you all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
This Tech is getting better and better, cant wait until we are all getting around using that tech... I have a DJI spark and love flying it up to approaching storms, 50+ mph gust, get some good pics for sure. Never crashed it... So im pretty impressed at where this is going.
@@infiniteadventure1032 That's still misuse of the word 'nothing', 'comparatively inexpensive' would be accurate, 'extremely inexpensive' would be subjective but acceptable. Nothing means nothing, it doesn't mean a small amount.
I have been flying helis for 12 years. Love em. Just added a trex 700 to the fleet but after watching this I wish I could see it in person. Never seen a race quad in person but I'm a sucker for bad assery(word?) Which this thing is bad ass. I have to build one now. Those props sound so mean. Great flying. I might use your build as a guideline. Thanks for sharing
How do you like your ix12? I just upgraded to the ix12 as well. I really like it and it's got so much stuff that I got to get use to .I've been using the original dx7 since it came out so I've been outdated on that
xrguy650 I know a couple guys that fly helis and that’s how they started flying quads. It’s mesmerizing to to see how you guys can do all that crazy shit LOS! There are a few guys that do LOS with race quads and it’s a treat to watch as well
Well I've been pricing out parts and wow is this hobby cheap compared to helis. I can buy 4 motors I need for around 100. Funny I just told the wife no more this year after the 700. Now just wait till she sees me putting something new together. Lol. I figure the big money is in fpv. My budget is fairly open. What's a good decent fpv unit with range and little interference in your opinion.
xrguy650 well the best rigs are custom built. I suggest you join the Catalyst Machineworks Facebook group and make a post about what you want, and thru there, I and the owner of the company can suggest the best build and build it to order
After I come back from leaving town I'll get in touch. Would love some advice. I checked the website and will definitely support the store. I can't have you build it for me. That's the best part!
NICE!!! Just getting started...@150+ mph!!! I truly enjoy my 6s Merica setup. 2500Kv on 6s??? Faster than Goose poop in the Summer!! Sounds INSANELY FAST!! I'm already looking for some new motors to try out. I've got some Azure composite bi blades that are begging for this type of set up. Thanks for the inspiration! Keep it coming.
Excellent flying but please don't fly near power lines. If anything goes wrong, some lawmaker could end drone flying for all of us. Thank you and please keep making videos!
You're a really cool dude and keep up the good work because young people being involved with good positive things is what will make this world a better place for your great-grandkids
Your method to get the speed is awesome. I usually strap my old Galaxy s5 to the bottom of my quad with a GPS speed app running lol. The weight obviously makes a difference but I'm never going for perfect accuracy anyway. Cool vid!
Bro you are a true Beast can I watch you fly man you really inspire me to get out there and fly every day every time I watch one of your videos I take my eachine Wizard x220 and fly around I hope to be as good as you one day but honestly my quad is holding me back I just don't have the money to get another one right now but I will eventually one day God bless you man honestly I don't know how rotor ride isn't knocking at your door wanting to film you fly because you're a true Beast bro true Beast
I’m really new this coming from flying helis.... when you are making speed passes, I don’t see you pitch forward with your right stick. Do you mix that in with your throttle?
My Merica flies pretty fast on 5151 HQ Prop 3 blade. 150ish? on 2207 1700kv Those are now my go to prop when I need a 51xx prop. They're decently durable and hard to flatten out in hard turns. Nice flying. Nice spot too. The Merica is a beast. It's pure power/weight. My only complaint is I'm more likely to break the base plate than the arm because it's so thin but .. gotta save those grams of weight.
