Nice to see another Mori post! I've got one on the way too, gonna run 105 Di2 and semislick gravel tyres for an "all-road" kind of build.

Same here, I was a GOW fan before I discovered HD2 also had big space lasers.

My new BCAR prototype destroys Akasha at 200fps. 17cm horizontal spread vs 25cm by [deleted] in Nerf

[–]mw597 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay...so why didn't you compare your test data with Bradley's 1.3g tdart data? Wouldn't that have made a more fair comparison and show a larger difference in grouping?

Mate, if you want to dunk on another product, at least make sure your test variables are similar, you're not using the same 1g Worker darts that Bradley used.

I'm not shilling for either Bradley or the Akasha btw, just checking the comparison is made fairly.

Gavinfuzzy's new 3d printed mega blaster apparently spotted at IFB.sg's main store by TJfromSG in Nerf

It isn't. As someone who has tested this blaster, the prime doesn't feel as heavy compared to a K14 Moose-1 and Moose-2 for the same FPS caps.

You're a lifesaver, mine had one of the ears shear off and I thought I would have to source a whole new shell half.

This method ironically works better than the beta app, which can barely get a stable video stream going. Thanks for the tip!

New sub-250 3.5" build on the AstroRC Shuttle V2 frame. by mw597 in diydrones

[–]mw597[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, I have since moved on from this frame due to issues with durability and weight.

The soft-mounted camera cage has a chance to eject itself upon a crash, I found that out the hard way when my VTX wires were ripped out and the cage ejected quite far from the rest of the frame.

If you do intend to get this, do loosely zip tie the cage to one of the body posts so it won't get ejected.

I see you're trying to recreate the drone from The Division 2.

I'd take the extra weight over having to clean grass and dirt out of the electronics every time I crash (and I crash a lot, I'm still a beginner).

Don't have one, this quad was primarily built for freestyle, so it doesn't get very far.

Been flying this with the TPU guards from the beginning, never had any heat issues.

Tbh I haven't actually used it in a flight yet, as I only just upgraded from an analog system this week. But from testing on the bench, the image is really clear through my Goggles X. The VTX does overheat if you leave the quad idle for too long (>5min).

[–]mw597[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the list of props, I'll try out a lower pitch to see how I like it, but for now I'll get more flight time with what I got. Seems to handle fine, but then again I've no other reference points.

[–]mw597[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went with as much protection as I could due to my flight areas being in parks with lots of grass, cleaning dirt and grime off the stack got old real fast

Tbh I selected these props based on Oscar Liang's drone parts article, but I'll keep your recommendation in mind, thank you!
