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 – FPV Racing Camera Opinions

A top level pilot gave me what he races with and I must say I love it and switched all my kwads over. It’s the swift 3 with a 2.1. The pilot was the multigp champ himself 😎😎😎😎  Jim

80% of them are low latency to where we wouldn’t notice it anyways. If you want a good tried and tested cam that won’t let you down, the micro eagle by runcam 😉 or you could go for that ccd yummy new ethic cam. My next one most deff  Jason

I run nothing but RunCam swift (nano and full) and the video is fantastic  Nik

Runcam racer Nano 2 is awesome!  Vincent

 

T-MOTOR FPV motors – FPV Freestyle Camera Opinions

DJI. 👑 Did my first Bando yesterday. Man what a difference between my Predator and hdo Rapidfire goggle. Had no breakup and no weird latency. And the image quality was superb  💪💪💪  Martijn

I don’t fly freestyle but the Runcam Racer 2 / 3 is very popular even for freestyle here in Germany  Daniel

Predator. FTW  Vik

TINY WHOOP – Micro FPV Pilots of the World – 1S LiPo Opinions

GNB 300 for freestyling and cruising, GNB 260 or NBD Nitro Nectar 250 for racing  Danny

I like the URUAV 550 more than the Emax 450, I know it has a little bit more punch  Joe

Rotor Riot Community – 5″ Freestyle Frame Opinions

Ak47! Best frame ever!  Je

Fly a lightweight glide build and you’ll never buy another 150 gram frame  Cecil

Love my Flynoceros Sköll v3. Super customizable, can take a beating, and most importantly has a lifetime warranty  Chris

Alien/Apex/Reverb/Martian for the poor. Easy to tune, flies great and takes a lot of torture  Leonardo

Apex, BotAFX, and Acrobrat  Jacob

ANYTHING FLYNOCEROS!!!  Josh

Source one, it’s open source, everyone cuts it and it’s a fraction of the price of the other frames and will probably fly just as good! Save your money for better components or replacing arms. Don’t fall for the bait and switch warranties that are a pain in the ass to use, leave you waiting for parts and some are limited time only  Cody

I do not want to name names. But I have 3 very expensive quads and one Source one v3 and the source is becoming my favorite quad. It is has very low frame noise which is great for tuning and handles really well. That said everything about fpv is so personal that this is just what is working for me  Dustin

 

OFFICIAL DJI DIGITAL FPV OWNERS GROUP – 5″ HD (Air-unit) Freestyle Frame Opinions

I almost bought the skyliner hd but all that gap and lack of standoffs under the top plate I decided not too. It’s a shame too because I thought it was a good looking frame. I ended up ordering the dji edition badger which is supposed to be here today. Hope it flys well with no vibrations  Frank

Readymaderc strix screech 5.5 & 6in 5mm boomerang arms & 97g w all titanium hardware added includes motor screws 🙂 MORGAN FPV YouTube if ya wanna see how they fly ….spoiler smooth AF  David