That was awesome! I'd be worried about EMF from the power lines but I guess it's not an issue. APC props rule. Just had a 6x3.5 HQ carbon/nylon biblade snap on me midair during a LOS full throttle speed run. Predictable results ensued.
here's an idea; put the quad on a tripod at the angle you flew for the time trial. get a leaf blower measure max wind with anemometer hopefully 160 mph, then take some simulated smoke and place it with blower in front of the quad. watch the smoke. smooth areas = good, rough areas = bad=drag. now you will know where to improve aerodynamics
Donald Belobraydic yea if you take both of the passes in each direction you’d get a more accurate speed avg. Surely colder temps help with denser air, just not sure how much
Dam bro!!! That’s crazy.. I just got into quads just got a DJI spark and I know these are 2 completely different applications but I enjoy mine. I thought my 31 mph in sport was kinda fast but shit!!! Very nice man. Don’t pay any of these trolls any mind talkin shit you got a bad ass set up brother
Bad ass man! Definitely some good flying i would have hit the ground, those power poles or ballooned to the moon for sure trying to fly at that speed haha. Or with my luck my quad would probably just atomize into a million pieces in mid air 😂. Keep it up brother definitely fun to watch!! 😮🤘👍
You can throttle curve high KV motors to work on 6s. I'm not sure that's what he's doing here or not. If you want them to perform at 1/2 the KV then you chop the top 1/2 the throttle off. I'm still skeptical that it's a "good" way of doing things though.
Currently flying a Mavic Pro for some nice video but these look like a lot of fun. How much does this rig cost and what's the lowest you could build a decent fun rig for, including controller and the monitor thing?
THATS FREAKING INSANE GABBY ! ! For sure impressive, when you said “race flight “ my nose started to crinkle... but wow.. you sure changed my mind on that. Cool edit my friend . ✌️ C-ya
Jason Hull haha, I hear ya I was the same before but to be honest it just works great with everything I throw at it. Not to mention how much easier it is to set up a quad it’s almost dummy proof.
GC Cannonball yes , I know what mean, I’ve seen the setup /user interface. My first Kiss build was a real frustrating challenge being a total nub. But I think pretty much all of them are really good straight out of the box nowadays. I live here in Indy too and have been wanting to reach out to ya since your Rotor Riot video where you guys went to the pyramids and the track .. I think it would a blast to meet up and rip some packs somewhere with ya. If the dang weather ever warms up...
Amazing!! Just started flying my Campfire 6s setup with 1750kv tmotors and its a beast. But not as fast as your Merica LOL. Never flown my Campfire on dual blades since I love triblades for cornering. I should try those ABC props
Guys I’m looking to start up FPV. Local hobby shot here in Australia deals in Spektrum transmitters, and I also have never seen them used in the popular channels. Are they ok?
Big Most spektrum transmitters are more than ok. It’s a leading brand in RC radios and equipment. It’s not so popular on RUclips channels mainly cause they are a bit more pricey and used more by racers rather than freestyle pilots
Those look like dys thor motors, they are actually 2408. I had a set and they had terrible bearing noise but stupid powerful!!! Love ur videos man keep up the good content!!
Interesting. I just realized on your stick movements that you didn't have to pitch down when you punched the collective. Does the flight control software (not sure what this hobby calls it) adjust things like that for you?
EbonySeraphim it’s not a software adjustment, (though probably it can be done, not sure) it’s just the “flight mode” when you are full manual flight mode, you don’t need to make many inputs if any at all once to are in forward flight. There is some input however the rates are quite sensitive so it may not be too apparent
I read a story that said, "I'm from the FAA and I'm here to help." Can I axe you a few Q's? Do you have a spotter that keeps the area clear of bicycles of joggers? Who flies the drone if video link goes dark when drone is doing 130 MPH. Would be cool if you could program an abort button on controller that would signal drone to slow down, circle, and land at a slow speed. Fly safe.
TOTALLY AWSOME !! I am a rookie, learning fast. Very cool to see what these can do. If you having already shared, I would like to know the make and model of that little ripper. I'll check your vid. Below. Thanks!
