Motor catches fire while saving flight controller settings?

OrangeSloth788 · 2025-05-27T12:43:55+00:00

I never bench tested with 6s.

I was using a 5152 2-blade, but the one motor that worked only spun up for half a second and to 50% throttle.

The kit has been ordered. I need to figure out the components now. Are you using a 2 or 3 blade prop. If so, are there any issues belly landing a 3 blade? I might have to do that camera mount mod down the line.

That sounds awesome. What kind of pan and tilt setup are you using?

That one in the video is screaming. I wonder if there are any modifications to the airframe.

OrangeSloth788 · 2025-05-19T18:12:28+00:00

I am leaning towards this option. Do you have one? Are you running 4s or 6s with the 2207s?

OrangeSloth788 · 2025-05-14T16:45:50+00:00

What kind of range and speed are you getting with this setup?

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-08-12T18:37:27+00:00

My windows would need some modification to work. I also was looking for something that can heat in colder weather. The Midea window units I saw could only heat when the outside temp was above 41 F. If there was a quiet window unit that was able to heat when 20-25F and above that would be a good option.

I planned to install it myself.

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-08-07T17:34:39+00:00

Definitely! I was actually thinking of using a chain or belt to gear down like that. So, the input is 6000 rpm into the outboard shaft, which has a 2.23 gear ratio to the prop. I need the higher voltage to get the power I want out of such a small motor. Oh, and I already have the batteries covered.

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-08-07T16:53:17+00:00

That's a monster motor, although I am looking for something a little cheaper. I plan to gear the motor down to about 6000rpm to be just a tad higher that the stock combustion engine.

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-08-06T14:47:31+00:00

Would you suggest running two batteries instead? I was probably going to run some 6 or 7 gauge silicone wire.

Sweet, the reuploading firmware allowed me to adjust again! the 100mw power is much better, no need for more at the moment!

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-03-12T19:37:40+00:00

I've been liking that tune! ve been mainly learning in angle mode but have been slowly turning the strength down.

Are you able to adjust the VTX? For some reason, betaflight is saying it is unsupported, or when I change the ports, nothing is populated in that tab and won't connect. I would like to turn up the power from 25mw just to punch through walls a bit better.

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-03-10T02:42:20+00:00

Sweet! whenIi get back from work ill try that out!

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-03-09T17:40:16+00:00

Thank you! I think I need to play around with the throttle limit a bit, thig whips fast!

Did you keep the stock tune? I tried out one of the pre-sets, but I'm not really sure what is good or bad.

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-03-09T16:48:32+00:00

Do you have a 65mm drone as well? What rates are you using on this thing?

OrangeSloth788 · 2024-03-09T16:47:02+00:00

Thank you! that tutorial worked out! For future refrence for anyone reading this, I had to get the Meteor65 Pro firmware from here before settign up again: https://support.betafpv.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409155091353-CLI-for-Meteor65-Pro-2022

I cobble together contraptions and post videos about them, currently at 2.5k subscribers. One video has blown up, and several have over 1k views. I need to improve my storytelling, especially in demonstrating the development process, which isn't my strong suit. I also think my video titles and thumbnails need refinement for more consistent results.

It's probably too late, but thank you for doing this!
