Eachine Wizard X220S Review

[@bwanaPele]

I guess RCModelReviews is not alone. I hope these are early pre-production units and that consumers actually receive working units. It does not bode well that Eachine is sending out broken units to reviewers. They should know better.

Mine works!! (So far! O.o ) Thanks for taking the time to review it, Al. You're one of the best!

[@AlbertKimTV]

thanks!

[@rossuk123]

mine came with one motor out of action. but i found the loose wire and resoldered. enjoying learning to fix these things! Also im going to get a new receiver as the reception got a bit flaky at a distance

[@EiGhTfT]

2018 and i got to enjoy the same problem as you did you just replace the esc board after all? could just remove the board and run the esc's on the arms if i have some spares around couldnt i?

[@johngraboski]

I have a followup question? What's the easiest way to turn off the LEDs? In BF of simply disconnect wires from the PDB?

[@AlbertKimTV]

+John Graboski you have to disconnect them

[@johngraboski]

Albert Kim right! I'm wanting to cut down on vtx noise... I posted at rcgroups www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2892388-Eachine-Wizard-X220S-ARF-RTF-Upgraded-Wizard-w-F4-BF-OSD-DShot-600-30A-ESCs/page39#post38125058

[@AlbertKimTV]

The noise comes from the ESCs. You need an LC filter.

[@thmls5744]

Hey Albert, do you want to remove the sticker from the motor and see if there are other specs under it?

[@ordnaloc]

i know whats going on, its a wire that s not making contact all the way on the esc or its just a filament shorting your esc... i got the same problem this weekend and it was indeed a tiny hair size wire that was shorting my esc and rebooting my fc. cheers PS: i really want to buy this baby , but not all the reviews are positive..

[@DoubleA_AMAfpv]

It is a bad ESC. I just got the older version and it had two bad ESC's. I e-mailed them about it and they were nice enough to replace. Going to take a while though I am sure. If they replace your four in 1, then you could hang on to it for spare parts.

[@DoubleA_AMAfpv]

I noticed the beep tone after twitching. My test came from moving esc from motor to motor. They only effected the motor it was on.

[@stefanodestroyer763]

take a look at the connection between the esc and the board.. it can be unconnected!! let me know if u solve that issue!!

[@AlbertKimTV]

There will be a follow up video.... will be tearing this apart to get it working so stay tuned...

[@charleswarwick4849]

Too bad about all that, did you swap the motors to check if it wasn't a bad motor? I saw something similar and swapping a good motor to the bad position showed normal movement and the bad motor wouldn't spin regardless of which ESC slot it was on. Or is there a tell that I'm missing here that indicated to you that it was an ESC?

[@AlbertKimTV]

I will find out soon. I plan to take it apart and fix it and mod it. Video coming soon...

[@aboss00]

Will you do a review on the kingkong flyegg? There is quite a demand for them and also the frame is available separate and seams promising. Would love to know what you think of it!

[@AlbertKimTV]

+aboss00 its out of stock. I will get one when they are back in stock

[@p73737E]

aboss00 whoa this one looks phenomenal

[@p73737E]

Albert Kim there is stock in aliexpress

[@ggweslie4145]

yeah Flyegg i got the 110GT love it had the way the 4&1 esc board is. i looks like the flyegg comes with a 20x20 stack! :)

[@aboss00]

PicoBLX no OSD :) would be nice to see from Albert if with a bit a filing he can make the Foxeer Arrow Micro (that includes OSD) to fit the build, the gap is missing 3 mm of so. I personally ordered the frame and will rebase the guts from another build.

[@yayathidayat6678]

:( you have to change all of the esc

[@lgrip1lgrip178]

composite not for me, 2nd review or 3rd having problems with this unit. Almost bought this heep, Sure happy I did not.

[@Onlyone10184]

rcmodelreviews had some problems as well

[@jackbland4659]

was it sent early to u cause ur a reviewer? or did u preorder? because i am preordering mine and do not want a faulty model

[@AlbertKimTV]

+James Smith early batch for review. Probably just unlucky too... reviewer's curse

[@highwaltage]

GX-215.... my new favourite basher. stuff these outdated looking things. good for freestyle tho. with all that cargo space. spewin that they sent out a dud. shows the production volume limits of eachine. more units less QC

[@DawnHub666]

Yeh. lol. Lets send out test units to get some hype. And then they just send them all out broken. I dont understand this. How rubbish ?

[@AlbertKimTV]

Not all were broken. I think myself and rcmodelreviews got the duds. Looks like all the other reviewers got good ones. Nevertheless, I'm still sad. 😭

[@nevTk-oe9ud]

dang bad luck look forward to flight :)

[@scottrostad5021]

Eachine = EPIC FAIL! Not too good for instilling confidence in customers to purchase the new 220S! 😕