Welcome to 150+ mph club bud. It's not easy. lol. Battled through A LOT of desyncs to get there myself. Please invest in a dynamite gps speed tracker. Many of us are skeptical of the variables in doing the distance/time calculations. The device adds a little weight and will be a pain to mount to your frame but it is the most cost effective and safest way we've found to accurately measure top speed. Again great job and I'm coming for ya.
pharaoh319 I’m a bit spoiled and lucky to have tried a “high speed” build when most quality components and firmware will make it work without much trial and error. And absolutely that is next on my shopping list. Once I have one I’ll just do a quick video to show what the gps speed is
I bet you'll find GPS will make your quad faster. They don't seem very accurate for fast rc things that keep turning. Better for full size airplanes and cars that keep going in a straight line. Nicely done btw.
is there anyway to get past the glitchy video trasmission? or is it something we all have to put up with until some legend invents something that allows crystal clear view no glitch
WOW, that's moving... Just curious, I noticed that your motor rotation is opposite to normal, what would the speed be if they were running in normal rotation than in opposite rotation?
Noice...!!! Geez, man,that is FREAKING Fast!! You're an excellent pilot!! One day maybe I'll be half as good as you. You Sir...ROCK!!! Thanks For Sharing! And, Keep it Up!! *Pun Intended*
Awesome build! What props do you use on this build when flying race and how does it run on 4s/5s? I am looking to build a similar quad using the merica-X frame, but do you think it will be faster with the normal merica frame since its a bit more aerodynamic?
Can you help me with a question please? The way this unit is configured, how far away can you fly it without losing signal? The same question for how high can you take it without losing signal? I would very much appreciate learning this answer from as many of you cool people as possible. I thank you.
You should call it the Screech! It sure is loud, and Fast for that matter! What is it's weight? How much for the build? Anyway Excellent video, and Happy Droning!™
Seriously, great job Gabby. I was amazed an ordinary racing quad, with a motor change and some fast props could go THIS fast. It's interesting how close this is to whatever is the latest contender for the world's fastest quad. For a given prop diameter, I wonder what would determine a theoretical maximum speed? 1.) If you assumed you could get an unlimited amount of rpm's to each of the 4 propellers of a 5" (or then of different diameters), is there a theoretical limit? I calculated 50,400 rpm for a supersonic tip speed (figuring around 1,100 fps at sea level) for a 5 " propeller. It goes down to 42,000 rpm for a 6" propeller size. Is a supersonic prop tip speed a magical number for a reduction in prop thrust production? I can't believe I don' know off the top of my head. I know single rotor helicopters get into retreating blade stall that limits their top speeds. It doesn't seem like such things would come into play with a quad. 2.) If #1 doesn't give a theoretical limit to the top speed because of prop RPM then things would get way more complicated. Someone must have such things roughly calculated. Got any idea?
gedgar2000 I’m sure there is a way to just calculate rpm and prop size/pitch and a get a theoretical speed, problem is then you throw all these real life variables with drag and turbulence and a bunch of things that make it nearly impossible to predict haha
Ok I just got 2 ???. 1) What are the amps? (Amps times volts equals watts.) 2) how many G's is that thing pulling? I mean I could break the video down, but all I think of is that I'd pass out from that. The guy that hops up on the Gyro-tron & stands up!
Frightening shit man, that's sooo fast. Amazing you didn't hit that electrical pole on those runs. In real life pretty big gaps. But at those speeds it becomes more like tge opening of a snipergate.
Nice to see you into this hobby i am a big fan IndyCar racing i live at saint Petersburg Fl so you know this city and also flew drones trying to fly as much i can but you know this is not a cheap hobby👍🤣 like your video very good. BTW I just subscribe now
That's pretty dang fast. I like it. Have you tried the three blade props?? They will take your quad from fast to flat out craziness. They put out LOTS of thrust.
Shawn Dubay yea the 3 blade props will give you more thrust but less speed since they create more drag and less rpm, so for top speed, 2 blade, and for acceleration/ handling 3 blade!
I own DJIs all 3 models and 4pro, a Walker 250 pro and I'm shitting purple twinkies when my Walker goes over 75 mph!!! Damm that's fast!!!!!!!! Crazy fast!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 nice...
amazing video. trying to build something similar but the electronics and motirs you're using are discontinued. would 2306 2400-2500kv and a decent 50A esc would do the job/similar speed without blowing up ?
