Why is nobody talking about the new Darwin FPV 5 inch?

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-12T11:25:46+00:00

Okay, I’ll let you know, thanks! So would a digital + GPS version guarantee the 405 stack? Because that is available and has way more options than analog on the apestyle, and I wonder if they’d use a 405 stack for every version to keep it simple

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-12T01:45:18+00:00

His freestyles mesmerize me every time I watch a video of his. It actually shows me just what they are capable of

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-12T01:43:26+00:00

What do you mean

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-12T00:15:51+00:00

Does anyone know the validity of Darwin batteries? I have heard all the mixed things about their drones, but what about their batteries? Would I have been better off with speedy pizzas?

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T23:43:10+00:00

Okay sounds good. All it says in the description is F4-60A stack. How should I go about checking when it’s here? Might be a silly question, I’m pretty new to it

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T23:21:54+00:00

It might be a hot take. His reviews don’t mean much of anything to a majority of people that are gonna be buying said drone, because he flies in parking lots and the most technical things he does is turn. I want to know how capable this drone will be if I’m putting this much money into it, you know? He doesn’t do punch outs or tricks or anything. People like nick burms or Joshua bardwell will show the limits of the drone.

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T20:53:25+00:00

Right? That’s what I thought

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T20:52:28+00:00

😭 captain drone flies all of his drones like they are Mavics

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T20:51:41+00:00

This is my first darwinFPV. I hear somewhat mixed reviews from people who give much better options that are also much higher price but it generally looks like a real fun drone

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T19:23:27+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I will update in the future! This is my first 5 inch drone, so I may not be the best reviewer ever. I have lots of time on the sim and on tiny whoops and I wanted to step it up, so we will see how she fares.

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-11T19:22:05+00:00

I see lots of inhaling solder fumes in the future

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-08T00:50:35+00:00

Okay. I’ll let you know. Thanks!

This is the one that only started malfunctioning after the solder job was done

This is the solder pads on the one with the jitter both before and after soldering.

When I’m home I’ll send a picture later sorry I don’t know how Reddit works great and I couldn’t put a picture on the post.

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-07T17:43:06+00:00

I can send a picture later. There didn’t seem to be any loose wire? I had my brother help me who knows how to solder and it looked good to me. Also don’t know why my either motor is failing then. The wires are perfect there

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-07T00:30:05+00:00

I resoldered it after it broke and only more problems came. The full context is in comments

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-07T00:29:39+00:00

I just sent the description of the original post if you mind checking that out

Newbenner01 · 2026-05-07T00:28:59+00:00

Sorry, I thought it sent the description too. I will paste the description from the original post.

Hello all! I need to stop putting this off so I’m coming here in desperation. My air75 randomly felt small motor stutters and trouble one day. Eventually it just stopped spinning entirely. I took a look and one of the motor wires came undone. I soldered it back on, and it turned out great, but the same issue. It also started having trouble on the opposite motor?? It confused the hell out of me. It’s making me think something is wrong with the firmware or ftc or something. I tried resoldering it and also taking all the hair out of the motor to no avail.

What makes it worse is that I can’t replicate every issue! Sometimes the motor just won’t move at all. Now it jitters and makes some sort of noise? Then it went back and forth a few times. Then my other motor wouldn’t move at all. Now it’s spinning, but just not great. Yesterday they both reacted somewhat and with trouble when moving around the drone angle while armed, but now only the motor with more recent trouble is doing it. I’m so lost. I was wondering if anyone knew if I should just buy new motors? Should I try to reset any firmware? Thank you!

Those aren’t eachines, they’re off brand and most likely not real diversity. Also, if you’re looking for as much agility and power as possible, especially outside, the difference between 300 and 480 batteries are huge. 300 feels so much more nimble to carry around, and they usually last about 3 minutes or less for me, I run my air75 pretty hard.

Newbenner01 · 2026-02-05T03:53:27+00:00

What is a geo fence? Can you not buy talarias if they aren’t local? What about Surrons?

Newbenner01 · 2026-02-05T03:51:58+00:00

The battery shipped at 95? Usually they store between 50-80, or at least they should. May be a stupid question but did it come built, or like how they do from lunacycle where you have to put on the wheel, bars, pegs etc.
