[@Dorff_Meister]

A30 covers it.

Is digital whoop racing a thing?

[@itsjase92]

I feel like this will be about as popular as BT3.0, totally unnecessary and dead on arrival. A30/BT 2.0 looks much nicer too because you can't accidentally plug it in the wrong way

[@putrid.p]

@@itsjase92 this can't be plugged in the wrong way

[@reworkfpv7359]

Hi Stu, the XT-30 is still the best option, at least for me

[@ozmosyd]

more like Jellyfin and chill?

[@RickLaBanca]

I switched to a30 this is late.

[@Hankbob_Hillpants]

Haha A30 go bzzzzz

[@ChainsawFPV]

Another new battery connector??? I still use PH2.0 on my whoops, and beat most people. Going to use them again this season for the same reason as last season, because I was told I could not do well with them. I qualified 8th in Elite class with them by the way.......... It's not the battery, its the pilot.

[@marathi22]

Still doesn't change the fact that A30/BT2.0 performs better, sags less and is gentler on your cells.

[@Loophole120]

Why waste everyone’s time with this lol?

[@MichaelRogersJesusrules]

A30 I just wasted nearly 20 for 5 pair .sad ...thank you

[@billh308]

The solution is to NOT RUN 1S! Ohms Law, higher voltage = lower current

[@putrid.p]

@@billh308 how many 65mm tinywhoops are on 2s?

[@FluffRat]

@@putrid.p I mean technically you could shoehorn the X12 AIO from a Mobula7 or 8 into a 65mm frame, and then rubber band 2x250mah to the bottom... You probably shouldn't... but you could. :P

[@WJdriver000]

Make more interesting content and stop shilling. Thanks

Xt30?

Stew bro, pls, buddy can you ask Bob to give up the flsky eco systems their posesd with? Give us cross fire n fly sky🎉