I am skeptical, I have driven a car at 150 plus, it looks much faster than the video. My guess it looks about 80 to 100 mph. How did you get the reading? I'm not saying your lying, just that it doesn't look 165.
Richie Rich and I drive Indycar at 240 mph, speed is perceived differently from different perspectives. The method used is measuring a distance, laying out a beacon at point A then point B, and using a transponder to measure the time it took to cover that distance which gives you a very accurate speed. Much more accurate than gps or radar
mx118racer yes mode 2. It’s a little deceiving because the quad is mostly already in forward flight so it takes very little pitch input but it’s certainly there
A normal racing quad is around 100-150$, assuming you build it yourself. The goggles can range from 100-500$, batteries are 25$ each, and you need a lipo charger which are 50-60$, and a transmitter which is around 100$. A 6s build like this will cost way more for the quad, and you will need to have some pretty damn good soldering skills to solder it. Look up some videos and guides on building quads.(btw quad=quadcopter)
I’m building my first ever and with everything including goggles I’m around $250-$300. I bought a fairly inexpensive build that will go only around 60-70mph. The transmitter and goggles are the two main big purchases and after that it’s fairly reduced pricing since you have those two components already.
e4Bc4Qf3QfI have more build than fly time... fear of destroying my precious builds xD only the self build naza ones flew more :D Started with multiwii back then... unflyable at first because of the processing power and software :D
Just wondering, what would you have to do to prevent the quad from flying unevenly/being hard to control at high speed? What causes that? D gain, filters etc..
"stop flying that dji mavic its too loud"
"okay i'll fly this smaller one then"
Zephyr what

HI GC, I'm working on my 2.5 Mass DR. HGLRC F438 TX20, RCX=H1304 4000KV. OR RCX H1407 3200KV. 4S 800mah ?
You should call it the Screech! It sure is loud, and Fast for that matter! What is it's weight? How much for the build? Anyway Excellent video, and Happy Droning!™
Bloody fast 💨 💨 impressive!
Seriously, great job Gabby. I was amazed an ordinary racing quad, with a motor change and some fast props could go THIS fast. It's interesting how close this is to whatever is the latest contender for the world's fastest quad. For a given prop diameter, I wonder what would determine a theoretical maximum speed? 1.) If you assumed you could get an unlimited amount of rpm's to each of the 4 propellers of a 5" (or then of different diameters), is there a theoretical limit? I calculated 50,400 rpm for a supersonic tip speed (figuring around 1,100 fps at sea level) for a 5 " propeller. It goes down to 42,000 rpm for a 6" propeller size. Is a supersonic prop tip speed a magical number for a reduction in prop thrust production? I can't believe I don' know off the top of my head. I know single rotor helicopters get into retreating blade stall that limits their top speeds. It doesn't seem like such things would come into play with a quad. 2.) If #1 doesn't give a theoretical limit to the top speed because of prop RPM then things would get way more complicated.
Someone must have such things roughly calculated. Got any idea?
gedgar2000 I’m sure there is a way to just calculate rpm and prop size/pitch and a get a theoretical speed, problem is then you throw all these real life variables with drag and turbulence and a bunch of things that make it nearly impossible to predict haha
Ok I just got 2 ???. 1) What are the amps? (Amps times volts equals watts.) 2) how many G's is that thing pulling? I mean I could break the video down, but all I think of is that I'd pass out from that. The guy that hops up on the Gyro-tron & stands up!
John VanAsselberg II I would say close to 200 amps for the 2 second burst, and not sure about the Gs hahaha maybe double what a dragster car does
That is incredibly exciting to see and hear! Definitely impressed! Keep up the great videos!
Frightening shit man, that's sooo fast. Amazing you didn't hit that electrical pole on those runs. In real life pretty big gaps. But at those speeds it becomes more like tge opening of a snipergate.
So again.. how did you come up with your speed? Did you take the 150m and equate the milliseconds from the ring marker to the transmission pole?
