I love how drib talks to vanover in secret about the fuses being slow blow like he's selling drugs or something 🤣💊 1:48 5:46

[@milkismurder]

Vanover was hooking Drew up with Adderall and they had to change gears when the cameraman tracked them down

[@imnotsure4149]

Me three!

[@BeatBoxBrian]

lol I read this comment right as it was happening. So funny.

[@DominicanSheik]

that was funny, I liked when Ledrib tell Joshua...did you learn something today??? LMAO

[@SkyCandyVisuals]

🤣🤣

[@prudensky]

LeDrib: Psss, hey guy, i have some fuse for you...

[@daich]

Vanover should fly a 1s whoop against the others in a 5”

[@AqueousShunt]

Do that! Newbie drone 1s brushless vs 5 inch!!

[@hannushkevin]

@@AqueousShunt he would still win

[@peterott8053]

on a meteor 75 he‘d rip them.

[@spikethorn2]

Ok he could use a tinyhawk indoor drone on 2s then they could have a chance

[@imnotsure4149]

lol the would be a good show !

[@MaxBeamer]

Legend has it Bardwell sleeps with those goggles on his forehead 😂

[@imnotsure4149]

lol well he’s getting up there he might need a nap !

@@imnotsure4149 older or not he probably can outfly most of the guys who fly lol

[@TiagoTiagoT]

Amp-limited racing sounds like it could be a really interesting for professional racing, since it encourages more efficient quads without being too specific on how the hardware must be modified.

[@4DCResinSmoker]

Could make regenerative braking a thing

[@nono9370]

4DCResinSmoker there would be no point in regenerative breaking....

[@jakewright7381]

boss idea!

Lol 12s goes brrrrrr

[@FlyingPenguinDrones]

I hate Christian. He whooped our butts at Top Golf LMAO

Are you saying Alex looks good only because of his editing. Andre?

Imma end the year with that quote... "we're not that bad, they're just that damn good." Love the content, keep it up!

[@homiethefish]

This might be my favorite episode for 2019.

[@hypurrfpv9483]

I was hoping at the end they would have flown one without the fuse just to see how far ahead Alex would be on a straight up race. I thought MinChan was the fastest. lol

[@AmpHibious]

"bardwell you're in the lead" " STFU" lmao

[@Scarecrow_Jenkins]

Loved this! SUCH a fun episode!!! Keep up the fun experiments, they've been highly entertaining!

[@SiamFpv]

Fun test good job 🔥

[@jasonbeamish5576]

Best episode yet. Ty

[@licensetodrive9930]

3rd Person Piloting. Two pilots fly a course, one in front of the other, but they both view the video feed from the quad at the back, meaning both pilots have to work in perfect unison to complete the couse.

[@cooperlane7147]

I need to see this. Or do it myself, although it sounds very scary. It's like a trust exercise.

[@licensetodrive9930]

Tiny whoops would be ideal for this challenge due to the high propensity for crashing. Also, you could have equally just as much doing this without flying - both people walk the course whilst wearing goggles tuned into a tiny whoop which is stuck to the goggles of the person walking behind.

[@ledchickenfpv7164]

You've got a slight sadistic streak, don't ya. 😉 Sounds like it would be fun to WATCH people try. Jolly good! 😁👍

[@crazychange5635]

I wasn't sure what was going on but I love the experience and the test. Wasn't sure what you guys we're doing with the fuse test but it was interesting.

[@ppporch]

Alex, you are freaking amazing.

[@ledchickenfpv7164]

Fun episode guys. Nicely done. 😁👍

[@danieldavelaar]

Really nice video, this is entertaining!

[@MagicFPV]

📺 The analogue looks so bad it makes me wonder whether it’s intentional 🧐

[@mikeyv7360]

It's got to be.. just more dji advertising. Even the dvr on my dominator v3s dont look that bad

[@fastodon2436]

I've heard from a number of people now that flying analog alongside the dji hd blows your feed out. I think that may be the case here.

[@seamusbyrne8259]

Also, djis are gonna add some weight. Us short course racers are shaving off every gram.

[@___echo___]

@@seamusbyrne8259 idk if thats a good point, they were flying their freestyle setups anyways

[@Vousie]

@@fastodon2436 I think that's exactly it. DJI transmits at 800 mW IIRC (and up to 1200mW), analog is usually used at 200 mW. Of course it's gonna completely blow out your feed... Also, I'm pretty sure that DJI's system runs on a larger bandwidth and/or frequency hops, which would cause massive issues for analog.

[@SDinnovation]

More videos I watch, more I get addicted just outstanding

[@chuckkissel2785]

Slick idea. Awesome video

[@KidIkarus]

This is the most entertaining episode I’ve seen in a while, Bardwell absolutely cracking me up, I promptly lost my shit over his delivery of “shut the f*** up!” 🤣

[@toddspeck9415]

Super fun episode!

[@danieldimitri6133]

You can use a throttle cap in the fc but not set it to "scaled". Actually you can make like a reverse hockey stick looking curve in the taranis as well.

