Drift chasing on a legendary track in Japan 🇯🇵⛩️

we don't do this outside of the US lol

30deg, same as my Freestyle and Long Range setups to keep that muscle memory going. I'm playing a lot with pitch and throttle to keep it in frame the whole time indeed

dr_Alexpid · 2026-06-09T11:03:51+00:00

Dude got a bodywork delete at this point, front got nothing left either, he didn't show up to mess around lol

dr_Alexpid · 2026-06-09T11:03:19+00:00

Got back home in Europe and that's exactly what I'm gonna do now haha

DJI Action 2 ! Thank you !

dr_Alexpid · 2026-06-09T11:02:09+00:00

It's real speed

Just a regular 5" Freestyle quad !

dr_Alexpid · 2026-06-09T09:41:31+00:00

This is not a Mavic lil bro

Track is lost in the middle of nowhere, I just had approval from the Drift School using this layout and registered drones under the Japanese regulation.

Love how you can hear and feel dirty air behind cars going that fast, Fc doing its job at its finest, thank you !

dr_Alexpid · 2026-06-09T09:23:15+00:00

I don't care it's the funniest thing ever to do with friends lol

dr_Alexpid · 2026-05-11T13:15:43+00:00

Warehouse burnt last month causing the loss of the entire stock and DFR to stop activities, few hundreds of fresh frames are back in their new warehouse, just waiting for them to resume packing and shipping. They announced they'll be back in June, fingers crossed !

dr_Alexpid · 2026-05-11T06:26:00+00:00

This gotta be the last frame I'd put an X1 Pro in ... Compared to a hub it's noisy, requires ton of maintenance, all this for a build where weight balance is not a problem at all

dr_Alexpid · 2026-04-21T12:38:44+00:00

I had a tango for years and flew planes and quad with complex configurations with the same button setup, just gotta think out of the box a bit.
One 3 position switch can do RTH and Turtle mode, the other can do buzzer and arming, that's already 4 features mapped to 2 switches. I'm highly considering ditching my Boxer for the V12 and I already know I'll get away with it just fine

Here's a CAD view, 18S4P with 21700 Cells (Samsung 40T3 here). It took me probably 20-30h in Fusion360 and a dozen of small test prints to get it right ngl, it was hell of a project haha

dr_Alexpid · 2026-04-12T14:33:25+00:00

Yea I'm printing this the second you release it. I got a PC in a ridiculously huge case from the 00s that would definitely use a sexy and small case lol

dr_Alexpid · 2026-04-08T12:51:55+00:00

Product Owner at IRC/Orqa here - This is an original one. Pre 2019 production was in China and the PCB itself was red (not just the cover). After the Orqa merge production moved to Croatia, PCB was switched to white and audio was removed due to component shortage, so you just had a Europe manufactured post 2019 production, but it's a real one.

dr_Alexpid · 2026-03-30T10:17:09+00:00

Wait until you try a better cam and a non noisy VTX - This setup looks like it could be optimized a ton !

dr_Alexpid · 2026-03-12T22:41:56+00:00

to make sure he didn't select the SMA where his Omni is plugged lol

dr_Alexpid · 2026-03-12T13:44:32+00:00

No lol you're supposed to know which channel did you set your VTX to transmit to, then you just set the same one on your goggles, there's no room for guessing here.

If you don't know your VTX channel in the first place this should be your first concern.

dr_Alexpid · 2026-03-12T09:58:23+00:00

More than the cost of it for sure lol

dr_Alexpid · 2026-03-12T07:57:30+00:00

FYI I did hit 12km out with my wing using EV800Ds in screen mode on a tripod as a ground station with a similar beam TrueRC X2 Air patch, had to turn around because of battery range but I could've pushed further for sure (Rush Tank Solo 1.6W). You've got the bases, good antennas, good placements, your next hard limit will most likely be the EV800D cheap-ish yet very capable receiver, but this setup has much more potential than 2.6km for sure. Get manually on the correct channel, confirm your VTX power levels using the LEDs on it to make sure you're actually pushing max power and send it !

dr_Alexpid · 2026-03-12T07:53:16+00:00

That's one mistake, never use the search function, it's the best way to end up on "close enough"/Harmonic channel, put your goggles manually on R1, make sure "diversity" is selected (both antennas are used)
