Are you plugging in the quad first and seeing a rapid flashing of the lights?

Updated post one with the list of mods planned and added a pic of what it looks like on the outside...Ill also have a pic soon of the x5c camera mounted to it....It will be a little time before the x5 board goes in...I havent decided to use the one in my x5c-1 or just order a new board.

As with most anything, i always wait to see long term reviews before making a decisions to buy something. If they are features you want then you would pretty much have to buy it to get it or, wait and see if it can be added on to your current quad for less money once parts become accessible.

Ok im back...apparently G47 was code for the presidents restroom was out of toilet paper...I never get the good missions :(

Ill be back guys..i just got called in on a G47 classified mission.

Personal top 5 for many..all proven performers with reliability except body on X4...garbage. Hubsan X4 Bayang X9 Eachine H8 mini Jungchen 3015 JJRC 1000

It wasnt really a dji phantom...it was a syma X5C-1 with a modded X8C transmitter...*puts on tin foil hat.

Turn on quad first...should see flashing lights. Turn on transmitter next....lights on quad should then go to a slow flash..(make sure throttle on transmitter is all the way down first and that all the trims are centered.) Now move throttle stick all the way up then all the way back down and...

Ok, so my option 1 mod is not going as planned so im working on option 2..its not as high quality as id like it to be but i think i just need to do something slightly different for it to work out better...Be patient..ill show what it is soon.

I order most everything from Aliexpress..just takes a while to get it...If you can wait for me to get back to the X1R build thread i started you may find it interesting. What parts is it you need?....It shares the same motors,shafts, gears and even props as the newer x5 models which parts are...

Did you measure amp draw with your prop installed? Did you factor in amperage draw under full weight load? Did you factor in the differences in amp draw between two of the 4 motors as you pitch forward or yaw or even roll? As good as it sound there is too many variables to "accurately "...

Its an old trick people use in stock class racing using non rebuildale motors...Since altering timing isnt an option to get more power (legally), this is how they are getting an advantage over those who dont do this trick....What you are essentially doing is creating a smoother less abrasive...

Power the motors up with say an alkaline battery with 1.5v or even 2 for 3v to make it go quicker....submerge the motor only inside of a glass or plastic bowl of soapy water and run let it run for 5 minutes or so. You can find videos of this youtube as well.

Was the battery fully charged? or run down after flying it?

One person on a different forum is pushing this 3s concept but his video proved nothing of more power or long term reliability....The video proved nothing but an idea thats not approved by many...Its not something i would do or recommend to anyone, personally. Try it if you want but, make sure...

Ouch..Stock battery burn up?

One person reporting the x8c TX also binds to the X5S model..Not sure about the X5W just yet.

But yea, more weight isnt such a good thing...this new quad already looks super heavy compared to an X5C model...Huge body, bigger heavier props...bigger on/off switch (x8c)...I just want the Flight board from one if its compatible with the x8c tx and the altitude hold actually works...haha.

No different than adding a little bigger battery...you only need 100mah or so for 7 to 8 minutes of recording....so the stock 600mah battery the new quad has you would just move up to a 700mah and it should be the same difference in added flight time.

Your esc's have a bec built in...you dont need a separate bec because of that.
