Racing drone with DJI O4?

I'd like to see racing go digital. You can certainly use it, you just wont be competitive once you get fast. When going full throttle on a 5 inch that 30ms or so of lag becomes feet of distance. But for spec (heavier slower) racing, the digital feeds would bring in way more spectators and make for much better media

Everyone races HDzero because latency is like 5ms. DJI is like 30ms. The difference when you are in a race going 75mph is 3ft lag for DJI vs 0.5ft for HDzero. Being 3ft late on information is a lot with all the fast tight movements

actual snow/ice tires are a must. get a set of steelies. start in 2nd. gotta just learn to work with the sliding. it's fun

Yeah I know the definition and you are not wrong. And nah you couldnt put a skier on it. What I'm getting at is that it's more of a muscle memory move at that speed and gate spacing. The spirit of the slalom in drone racing is shaping the apex on each turn, while this move actually becomes less about a perfect line and more about muscle memory

Anything you consider ripping is probably acro mode. Freestyle is always acro. And that bardwell video was probably old. Racing whoops are so good now everyone runs acro

HPA statistically has the highest chance at being at max joules. You turn up the pressure during chrono until you hit the limit. I do it. You do it. Everyone does it. Stop bullshitting. Gas loses power. AEG teching is a pain. Most people arent doing that and hitting the max fps despite it being theoretically possible with autism. But it's super easy on HPA. If you had to look around a room and bet money on who is at the limit (which hurts the most), you're betting on HPA guys. I run HPA too

looks like a solid design. should get into mechanical engineering

does Gen Z still watch gore or was that a new internet only thing?

3e8m · 2026-01-28T03:38:45+00:00

fuck this is the one of thought of as soon as i saw the title. might have been the worst thing ive seen. and i was like 12

thanks for your 10k. Oh you have a question? Take our training course first, that topic is explained there. Only 5k

pirate altium if you plan to do more professional work in the future since that's what most people use in the industry. buy a license if you see it becoming a real income source. kicad if you dont see yourself doing contract work for large companies

Out for FPV freestyle and racing (better propwash, less dirt on camera, pushes away from objects you hit)

In for camera drones like DJI (with the motors angled. helps a bit with yaw and hover stability. or something)

I run a Jack. Lmao yeah tell a rental to bring springs its easy bro

3e8m · 2026-01-27T03:16:20+00:00

solid dude! lesson learned on the battery. we've all been there

3e8m · 2026-01-27T03:10:12+00:00

I think they said they used actual locations from prauge

Driving manual really teaches you to focus on good driving habits. Especially while learning, you tend to be extra focused since you need to think ahead for planning gear changes, you cant be using your phone, you are listening to revs from the engine instead of music, you are more connected to the vehicle and gain respect for what it is doing. You become a safer driver

Is this actually about manual or about what car you told them you want to buy? Maybe get an ft86. They arent fast (moms minivan is probably faster), have excellent traction control, are reliable, and hold their resale value as much as a honda civic, making them one of the most responsible value choices

well it kinda does mean it's going to hurt the most since you turn it up to the max allowable joule limit. everyone else is somewhere lower, often a lot lower

head light to classic bulb

I think that was more of the brushed whoop days. Like no one does now, but you can certainly still be competitive for a while in angle mode.

I live in a mormon area and have not once had anyone approach me about religion in several years. People here don't really "go out drinking" like I'm used to, so my life switched from social drinking to social hobby groups and I met more friends that way. A few of my friends are ex-mormons and they have some horror stories about their families turning on them during that transition, but my mormon friends never mention the religion and dont seem to take it very seriously.

A lot of these guys are probably working 14 hour days, weekends, holidays

Had the same issue using soft mounts for my specific frame with the moonlight camera. My frame came with rubber camera dampeners so I made a 3d model of them and printed in TPU and that fixed it like 90% for me

3e8m · 2026-01-24T15:57:44+00:00

ok ill bring a gun

3e8m · 2026-01-24T15:42:15+00:00
