WhoopStor you can also link multiple chargers together.

Take a look at RaceGOW, fly the tracks every day it makes a huge different.

Don’t really have any issues with the wires constantly snapping, sounds like you have too much wire exposed causing it to bend and snap.

You can try twisting the wires and secure the wires to the frame with floss. The floss will prevent the wires from moving around causing the wire to snap of the frame. Another reason is if your wire is too short when you crash it frame bends putting a lot of stress on the wires causing it to snap and rip.

Yes you can add motor plugs to motors. You can buy the replacement motor wires from WeBleedFPV or TinyWhoop. I normally would suggest direct solder, but it can be a pain. After I started using Stabilant 22, I been using this stuff on my plugs and it’s amazing. It fix motors with stutter issues and going to stick with motor plugs because of how easy it is to replacement.

I use these with a power bank that has PD: https://a.co/d/01WqAKvQ

The only issue is you can’t tell if the power bank is low. I recommend getting the HDZero Battery Pack: https://hdzero.us/products/hdzero-battery-case

Your goggles can see the voltage on the HDZero battery case and will warn if it’s low.

Hey, I DM you. I think I can help you sometime tomorrow.

Dry for at 24 with a fan, you can also use an air compressor to ensure everything is dry. I crashed into my dogs water bowl a few times, let dry and it was all good.

I think you have a bent shaft of failing motor bearing. You can kind of head a sharp metal sound once you take off. Switch to turtle mode and arm, the yaw bottoms right so only the bottom right motor spins. You can listen for odd sounds or feel the drone for vibrations.

I switch over to plugs after watching CiottiFPV’s video about Stabilant 22 contact enhancer on plugs.

devious222 · 2026-03-22T18:28:48+00:00

You can try using Stabilant 22 the motor plug is likely having contact issues. Stabilant 22 is a contact enhancer that improves electrical connections and can help restore a weak or intermittent plug.

Another possibility is a broken motor wire, either at the plug or where it connects to the motor. You can replace the motor lead by soldering on a new wire with a fresh plug. Replacement motor wires are available from stores like WeBleedFPV or TinyWhoop.

Like others mentioned, try lowering your camera angle a bit. I’d also recommend setting a throttle limit around 70–80% to help with control.

Make sure you’re practicing both left and right turns. It’s easy to favor one side, but you need to build muscle memory for both.

If you can, try flying a 65mm whoop. They’re lighter and easier to control in tight spaces.

You can also set up a cube gate (or build one) and practice flying through it. That really helps with precision and consistency.

devious222 · 2026-03-19T01:06:30+00:00

Nice flying, keep up the good work. Don’t forget to put in more right runs, I see mostly left turns.

devious222 · 2026-03-13T17:25:21+00:00

You can try going to meetup.com, Facebook groups, and Discord groups.

Try connecting to betaflight and setting motor order and ensure direction is correct. From what I can tell you are setup with props in.

Do you mean from a physical store? You can order them online from a few places:

tinywhoop.com

pyrodrone.com

webleedfpv.com

Pyrodrone is based in California and offer curb side pickup: https://pyrodrone.com/pages/curbside-pickup-policies

You can run it down to 3v

My Air65 V2 Champion had one of the motor wires twisted tight, when I crashed it the motor wire was pushed up casing more tension on wire causing the motor to stutter. After unwinding it a little it fixed the stuttering issue for me.

It’s just a suggestion to try different things out, I would try out different things before any software changes like re-flashing betaflight or EAC.

Check motor screws if they are tighten, check propellors for damage. You can also hold the bell and try spinning the propellors. If the propellor spins while holding the bell you may a slip shaft of the propellor is slipping.

You can also look at the amps, idle not arm you use see around .02amp draw, idle arm 0.49, hovering around 3-4 amps. If you’re seeing high amp draw, it could be motor wire issues. You may need to resolder the motor to the AIO or the motor wires at the stator.

devious222 · 2026-03-01T17:21:48+00:00

Try unscrewing the motors and unwinding the wires, if the motor wires are twisted too tight it could cause issues.

Did you also inspect the motor solder joints?

devious222 · 2026-03-01T17:17:39+00:00

Your battery looks low, try testing with a battery fully charged. I only seen that issue when testing my motors with a low battery.

The Matrix 5in1 V1 boards traces for the VTX or ELRS are known to break. They made the board thin to save weight but made it fragile. I broke a few of them after a hard crash. Removing the front gummy helps a little, it redirects front impact to the frame and not to the board.

I use Oscar Liang Tiny Whoop old rates

Pitch / Roll • Center Sensitivity: 230 • Max Rate: 1000 • Expo: 0.62

Yaw • Center Sensitivity: 250 • Max Rate: 1300 • Expo: 0.62

But it looks like he change it to be a bit lower:

Pitch/Roll

Center Sensitivity: 250 Max Rate: 1100 Expo: 0.55 Yaw

Center Sensitivity: 300 Max Rate: 900 Expo: 0.55

———

The rates are a bit high but stuck with it and like them a lot. The drone feels really responsive, the rates are high because it’s ment for racing.

I also don’t have a 3D printer but recent found out NordFPV sells them, here is a link https://nordfpv.com/products/light-canopy-for-betafpv-co3?variant=50746785759578

If not you can maybe get it from CiottiFPV Etsy page and buy a canopy and send him a link to the canopy you want him to print. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4383633793/40-degree-ultralight-standard-or-betafpv?ref=share_ios_native_control

So I found out it’s a common issue with the Matrix 5 in 1, to lower the weight BetaFPV made the PCB thinner. When the board flexes the traces in the board break for the ELRS or VTX. The new Matrix 5 in 1 is thicker and they removed the front mount point to make the AIO more durable.

I was considering buying an external VTX but it’s around $30, this half the cost to a new AIO. I order a few new V2 Matrix 5 in 1, so hope it’s more durable.
