SpeedyBee Mario 5 Frame Goes Pro - O3 Upgrades

[@norbertosumares6066]

Pity they will only cater for the DJI users with this "Pro" version. Would be nice to see them also do this for the Walksnail and HDZero users as well.

I’m mounting an HD zero freestyle V2 in this heat sink right now. I 3D printed a drill jig to precisely drill the 20x20 hole pattern with the tap-drill size for M2 (1.6mm), and then I will tap the aluminum. I will report back after I’ve tested it, and post the STL. Of course this still has the downside of not allowing access to the firmware update port on the VTX, so I’ll have to remove the VTX (or at least one side of the aluminum heat sink) to update firmware. Speedybee could have included these tapped holes and a clearance for the firmware plug, without affecting DJI compatibility 🤬

I'm using this frame and have ordered Kit B. The only glitch I see is with the stack side plates. It looks like the motor wires might not be able to come in from the outside, like most drones. Instead, they might need to be routed around the side plate and not under it. I do like this frame.

[@benkitesurfs]

Yeah that’s exactly right. I built 2 of these frames, one with the speedy bee F7 stack, the other with an Iflight blitz ESC, which has the motor soldering pads on the corners, and it doesn’t fit at all. For the speedybee stack I had to route the wires around the sides, which worked pretty well in the end, but it was pretty annoying to solder

Everybody else must have got their pro version like me a couple days ago

[@inCarsoNatedFPV]

What’s most amazing about this frame is how stable and quiet it is. Super easy quad to tune. I’ve built both 6S and 8S models with the X frame version and absolutely love how both of them fly

[@HunnyFPV]

Old FS225 V2 as also quiet and stable, and also beautiful - that’s why I fell in love with it. If you say it's quiet I ll def give it a try (already ordered one).

[@danpenry8899]

Quiet 😂😂😂😂.. my neighbors from three blocks away say they can hear mine when I'm flying

[@Todd_G_FPV]

Which flies better for more cinematic/light freestyling flights?

[@inCarsoNatedFPV]

@@danpenry8899 when I say quiet, I meant resonance 😎

[@DaywalkerFPV]

I agree! Finally flew mine the other day. Put the supafly tune on it and she was good to go. It flew incredibly smooth with a simple tune.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic review, Ian! Thanks! 😃 This frame has my name! (Seriously, I mean literally.) Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@MrFirrell]

in the DJI Cooling Site, can also fits there HDZero Freestyle V2?

[@benkitesurfs]

It fits, but there is no appropriate mounting holes. I have 3D printed a drill jig to put tapped holes in the heat sink. I’m going to test it and report back and post STLs

[@Yuric78]

Дорогой спасибо за ваши труды. Но почему вы не показываете полеты. ваших видео ?

[@MatCron]

Ordered the DC pro version and xh additional kit. Right today got the additional kit, still waiting for the frame 😀

[@Mupshot]

abrupt end looked away for a second and you were gone like a ninja

[@joelmulder]

Can the O3 be mounted in this without any of the upgrade kits, or will I have to 3D print a mount?

[@MrFirrell]

the Air Intake has anyone tested if they work or if they can be left out (weight)?

[@r1m.dog78]

Howdy all. I've been a LOS wing flyer for years and have just started getting into FPV wings (T1 Ranger 7:15 and a ZOHD Altus on the way). I'd love to buy a quad too and thinking of getting one of the Speedybee 5" frames (currently using their FCs which are great). I have Realflight but also plan to buy Liftoff to practice flying quads. Will building up one of their 5" frames be an okay start with quads or should I go for something else? Also, will Walksnail VTXs (HD Pro, V2, Moonlighting) fit okay in the Speedybee frames? I find it super disappointing that they don't have Walksnail options with their FPV drones.

[@HunnyFPV]

Their frames are a hell to assemble. I am talking out of personal experience: Master 5 HD (V1), Mario 5 DC, Master 5 V2. If you are a total beginner and just want an "easy" frame, than take Apex Evo or Geprc Mark 5. They are way easier to build (assembled both of them too)

[@NeilKagan]

I would like to know how well the moonlight kit from walksnail will fit.

[@danpenry8899]

Are the frames the same but different arms for DC and x version

[@davidchavarria]

What’s the best motors for this version?

[@NaorFPV]

The USB-C will enter through the cover of the O3?

[@brandon9689]

13:54 assembly shows a pretty good shot of the 03 USBC with the cover on. It looks like it has plenty of space to plug in without having to disassemble. That would be horrible.

[@MrVlodato]

didn't we already do this years ago putting plates on the sides of quads and finding out it make for terrible aero dynamics from not allowing air to pass through the body being blocked by the side plates. I mean in like 7 years of flying i think i damaged an FC from impact one time when a branch got in and hit it hard. Just seems like a waste of weight and performance for not much benefit in protection.

[@sullytrny]

I'm glad they make wing fc's, this dji only trend drove me from quads

[@woltervandenberg]

No mention of the fact that the arms are not identical. This is a major design flaw in my opinion. That means you will always need two spare arms to be save. Granted, with a deadcat style frame this is always the case but when I buy a true X frame I like all the arms to be identical.

[@DaywalkerFPV]

With the XH version, all 4 arms are exactly the same.

[@woltervandenberg]

@@DaywalkerFPVyeah I noticed it watching it back. The arms do appear to be identical. Didn’t see the cutouts first time watching.

[@DaywalkerFPV]

@@woltervandenberg just wanted you to have the correct info. Happy flying!

[@ChrisGripeos]

“Aluminum”… it’s pronounced “aluminum”

[@ChrisGripeos]

Very interesting way the legs come together! Niice!

[@woltervandenberg]

You must be American. Just so you know, the rest of the world does not agree with you

[@ChrisGripeos]

@@JDDupuy I was just playing :) I'm Greek. We also pronounce it wrong.

[@hiluxmonstertruckgleno6276]

I have a speedy bee mario 8 drone Nice gear Quality ❤😂