[@Mainekarter2004]

Good to see Justin!

[@antoniomrivera1]

My heart sank along with everyone else when he dropped his goggles lmao

[@masso172]

Could you say you learned something today 😂😂😂 damnn that burned Bardwells fuse quick

[@saturdayfpv6628]

One of the best episodes. Watched it twice.

[@juliusb4973]

Great episode!

[@licensetodrive9930]

On the same theme, see who's the most efficient flyer - all participants fly the same quad around a race course for a few laps or have to do the same sequence of tricks. The winner is the one that used the least amount of battery capacity as reported by the OSD at the end.

[@RTKdarling]

This was great content boys, good job. Looking through the comments I think few people are catching the implications here about learning how to race: Limit yourself and learn how to fly a line. Buying the fastest quad you can find isn't going to win you races. I know that racers know this to be true, but it bears repeating

[@hankb7725]

good stuff. very entertaining and interesting.

[@LegacyStudio]

Thats actually a pretty seriously awesome game idea utilizing fuses like that... I could see that turning into something :0))

[@Edgewalker728]

I think its funny how slow Alex looks with with the really low amp limit. Lol actually a fun video, well done!

[@Ovaflo]

Nice one boys!

[@SteveFPV803]

Time for me to make one of these, "Sneak it onto my buddies quad" muhaha!!!

[@potatoplayz7944]

Just buy it, it is a simple fuse

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Hahah, this was fun to watch. I was laughing my ass off the entire time! And holy hell, as a novice quad pilot, I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to fly under those restrictions. Respect to Vanover, kid's got some mad skills.

[@carlharrison3637]

Thats was proper entertaining, even if Im later than Bardwell to the party lol :)

[@snakeyefpv]

Best episode ever!!!!

[@jakewright7381]

Josh!!! you my hero brother!!!

[@KlockworXMusic]

I had to develop a drone a couple years back and there was a concern with safety because of proximity to people and the custom hardware & software being developed on it, especially while being tested before the final product. We used 10A ATC fuses like that for them because they never popped when the drone operated normally, but would pop if the drone hit something, bugs in the software had it start flying too aggressively, or as a very simple disarming ability for when someone took manual control of the system and was not used to a disarming switch, so even novice users could use it without having to worry about panicking and hitting someone or flying away because they would panic, the fuse would blow and it would plop down on the floor. Sometimes the simplest solutions work the best.

[@Nunez021]

Lol... JB w/ the Blasting Cap.... ha ha ha ... your crazy bro

[@srossi88]

Haha JBs Knoxville drawl started to come out there when he was flustered 😂😂

[@upplsuckimcool16]

LOL at cricket just flying straight up into the moss every time xD

[@davidhoward2901]

Should revisit this one

[@sashagabriel5528]

Mom: where you the one that broke the tv while i was shopping? Me: 7:20

[@stinkerton]

Fun episode. If I had one criticism, it would be that you didn't have a heat where Alex had no handicap. Gotta set a baseline.

[@cdramafpv]

science!

[@glockpoppin]

That kid is a beast on the stix!

[@SergeantRichGolfing]

Awesome episode. This is the type of episodes that made RR popular back in the day with the old crew. Glad to see y’all guys doing the fun shit and,,,, not the over and over and over and over and over DJI shit.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I'm glad you liked the ep but to be honest there is no more or less DJI in this episode than any of the others. All we do is, do the same epic shit as always, while using DJI gear. Corey and me are using DJI in this episode. So IDK what makes this episode feel better to you than the others but anyway, glad you liked it :-)

[@SergeantRichGolfing]

Joshua Bardwell ,, yeah you guys using DJI but it’s not content specific to DJI. DJI is hot shit right now,,, I got it. I’m not against what DJI is about. However,, I think by now we all got the point on how good it is.

[@miketech2]

Hmmmm. A teeny toothpick size track to pop fuses on 6s. 😆 Put a straightaway in there. Love the content guys

[@andyd5321]

You need to do an Amazon grand tour like top gear, you guys collectively are FUNNY 😂

[@OliFPV]

Great show (Y) very interessting to see what u can do with only 10a on a 5" lg

[@LetsFlyRC]

I was LOLing the whole time

[@tribefpv]

That looked like fun 👊 . Be cool to see you guys do a quarter mile, straight line race. Lol it would give the others a chance 👍

[@jana171]

Explosive 10amp Caps sound like the right way to go for a new year special where Bardwell get his needed revenge over CaptainVanover... I trust Bardwell could easily hook us all up with some firecrackers attached somehow to blow when exceeding 10amp... lol... anyways, I frikken LOVED this episode ! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, whichever suits you... Peace !

[@Fleche_FPV]

Very fun !

[@zoltangremsperger5361]

flying against Vanover, it's like a fight against Bruce Lee but he's not allowed to use his hands and legs and he still beat the shit out of you. great vid! 👍

[@hello1322]

Me: *flys at 22 amps on my 7 inch quad* wow this thing is really fast Vanover: i fly at around 110 to 120 amps Me: 😲
