This is a great video I am going to do this I have a 5200mA 2S Lipo with a cable to plug into the bottom from RM but your way is much greater, thank you!

I love this, working on something similar, but I want hot swappable batteries, and no holes drilled. Using the back screw mounts, and antenna hole.

Superman!!!!!

Der Battman ist on fire 🔥🔥

fire!

Nice

Hey! Also ich habe Sie mir vor ca. 1,5 Wochen bestellt. Kann ich mir nicht zwei ZUSÄTZLICHE 18350-Akkus (wegen der geringen Größe) in ein gedrucktes Case setzen, ein 2poliges USB Kabel dran löten, dann daraus die internen Akkus speisen, bis die externen leer sind, sodass dann die internen Akkus weiter genutzt werden können? 🤔 Oder ist dann die 7,4V(8,4V)-Spannung zu hoch für den USB-Port?

Thumbs up for the cat

…WARNING!!!…I tried this USB Charging mode on my 3 Zorros… NO GOOD!!!…After a month i discovered it developed an RTC (Real Time Clock running on the internal button battery) malfunction…NOT the old RTC problem which was a firmware programmed wrong voltage value problem…but very similar…all my moded radios erratically resetted the internal clock to 1970 or 2000…new buttons cells (3.15 to 3.25 V value showing in system page) and removed the mode cord…PROBLEM SOLVED…unfortunately this mode doesnt work for my zorros…the main problem with RTC failing is that it messes up backup savings made onboard the radio of the models…that are dependent on the calender date for file naming…

I just put a 2s battery pack in the case, much easier. Used tpu98 and it worked great! Thanks!

I wonder why nobody asked this : why your zorro's power button is blue ?! Mine and other zorros I have seen is always green unless you plug a charger it turns red or only when it is starting up at the powering time it is blue then again it turns to green always

Hello could you please make one that doesn't require you to disassemble the radio and instead just slides into the holder plates on the top? Thanks!

So your able to have the 18350 batteries while having the outside powersource

I would not make any wire mod to my transmitter or reciever and I am a qualified electronics technician.....purely from an insurance standpoint...if my heli crashes into someone and the heli is investigated then I doubt I will be insured if i have changed it from standard stock. This is the problem with youtube .

I can't see a reason to do this unless you bought the Zoro and decided what you really wanted was a TX12.

Hi Juerg, great stuff! Understand you are an end user! Often guys like us are more in touch with whats desireable/superior than bigger manufacturers! ; ) (I'm an Engineer and spent 14 years in China!) We are looking to buy OEM then OFFER Torro (ELRS), preferably with the the full blown (2W capable!) Ranger module and AG01 mini gimbals as OEM client! Understand that the (presently available) '2W' Ranger does not fit the nano bay! We will re-engineer/reshell at least the back casing to take the Ranger module AND dual 18650's. Am I right to say that we SHOULD source Toro with the cheapest CC2500 module, discard and integrate Ranger 2W, AG01 minis and dual 18650's! (Seems such a shame that Radiomaster don't offer a 'barebones Toro' for guys like us that always want BETTER! ; ) ) or at least an AG01 mini option WITHOUT the standard gimbals and/or unrequired modules! (to discard!)

Hello could you post the original design files? I want to make some modifications to it. Thank you!

Do you think it is correct to connect parallel batteries with different capacity? What happens when small batterry are fully charged when big batteries is not because of difference of capacity? I think, small batteries wil be overcharged, and it is not good.

Mama ich bin auf RUclips haha. Hammer Aufnahmen und toll geflogen, war ein toller Tag.

Super Video

Super Dronen Team 🤗 war nett mit euch. Schönen Tag

Nice View!

sehr schöne Aufnahmen und gut geflogen 👍🏼

Great Video!!! Thanks. Your mods are excellent. I have a question. The batteries you use. The 1400mah Vapcell do you feel have any advantage (time) over the stock 900mah Radiomaster battery? That is if you have the stock batteries to compare them to. I opted to purchase the radio without batteries.

those stick ends are really nice! any chance your friend posted the file somewhere?

I made an external power cable for a 2s 5200 mah lipo by using the 2 outside white balance plug wires on an old 2s balance plug and xt60 connected with a meter of nice power cord of good gauge . I charge the 2s 5200mah lipo on a regular charger . I put no 18350 batteries in it . The 18350 batteries i bought were no good dead cells . ☹ The 18350 batteries would probably go 2 hours on 25mW tx or 12 minutes on 250mW or 6 minutes on 500mW . Not enough time . Now 😃

Very well done indeed. I will print the stl file in black for my case, but this is brilliant ! Thanks for this posting. ;-)

Have you seen the hole in the top right next to the usb/ trainer port for an antenna? Wonder how hard it would be to add a greater dbi larger antenna to this....?

I am sure your name is not Quax FPWee, Jürgen ;) I would not do a parallel setup. There are so called equalizing currents (Ausgleichströme) that can potentially cause some trouble. Especially if batteries have different capacities and voltages on first connection

How much range do you get with the internal ELRS?

How lomg is battery life

Good job, excited to hear about the strong springs. I bought the T pro but immediately returned because the gimbals were to way too soft for me and wouldnt tighten.

This is a nice mod! I might try to design something similar that connects to the mounting straps on the bottom and uses the balance connector on the bottom. I don't like drilling holes etc...

Besten Dank für die Infos! Bin auf der Suche nach passenden 18350. Die Vapcell F14 INR18350 sind mit flachem Pluspol und ohne Schutzelektronik? Könnten auch längere Akkus mit Schutzelektronik verwendet werden (38,7 mm statt 35 mm)? Die Radiomaster-Akkus sind wohl mit erhöhtem Pluspol.

The standard issue batteries have 4hrs of continual usage life.. when fully charged. How long does anybody need ffs. They can be fully charged in 45 minutes. So even if your out all day continually flying... Stop for lunch and recharge the batteries.

There are also screws on the back of the radio for adjusting the gimbals but they don't seem to do what the images from RM suggest. Have you figured out what they do exactly and how that interacts with the tension screws on the inside?

Nice video! Do you have any rattling noise when moving the radio? like someting is loose inside

putting 2 batteries in parallel without balancing them is waiting for disaster .. if the small ones are empty and you add fully charged 650's over top of them ... you are gonna have a nice current draw and most likely will kill the 350 ... or set it on fire. Why do you not connect it to the external battery connector they supplied ? As an ee I am scared people are gonna try this...

Klasse Video danke schön🙏 endlich sind die sticks smoother. 💯👍

Good video, thank you for the small tips. I just wanted to know if the radio would work only with external batteries. Without the internal batteries

How much on time do you get with the 1400mah batteries only?

Juergen: Very thorough, calm, clear description of your process and why. Good video and volume too. Should be a great modification that is compact and compatible with original design. Kudos! - Jim

Another thing that triggers me is that the radio has 2 usbc ports. Couldn't they combine both into one, for changing and for data transfer. Other than that the radio seem good

Zorro 2 with 18650's would be awesome.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 nice 👍🏻 subbed bro

Why are you going through all that trouble when all you need to do is buy 2 extra batteries and have them charged that's 8 hours of continuous run time Sometimes people overcomplicate things

I'm kinda liking that battery case mod. I'll have to print one up and see how it feels in the hand, but it does look very functional. Thank you! Don't have a Zorro just yet, but should next week.

nice idea 👍 quick video to solve the battery "problem" you are from germany right? how do you get your radio so fast? 😁

when we designed the Zorro ,we also had the same idea about making a power bank like this ,but we decided to make other solution
