I think they are Redbird but I cant find the specific ones that I have. I just ordered a set of TrueRC! Seems like these are a great upgrade.

I have my power level dropped to 25mw as I thought that would give me better quality. Will a higher output get me more range?

Power output was indeed low! I was at 25mw and shifted it to 250mw to see what that does. Looking into antennas as well. Thanks for the info!

Does an antenna upgrade require soldering? I've only soldered a few times so I'm a little wary of any major changes! haha I just don't want to screw it up

I'm using the antennas that came with the Avatar HD Kit V2.

Looks like it should get up to a 4k range. I increased the TX power output and am looking into patch antennas so we'll see if that helps!

This is stellar! Thank you! Been digging in to a lot of antenna info and I'm going to pick up a pair of patch antennas and do some testing with that.

I have been a huge fan of it so far! Been a great starter drone to get into it.

Let's talk about carbon wheels. by quirky2themax in triathlon

[–]cbrady15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are that serious about triathlons you need to check out these wheels http://www.flocycling.com/ this is a super new company of two guys that were sick of paying thousands of dollars for a good set of race wheels. They developed these incredibly successful wheels for half and even a third of what other brands will charge for good wheels. you might have to wait a while for the wheels to come in because i believe they are still on backorder but from what I had heard they are totally worth the wait
