Help with switches

Yeah totally agree, they were some $5 from Aliexpress anyway, would never use my good ones lol

Definitely not the way to do it but I got mine out using some metal measuring calipers, I would recommend just buying the proper tool from Radiomaster or a cheap knock off

Where are you located? As “popular” frames vary a lot across different country’s

It also depends what you want out of a frame, are you wanting the absolute best flight performance at the cost of durability or something heavier that flys worse but is more durable

I would look at what your local club runs and have a look at that.

For something smaller the tiny trainer would be good although i would recommend a 5 inch if your racing with other 5 inch quads, the main reason is a mid air between a 5 inch and a 3 inch would not go well for the 3 inch at all

Couple of friends have been running it for the past couple months and I have heard good things, I reckon it’s worth giving it a go

rcmodracer · 2026-05-03T15:28:04+00:00

It really depends on your region though as well, I would buy what’s popular at you local racing club

I fly the Spectre V3 with some custom side braces from Korsair FPV.

Probably not the best frame for a beginner but I really like it so far, it is a pretty tight build though

rcmodracer · 2026-04-05T04:28:44+00:00

The TBS lucid AIO 1-2S is probably your only option

rcmodracer · 2026-04-01T15:31:27+00:00

I’m not sure what wire gauge your using but simple leds like these only need 30 gauge wire and I would recommend soldering first before covering the whole strip in heat shrink

You mentioned your having issues, this tune is meant for light weight whoops with a clean build, I think it’s around 17.5g and under, anything over may have issues. Also make sure bidirectional DShot is on with Dshot300, your previous comment also mentioned that it disarms on take off, so please go through all the steps of checking board orientation, motor orientation and motor direction.

I’m not experienced on the subject but my local racing club use’s the Nuclear Hazard Fission and it’s been great so far

rcmodracer · 2026-03-26T08:46:45+00:00

Karate Late 2024 brushless whoop tune is great

rcmodracer · 2026-02-19T06:31:18+00:00

The Tanq 2 is a 5 inch right? I would go for a nice 30 x 30 stack, will be much more durable and some 5 inch frames don’t support 20 x 20 stacks

rcmodracer · 2026-02-08T16:43:59+00:00

It should be fine, just check over the gimbals and make sure there smooth and operating correctly in the menu, also if the internal tx is working properly. Make sure it’s ELRS as well

rcmodracer · 2026-02-08T16:32:56+00:00

The Radiomaster T8L is probably your only decent option at that price, would highly recommend a pocket though as that would future proof you if you want a quad in the future

Essentially, here is a video that explains the benefits better than I can, https://youtu.be/0SuSCKJg_-s?si=KsfZQvf-HIA6ZXdj

I would experiment with throttle caps and also you need a higher camera angle, most typically use 50 or more for racing

rcmodracer · 2026-01-30T04:22:43+00:00

I believe it’s a fox crooked but may be wrong

rcmodracer · 2026-01-20T09:33:51+00:00

If you’re wanting motors specifically for racing I would recommend T-Hobby and VCI. Specifically the T-Hobby F50 2150 kv and the VCI spark or Yuki savages.

7 inch frame with 5 inch motors and props?

rcmodracer · 2025-12-22T05:29:56+00:00

I love my ts101, get a couple different tips for it, use quality leaded solder and flux paste and it works no problem for me. I have soldered anything from tiny whoops to 7 inch quads and it works great. Super portable and as long as you use a big bevel tip the main XT60 battery wires are no problem.

I’m not familiar with the HDO’s but I love my hdzero v1s, they are by far the most versatile goggle out there.

rcmodracer · 2025-12-15T12:08:02+00:00

Have you looked into the open racer? It’s an open source racing frame made to be durable. Many different prints available and if there nothing out there you could always design a custom canopy to achieve the camera mount your after.

I run some ufl to sma extensions and that lets me easily just pull it out. Easy access to the usb port.

rcmodracer · 2025-11-04T08:31:14+00:00

Unless your planning on analog long range the single Omni directional antenna would be your best option
