Ok- Taking a second look- I see a third balance plug. You are running 3 batteries ?

One thing I did was drill a small hole in the booms for the power wires. I debated this as I thought it may weaken the booms. I ordered a piece carbon fiber tube that would just fit inside the booms (3 in long) and epoxied in place to strengthen that area. The wires are covered with flex weave...

Yes- I am going to upgrade the gimbal and camera. Just trying to fine tune and get a few bugs out. Only two flights so far. I was impressed with the flight times but once I go to a heavier video setup the times will drop.

From your pictures I see two batteries but I see 3 red wires and 3 black wires going into I red and 1 black. How did you get 3 red and 3 black from 2 batteries ??? Maybe I am missing something- no coffee yet!

Do a search for Tarot 810 images- lots of pictures of different wiring schemes. My build list----- Tarot 810 frame plus extra bottom plate Arris landing gear Naza V2 Dual PSB 200 amp capacity DJI E800 Motors & ESC DJI mini osd Futaba R7018SB 18ch receiver Futaba 14 SGH radio Dual Multistar...

I agree- If it flies fine with one battery but a parallel setup causes heating I would take a hard look at some connections.

Kratos- I just finished an 810 build using Naza and DJI E800 motors. I have been able to get 19 minutes of flight time and the esc will get very warm. They need some airflow. The final weight is 4600gr.

Way to go Hoki!!! That is a clean machine and cute too!

I had an early Phantom 2 that lost power at around 300 ft. Dropped like a rock and I grabbed a trash bag and picked up the remains. Battery still had 3/4 capacity. Lost the power internally. Not a pretty sight. The best we could figure was the battery contact inside had cracked and lost the...

Is the 680 balanced? Could you post a picture or short video? Do you have another GPS to try? I know I am asking a lot of questions but don't have much to go on.

What colors does the NAZA led show? Did you do the compass calibration? Was the 680 completely level when you checked the IMU? Did you check the ESC using the software? You are right- something is wrong.

You need to have voltage in to check for voltage out. Positive is red and negative is black. The in will be your battery and the out will be your 5 volts when you adjust it. I see you are holding the board with a clamp- just make sure you don't short something out with the metal clamps. Good luck!

John- I also use the Naza M V-2 and have been for 6 years. I have never had a problem with a 450 Quad, a 550 Hex and building a 810 Hex. All have the Naza. I also play the lottery!!!!!!

Hoki- I'm getting dizzy following your posts! Why are you taking the motor apart? Certainly you are not going to be soldering in there. Are you replacing bearings? I thought this one was flying good

John- A real beauty!!! It looks like is dialed in pretty good- nice and smooth. I am working on a 810 and I hope it is half as stable as yours. Good job!!! Al

You should have a black and a white on the front and a white and a black on the rear. One is clockwise and the other is counter clockwise. The flight controller should have a diagram of the prop locations in the setup.

I know some radios have a switch that allows a change from normal batteries to lipos. And again some radios you have to go into the setup and change battery types. Did the manual say anything about this?

I love PRODRENALIN !!!!!

Hello to all- Not new to multicopters as I started with a Phantom 2, then built a 450 and to a 550. Currently working on a Tarot 810 for video work. I read each and every post on this site and have learned a lot of tips and how to troubleshoot problems constructing and setting up...
