    Quad Flipping On Takeoff (Newb School Project)

    Measure the distance between the center of the left front prop to the center of the right rear prop and this will give you the size of the quad you can use to decide the values...Knowing the actual size is the first place to start to determine proper values rather higher or lower.

    Tutorial: How to extend Hubsan X4 H501S Remote Control Distance

    1200m is a pretty good distance...Thats not bad for a toy fpv system as well distance wise and, still have a clean signal...Impressive. Im hoping for 1500ft from my x8c transmitter, modded.

    Syma X1-R build

    Slight change of plans for this one. 1.) Nihui u807 FCB 2.) Nihui u807 motors (8.5mm)..(Ill have to ground out the stock motor holders to accept the larger motors and will be using 9T MMW pinions.) 3.) No camera for now. (U807 camera sucks so it would most likely be a WL toys camera or fpv kit...

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications thread

    I received my 500mah 25c batteries this week...Ill test these against the stock 500's when i get a chance..They weigh in at 14.8g but also have an extra plastic sleeve all the writing is stamped on instead of stamped on the battery so this could very well be the added weight. The stock 500mah...

    need to upgrade a syma x5c!!!

    The Banggood USA warehouse has them for $45.00 with free shipping and only takes 7 days to get to you...You should receive the upgraded version like i did with the newer v6 board in it...Now buy a Syma X8C transmitter for another $15.00 or so and you now have more range than you would ever...

    need to upgrade a syma x5c!!!

    Yea..parts are fairly cheap but no where near as cheap as for the x5...Its not that difficult to get your x5 fixed and flying like a champ...Its probably the most popular quad in the toy quad industry and its for a good reason...its a bummer you got a defective quad but it does happen. If you...

    need to upgrade a syma x5c!!!

    Most of all your vibration comes from the props not being so well balanced..Balancing the props would make a big difference. Vibration = less motor rpm capability and more power consumption as well as the vibration issue for the camera. Doing nothing to balance the props and doing some credit...

    New Mini Hybrid build.

    I have yet to get into the custom flight boards...Some of these toy boards are pretty nice...This bayang x9 board has some impressive components to it...Some of which you find on custom boards.

    need to upgrade a syma x5c!!!

    You can get a bit more speed from your x5c if you arent opposed to doing some changes. The jjrc1000 flight board is a very popular board used in many different applications to improve a quads performance...Syma doesnt really use a very aggressive programming with pitch of the quad so, its not...

    need to upgrade a syma x5c!!!

    I purchased one but i havent flown it just yet..A few preparations i wanted to do first ..The X8C is not going to be a fast quad..It is more for carrying a camera much like the x5 is. Dont over weight it down and perform routine maintenance and it should be a fairly reliable quad..i cant wait...

    need to upgrade a syma x5c!!!

    Look at what version board you have which is written on the flight board..If it says V3 or v6 at the end of the part number then more range is extremely easy...if it says v5 then you are limited to a stock tx range mod which will give about 80m of range..Stock is maybe 30 to 50m. A new V6...

    syma x8w problem need help

    Sometimes a gyro reset will get a motor working again..Get your battery fully charged and do a calibration with the quad before you conclude the motor is burned up.

    syma x8w problem need help

    Its possibly low voltage cut off...make sure the battery is fully charged and try again. As much throttle as you had and it didnt even try to lift off indicates it probably didnt have enough power.
