    TMOTOR U7-420 + FLAME 80 ESC x 4

    TMOTOR U7-420 + FLAME 80 ESC x 4 We have 4 of each. Used for a prototype and quickly switched over to U5's. These were just way to big for our application. They were mounted and flown a few flights on one day. Cosmetically they are as new. Less than an hour in the air. We will separate the...

    X8 crash

    your imu had power or motors wouldn't have started. Id bet you have servo wires mixed or motor direction wrong or wrong direction props or a combination of them, chris

    New CONNEX "mini" Zero-Latency Wireless Compact HD Video Transmission!!!

    I would expect half the range to equal half the price. 20% savings wouldn't interest me one bit. If I invest in connex I will get the full one.

    Motor Failure Tolerance?

    do you actually loose yaw control or does it go into a spin that you can counter act with opposite yaw input?

    They should hire mother in laws exclusively to test these.

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    Ya. Maybe I was a little hard on it. Lol. That motor pulls 80 amps at full throttle with 18's. I do like to push my bench tests. Moto, thay temp reading was on the Bell. Probably hotter inside.

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    I just smoked a motor on the bench. Tmotor u7-490v2. 2 minutes at 90% throttle with 18" props. pulling 68 amps. I don't use 18" props but these motors are rated for them. I was doing a esc temp test. I am not real deep with electronics. Could this have anything to do with the extra...

    The downfall of using a rectilinear (5.4mm) lens/gopro

    I don't even own a hero 4 anymore but interested in what this software mod was and how they removed pink corners.

    Question about the quad that almost fell on skier Marcel Hirscher

    Straight down with all props turning = dead batteries.

    If you are anal about prop balancing, here is a different approach.

    I did a set of tmotor 17" today. Man, it's a real.dogs breakfast. Some are almost bang on out of the box. Some need 10 minutes of work and some like the one in this pic take an hour to get perfect. Ballancing the hub is a real science with these. This was the only one out of 6 that I...

    Ronin m. What do you guys think for aerial?

    That makes absolutely no sense. The h6 is their most popular size.

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    JuSt in case someone reading can't visualize it. The red connector is an as150 (anti spark)

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    I have thought of it all my friend. I already use a sparkless/sacrificial harness to install battery #1. Then I install battery #2. Then I remove sparkless/sacrificial harness from battery #1 and reconnect #1 normally. Make sense?

    IOSD troubles

    I have a movi gimbal same idea as Ronin. I have 1 monitor for osd and fpv cam. one for main camera view. 2 different immersion vtx's. Different channels, one set using left hand polarized antennas and the other using right hand. That's the best you can get.

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    Here is my process. A drop of ca glue to hold them together. Bend the wires. - to one side and + to the other. Trim the first wire so it doesn't extend past the outside of the second cap. Slip heat shrink over the wire then solder the 2 together. Slip a tiny length of heat shrink...

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    The same type of caps but ultimately the only downside to going larger is weight and cost. They weigh nothing and cost nothing imo.

    ESCs and extended power wires: Should we add capacitors?

    This thread is an oldie but a goodie. I'm thinking about moving my esc location further out for a number of reasons. I did this esc today just as a mock up. Stock caps are 470uf and these are 1200. Probably way overkill. 1 x 1200uf would fit better and effectively double the stock...

    Heavy Lift Tuning Advice

    have you shimmed each motor referencing off the imu using a smart phone level app? Andrews arms, due to the mandrel manufacturing process have a slight twist, no more than 0.04mm across the length from my experience. This seems tedious but is one step closer to perfection. It showed...
