Dave_C FPV and Flywoo spent several months developing the first bind-and-fly long range FPV drone under 250g (with 4S 650mAh LiPo battery). The Flywoo Explorer LR can fly an incredible 37 minutes with a 3S 18650 Lithium-ion battery pack, but Li-ion battery packs have not been previously available for purchase, instead requiring the soldering together of individual 18650 Li-ion batteries. Now, Auline has released a complete 4S 18650 Li-ion battery pack for long range FPV drones (see supplier options above). Get your Auline Li-ion pack whilst stocks last and also explore Auline’s range of high performance LiPo batteries. Next, watch Dave_C FPV complete a 37 minute flight covering 20km below.

MultiGP Drone Racing Community – Propellor for 6S Opinions

51466 MCK paired with ~2207 1900-1950kv motors are the crowd favourite over here  Kyle

51466 for majority of tracks, and 51477 for small tight tracks for a little more grip (but less efficiency)  Jon

I’m running R38s with an 80% throttle cap, 6S. 1400mah on 2207 – 1700kv motors (video). I use R38’s because they’re super durable compared to most everything else I’ve run. I don’t know how you high pitch, high kv boys do it. There’s a point where having too much power actually makes you slower. Discovering how to just apply throttle curves in my radio this season has been a fantastic addition to my repertoire of ways to attack a track  Jared

That is my only real gripe with the Gemfan Hurricane 51466. I love the feel and control, but man you can screw up a prop just by laying it on the table wrong  Jim

Headsup R38 for sure!!  Micro

Its still the Gemfan 51466!!  Josef

Gemfan 51466 is still the best racing prop, too  Ryan

MultiGP Drone Racing Community – 6S Race Motor Opinions

I prefer the Tmotors but the Evan Turner motors (Headsup) look awesome  Michael

All good motors that could all get you the win. It’s a preference thing. I vote Evan’s  Skye

I would pick a decent readily available motor for racing, it sucks to not be able to get parts you use half way through the season and have to change your setup  Jim

The Chief motors are sooo smooth! Absolute favourite motor I have ever flown! And I have flown many on that list  Drone

Just get whatever you find in the FPV sales alerts so you can buy spares. A new medium priced motor will outperform a banged up premium priced motor  Jon

Headsup if you can spend more on motors, the eco hyperlites if you need budget  Rob

 

Team BlackSheep LOUNGE – 6S Freestyle Motor Opinions

If paying over $23 per motor get one with ezo bearings, titanium shafts, single coil strands. Right now my first choice would be the T Motor Pro60 IV in 1750kv, Xing 1800kv, Karearea/Armattan TOA, etc. It’s also very personal and you’ll never know until you try a bunch. I’ve found matching the kv to the magnetic spacing and magnetic strength has a big impact. For example strong magnets with minimal spacing paired with lower kv (1750kv) feels less smooth than higher kv with weaker designed magnetic spacing and strength. Titanium shafts are lighter and better milled which means less stripping the prop nut which makes it easier to remove props. The majority of recommendations are just what people most recently purchased and not many have flown a wide variety. Another major factor is how available a motor is. Eventually you may break one and want to replace – hopefully several retailers carry it for your ease  Ryan

You cant compare a 25 bucks motor with a 9 bucks. For 25 I’d get the T-motors. Light, durable and very powerful. If I only had 40 for a set, I’d get the Ecos because i have them and they have been really good. Literally killed all the other 9 bucks motors. Just like hobbywing did with their 60a esc at 45 bucks  Leonardo

Steele V3. Have them on 2 quads and V2 on one. Love them  Nicky

Something you didnt put was the Hobbywing 2306 Race Pro. Absolutely love it  Garrett

I’d try ~2100kv for a really fun 5in 6s freestyle experience  Harry

Was on the same search, went for the Ethix Stout v3, smooth and solid motor  Chris

DRONE RACING INTERNATIONAL FPV – DIY Build Kit Opinions

Tiny trainer is the easiest build I’ve ever done. Solder pads are small but its so easy to build it makes up for it  Joshua

The tiny trainer is better for learning to fly on but it is not an easy build. Bardwell kit should be pretty idiot proof and give a great education  John

Depends on the level of soldering ability. Tiny Trainer is a great little quad, flies well, but it is not an easy build. Having built 30+ 5″ quads over 2 years, and having what I would say pretty good soldering ability, I struggled on my Tiny Trainer. When pads are smaller than the tip of a ballpoint pen tip, you have to be point, literally, with your soldering ability. However from a durability, quality of flying, and how cool they look (especially if you deck ’em out with LED’s), Tiny Trainer is still an amazing little quad to have  Tom

I personally started with tiny whoops  Curtis

I love my Rotor Riot cl1/hd1 builds. Still going strong over 1 year and I learned on them also  Katrina
