    Help needed: Identify this part please?

    Its possible you could use any power distribution board if thats all that burned out on you. Of course with the correct number of hook ups needed to power everything.. Pd boards are actually quite cheap. I have to get ready for work so, im gone for a bit till i get home tonight...look up some...

    Verification of brushed micro FPV build parts

    Im unsure of this regulator you say you need plus possibly a heavier camera...If you simply want to transplant the stock hubsan parts onto a different frame then i see no issues with that...you should lose some weight with the x frame and the right motor holders. I ended up 5.6g less with the...

    Help needed: Identify this part please?

    Im discouraging you from wasting your money on parts that have problems..Youre more than welcome to spend your hard earned money as you wish..Im just giving you my opinion with it all...For the money already spent you couldve built a much nicer quad..You CAN save some money with using...

    Verification of brushed micro FPV build parts

    Maximum input voltage is just that, Maximum....Im sure its a minimum of 3.7v which the board can support..The problem is, something so small with any additional weight (which is already super heavy stock) will certainly kill any sort of decent flight times and you will burn up motors left and...

    Help needed: Identify this part please?

    The gps may can be wired somehow to another fcb but i cant confirm that...you still have an issue with using the stock controller with an aftermarket fcb and whatever protocols it might be compatible with...It could possibly be a common protocol that can be programmed into a new FCB but then...

    Just bought first RC/Quad. Sky Viper V950str. ?Throttle?

    Also, consider some models have throttles like light switches and arent very progressive...Some are too little throttle to all of a sudden too much throttle with slight increase in the stick.

    Help needed: Identify this part please?

    Im not very familiar with the x8 3d but i did some looking around and based on some information i found, the firmware upgrade was intended for the cheerson cx20 and down loading that very well may have been what burned up your electronics...Also numerous reports of other failures with that model...

    Getting Started

    For a first quad you cant really beat a syma x5c-1 for a larger size and a Bayang X9 for something smaller. The bayang x9 is what ive been flying the most since getting one...Parts are super super cheap for it and its more stable than anything i own at this point. For its price point, im not...

    Getting Started

    Hubsan does tend to be a bit overpriced...I actually got mine for $19.99 from the banggood usa warehouse...Hubsan has already stepped up its game with brushless models and they use there name as means of justifying a higher price..Sort of like Walkera has done. Hubsan does have a better quality...

    Upgrade or Syma Add On?

    If this was in stock, i would try this..This would be a dream in a x8c...A nice clean "in body" installation...I cant vouch for video quality but, its gotta be better than the x5c fpv setup...I dont see why an x5c-1 couldnt carry this set up as well...Its not super long range at only 10mw but...

    Upgrade or Syma Add On?

    You can get a much better fpv set up than the low quality entry level syma x5 kit but cost is a factor and so is the x5c's lift capacity. The x5c quad is recommended as a way to learn to fly and not so much as an upgrade platform. If you want a much better platform to upgrade video wise or...

    Stock USB charger question.

    I sent John an email hoping he would be interested in doing this for us...I proposed sending him all the cells needed to use in the comparison. My thoughts are a stock 500 mah syma x5 battery and a few of the "upgrade" batteries in between, as well as the turnigy 750 mah battery for comparison...

    Stock USB charger question.

    Batteries are like most anything, in that you will find a lot of false advertisement and should take the "claimed" numbers with a grain of salt. Having learned quite a bit about batteries used with vaping , i see no reason to believe its any different with most any battery application. Im not...

    Stock USB charger question.

    Im not sure which model number of the battery is correct...Its not so much the polarity thats wrong but how the plug is situated...Some might get the wrong idea because the plug doesnt fit but one way that it must be correct and end burning frying the pcb board. I suppose which ever battery you...

    Anyone vape?

    Havent heard about the recall...most "accidents" ive heard of were from misuse of them...Typically using too low of an ohm from a coil that draws more amperage than the ratings of the battery or on non regulated devices ,draining the cell down too low. I build to .45 .50 ohm and, use 20 amp...

    Anyone vape?

    Forgot to mention im using Sony VTC4 for my mech mods.. SONY "authentic" VTC5 and Samsung 25R batteries to power my regulated devices and use a Nitecore intellicharger i2 to charge them up with. Im looking to get a new Xtar or Efest 4 bay charger and some new LG 3000 mah (true 20 amp) cells for...
