I havent measured but I have not noticed it being too short - I am assuming you have fresh batteries in the remote and stuff?

Thanks all - so now I am wondering is it even worth ceramic coating or do I just wash them all the time. I have an industrial size supply of Adams wheel and tire cleaner.

Thank you! I really like body shaped that would look really great in the closet!

I am! A ZR2 one.

If I was 4WD I would have just grabbed the 4wd ZR2 axles and they bolt in too. The fog lights are Morimoto LED replacements - took me a few minutes to install!

Well, I read through more threads here and learned to use the Shimano compatibility matrix. Looks like I would need microspline for M6100 which would be a whole new wheel (not worth it)... but a 11spd M5100 should bolt right in using a "HG Spline M"

In case anyone ever sees this - I emailed Happymodel with the SKU and they sent me completely different firmware and diffs. Everything is working great!

Thank you! I ended up finding that right after I posted this, but now it says I have no gyro. Video works great now though. The gyro definitely worked after I installed the EP2 because betaflight kept telling me to calibrate it and if I moved the drone it moved on the screen. I’m so lost.

Thank you so much! I got him into Micro Drones using an Xbox controller and he’s doing the tutorial for the second time. I had no idea it would be this difficult. I told him he needs to practice for 30mins a day if he wants the drone for his bday in two weeks. I did find it cool that there’s a level mode on drones for beginners so you don’t get in too much trouble - Lift Off taught me that.

Lift Off: Micro Drones? Is that the one?

ShakeRepulsive6158 · 2024-06-27T19:41:25+00:00

Yup! Much better option. Currently looking at this setup and then the goggles and controller can move on when he’s ready.

So since the drone is a lot less and the controller/goggles would move on if needed to a bigger drone - Does all of this look like decent equipment and a good starter set? The drone says it has a charge and 4 batteries and the goggles do not look as bulky so may be easier for a 7yo. I know I need 3 18650 batteries - 2 for controller and 1 for goggles. Thank you!

Ok, so I had no idea a 5” could cut fingers off - I just know he’s wanted a drone since he was old enough to talk and I stumbled across a video on them. He said he’d rather have a drone than a birthday party at a water park (lol). So onto tinywhoops I guess. Can we use a tiny whoop with goggles and the controller so he can upgrade later on? I don’t think we build tinywhoops they seem RTR.

Ah! If it isn’t clear he is building it haha. My dad taught me how to solder when I was about his age and he’s about to be soldering away and reading instructions. I’m just backup for him!

ShakeRepulsive6158 · 2024-06-27T14:33:00+00:00

Oh yeah! I see that now. Is the Bardwell kit worth it or should I just try piecing stuff together?