Is it possible to mount 2 additional motors forward facing ? like the Osprey. Would the drone be any faster ?
why would you fly so near power cables???!!!!!
why not?
how much did the drone weigh? I wonder how much kinetic energy would it have
Nice to see you into this hobby i am a big fan IndyCar racing i live at saint Petersburg Fl so you know this city and also flew drones trying to fly as much i can but you know this is not a cheap hobby👍🤣 like your video very good. BTW I just subscribe now
That's pretty dang fast. I like it. Have you tried the three blade props?? They will take your quad from fast to flat out craziness. They put out LOTS of thrust.
Shawn Dubay yea the 3 blade props will give you more thrust but less speed since they create more drag and less rpm, so for top speed, 2 blade, and for acceleration/ handling 3 blade!
Hi Cannonball. Nice work!
How does the quad feel with the DYS Thor 2500KV 6S? Would you fly it on a racetrack? And how was the amp draw?
Moritz Beyer I don’t think I would fly it on a race track. Amp draw is too high. Peaking around 200 amps, not really sustainable for racing
How did it feel though? Would you like to fly it on a track?
HAHAH That was fun?? more like Crazy !! Dude that is freaking sweet! good job!
I own DJIs all 3 models and 4pro, a Walker 250 pro and I'm shitting purple twinkies when my Walker goes over 75 mph!!! Damm that's fast!!!!!!!! Crazy fast!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 nice...
Wanna see how fast my floss 3.0 goes on 6s, but I got a lil bit to go skill wise b4 I try, great stuff man, awesome runs!!
amazing video. trying to build something similar but the electronics and motirs you're using are discontinued. would 2306 2400-2500kv and a decent 50A esc would do the job/similar speed without blowing up ?
It’s all in the setup
I am skeptical, I have driven a car at 150 plus, it looks much faster than the video. My guess it looks about 80 to 100 mph. How did you get the reading? I'm not saying your lying, just that it doesn't look 165.
Richie Rich and I drive Indycar at 240 mph, speed is perceived differently from different perspectives. The method used is measuring a distance, laying out a beacon at point A then point B, and using a transponder to measure the time it took to cover that distance which gives you a very accurate speed. Much more accurate than gps or radar
Cool video, what did you use to measure the speed of the drone?
How are you getting the reading? What are you using.
im kinda new to this but watching your sticks you dont seem to pitch forward as you accel, is this mode 2 ?
mx118racer yes mode 2. It’s a little deceiving because the quad is mostly already in forward flight so it takes very little pitch input but it’s certainly there
how much does it cost to build one of those, I been considering it latley
A normal racing quad is around 100-150$, assuming you build it yourself. The goggles can range from 100-500$, batteries are 25$ each, and you need a lipo charger which are 50-60$, and a transmitter which is around 100$. A 6s build like this will cost way more for the quad, and you will need to have some pretty damn good soldering skills to solder it. Look up some videos and guides on building quads.(btw quad=quadcopter)
Minimal amount is usually $175 usd
I’m building my first ever and with everything including goggles I’m around $250-$300. I bought a fairly inexpensive build that will go only around 60-70mph. The transmitter and goggles are the two main big purchases and after that it’s fairly reduced pricing since you have those two components already.
e4Bc4Qf3QfI have more build than fly time... fear of destroying my precious builds xD only the self build naza ones flew more :D
Started with multiwii back then... unflyable at first because of the processing power and software :D
@@kwaggo462 what googles and transmitter did you buy
Nice. What a rush!! Now you gotta go for 200
Just wondering, what would you have to do to prevent the quad from flying unevenly/being hard to control at high speed? What causes that? D gain, filters etc..
Can the electronics in this drone be adapted for use in model rocketry?
Holy smoke! Wow, amazing speeds. :)
So fast and the good thing is you show the controller video which is very helpful for beginners to fly in this much speed
the awkward moment when the controller is more expensive than your entire fpv set up
Still impressive 2 years after. 👍🏾👏🏾
