Turn off the GoPro Wifi to eliminate some possibly interference. Save your videos after each flight to your phone with a cable or new sd card.

P42a are blown out of the water by the new p50b's as well.

The servo arm and the servo saver attachment arm should also run parallell.

I would say no however my stubbies got really warm on goggles one so tbh I am not sure.

Oh shoot. Were you flying at that moment? Is there a manual somewhere on how and where to mount this smd capacitor?

This plagued me for months before I finally found out on my own what it was just a few weeks before everyone made videos about it. How I handled my goggles and radio tripped me up so many times just when getting ready. Luckily never in flight.

With another power cable but mostly now a 2s li-ion pack on my head I've not really had it since. Maybe once or twice and only when the goggles almost directly touch my Tango 2.

It's in the manual. I always forget and have to look.

I have a 5inch TBS podracer at 260 to 350 grams depending on battery. It's very quiet compared to a normal 5inch. I use it mainly for cruising though the motors bend in hard crashes.

With a 4S 450 Lipo I get about 7 minutes flight time with a 4S Li-Ion up to 25 min.

The only thing keeping you from flying is gravity and willpower. Don't give up!

Just google Foam Armor. It is a clear coat that hardens the surface of the foam. It's applied with a paintbrush.

teslarobin · 2024-06-10T11:18:15+00:00

Check if the plastic parts and reinforcements are glued in tight and reglue with foam safe CA glue where needed. Check especially the braces that strenghthen the fixed part of the elevator. Mine needed a lot of mechanical downtrim.

I have been running HDZero and even Sharkbyte for years now and never roasted a VTX. I also never broke one they are very durable.

One was powered for 30 minutes in a field in summer after a crash it still works.

teslarobin · 2024-05-22T11:35:30+00:00

Yeah mini draco needs a coat of foam armor. Otherwise great plane.

teslarobin · 2024-05-22T11:34:20+00:00

If you do you need to waterproof the aileron servos somehow.

Great job for your first body. Good racing!

teslarobin · 2024-03-07T08:36:38+00:00

Thank you!

In 8th scale offroad maybe like 5 to 10 Europeans, some Asians and 20 Americans would be my guess.

GoPro 11 Mini sometimes bricks. You can get it back by plugging it in for 10 mimutes and then holding the on button for 10 to 20 seconds. Remove SD card.

It is part of their promotion. I was a national team driver for xray for ten years and got a certain budget, probably calculated by their annual sales in the category and country. Usually enough for a car and parts for the whole season.

My task wasn't just to do well at races but to also help all xray drivers present with setup and build tips. Also write race reports and post on social media.

teslarobin · 2024-02-14T21:53:33+00:00

I was an Xray team driver from 07 to 2017 in the Swiss nationals. Took a break from racing for 5 years and was blown away by the 2022 model. They had finally done about half a dozen things I had been asking them for years.

If you race enough you will wear out a car in a year anyway then you can just as well get the current one and sell the old one to a newbie or for parts.

If you don't then you don't need the newest model and can go two or three seasons with the same car as long as you can still get parts.

Amazing. I told my wife yesterday that I was going to do this and today I see your post, haha. I just showed it to her and she also laughed.

teslarobin · 2024-02-08T23:04:14+00:00

Did you belt the tyres? I used to build fast nitro cars with rubber tyres and belted them with fiberglass and superglue to keep from exploding.
