T-MOTOR FPV motors – 6S LiPo Opinions

Popularity contest isn’t necessarily the best way to make decisions, but the better options are popular for a reason. Yeah – knowing enough about the chemistry and electrode differences that are why the performance differs, different options are good for different reasons. R-Lines, and similar silicon-graphene cells are the highest specific power output, but you give up a little capacity. The pure graphene options are actually better for sustained loads and have better usable capacity – the CNHL White G+ are actually better batteries for most freestyle uses than most of those options on there, just most people haven’t tried them. The Acehe’s are even better, just impossible to find  Daniel

 

DRONE RACING INTERNATIONAL FPV – 6S LiPo Freestyle Opinions

I’ve used the tattu batteries for over a year flying freestyle, never had one die or have issues  Mike

Tattu R line V3 🙂 just because they are light and deliver some real power  Josef

Tattu v3 all the way  Casey

I have been using the same Acehe 1500 packs for over a year with no issues. In my experience Tattu are for racers that dont buy their own lipos and only use them a few times  Huey

I love the black edition!! Chinahobbyline  F6 FPV

Unless you’re getting a good discount on those tattu batteries, they aren’t worth it  Ryan

MultiGP Drone Racing Community – 4-in-1 ESC Race Opinions

So its clear, the Talon Gigawatt and the Aikon AK32PIN are the same ESC. Just in different colours is all  Zaine

Diatone Mamba, buying two instead of one since they all break at some point anyway 🤷‍♂️  Jannik

 

DRONE RACING INTERNATIONAL FPV – 4-in-1 ESC Freestyle Opinions

I use the Pyro 45A and its perfect  Daniel

Hobbywing 60A is 45 bucks, which is hard to beat  Leonardo

 

Team BlackSheep LOUNGE – Single ESC Freestyle Opinions

I have the hakrc 35a esc’s, not 1 issue, hiccup, blip, nothin. Been solid since dat 1  Brandon

The NBD’s are nice for the metal bezel/heatsink on top and integrated LEDs – I use them on my nighttime quad… And I haven’t had any go out, but that’s just a matter of having a prop get stuck wrong 🤷‍♂️  Israel

OFFICIAL DJI DIGITAL FPV OWNERS CLUB – Prebuilt Drone Opinions

Loving the DC3, DC5 in the future  Paolo

I have a dc5 and a dc3 ❤️❤️❤️ and I just love them ❤️❤️❤️ they fly so well  Dario

*Iflight redid the camera mount and it leaves the camera very vulnerable to damage in even a bad landing. I am not happy at all with mine  Chris

Enjoying the DC5. I’m new to fpv but seems fairly solid. (Crashed it a few times)  Blake

I have the Xilo Phreakstyle from GetFPV and love it. Pretty sure its their best/most reviewed DJI pre-built as well. Surprised to not see it on the list  Kevin

I started with DC5 so I had a working Quad from day 1 and when I broke the frame I build a dji badger and I really prefer X design over DC5 design (can’t remember name atm). The dji badger flies so much better  Jesper

BetaFPV does not sell extra hardware for the Beta95x. You can buy a new frame but it doesn’t come with any screws or spacers. This info is directly from BetaFPV themselves. That’s the first issue that relates directly to the second issue – its incredibly fragile. Mine also came missing 2 motor mount screws. I’m looking into other options and would not buy the 95X again  Joey

 

OFFICIAL DJI DIGITAL FPV OWNERS GROUP – Digital 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

 

OFFICIAL DJI DIGITAL FPV OWNERS GROUP – Flight Controller for DJI Air Unit Opinions

So, Ive decided for all of my quads with the DJI system to run off a separate BEC (BEC = battery elimination circuit or voltage regulator). Reason being, I suck at this. Bad. I crash a lot and go for cool cinematic shots when sometimes I should hold back. One of the things I’ve noticed during my numerous crashes is that the BEC on the FC seems to be a weak point in a crash. Crashes that the DJI air unit would have otherwise survived. I’ve had 3 different FC BECs go bad during a crash from 3 different manufacturers that have smoked an air unit. I have yet to have an external BEC go bad on me. Plus, I don’t have to worry about looking up if the FC can supply power to the air unit or not  Nick

Bad experience with Mamba f405 9v going bad on multiple boards. Also it skips out badly if you crash ever  JT

 

OFFICIAL DJI DIGITAL OWNERS GROUP – Digital VTX Opinions

I’m not sure which I like better. Vista or air unit. Both have their purpose. For me normal 5” flying and racing around trees I prefer air unit. Micro sized and light weight 5” on a normal open course vista  Kelvin

I haven’t flown my AU’s since I got my Vistas aside from the comparison vlogs 😳  Conrad

For me the vista and bandoo got enough range on 200mw, no problems with analog users and more range than 800mw analog  Patrick

5 inch = AU, otherwise Vista  Rick

DRONE RACING INTERNATIONAL FPV – Low-latency / Long-range Transmitter and Receiver Opinions

If u have the money buy the Crossfire lite and be done with it forever. Never need another upgrade. The Crossfire micro is good for mid range but if u want the option to fly far, might as well go for the better one (Lite). The difference between full Crossfire and lite is bluetooth and 50 bucks  Ryan

I own or have owned all 3 (TBS Crossfire transmitters). Have not done any true long range flying. I do mostly racing and freestyle. All have worked great, but if you do not have the need to use any other protocols get the tango 2 hands down imo  Rob

 

T-MOTOR FPV motors – Low-latency / Long-range Transmitter and Receiver Opinions

I’d say crossfire but I can also say that I have had a good and easy time with r9 so there isnt a wrong here  Aryan

Dude just buy a crossfire no more polls!  David

 

Longe Range Holligans – Long-range Transmitter and Receiver Opinions

All the crossfire receivers besides the giant diversity one are pretty much the same thing. I use the micro in wings but I use the nano in my quads and smaller wings I use the nano diversity. It’s pretty much the same thing. Anything crossfire works the best hands down and I think a lot of people can agree with me on that. Don’t long range with spectrum or anything. If your gonna long range for a quad just get crossfire  Christian

Holy hell man! Stop with the poles! Just buy a crossfire and be done with it  Mike

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
