Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
Dry fit done... colors will change.. I'm thinking pink! gonna use Castle DMR 30/40 ESCs, SP EVO mkII flight controller, SP OSD/PDB, Luminier 200mw VTX, & the Luminier 16.9 cam.. TBS antenna... should be pretty sweet. The FC & OSD/PDB are on the way... be a few weeks before more is obtained.. but I've started.

Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
Very nice spec Clay, but be prepared you may need to soft mount the fc, the ill fated mpu6500 which does not tolerate any vibes

Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
Nice build, I wish I could afford another.
I would check that the 16x9 cam is still CCD.
If it's CMOS you will introduce a slight amount of lag.
40ms might not sound like much until you are doing 100km with a mini.

Motors seems powerful.
Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
Thanks for the tips guys! The controller will have damping upon install.. my 210 w the Naze32 rev6 has damping as well... I'm a believer.. the camera is a CMOS... but been hearing good things about it.. plus the aspect ration matches my Domin V3 goggles.. figures it was a good match.. I'll read up more about it tho. Thanks again!

Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
Well.. this build took a bit longer than I had anticipated... and is only now finished thanks to a bud who donated the ESCs & camera.. I have been Laid off work now for a few weeks.. just after I started this build actually.. so it wasn't a priority by any means.. but my pals came thru for me to help out and now she's done. The SP Racing EVO controller is fantastic.. the SP Racing OSD/PDB is not.. long story short.. the video had to be bypassed away from the OSD just to get video.. so there is no OSD(I'll explain later.. but I do NOT suggest anyone try it just yet). Due to the finance situation, I did not get the camera I wanted.. used a second hand HS1177 w a 2.5 GoPro lens with my old 600mw Lumenier VTX.. & I like it! The KDE motors & Castle ESCs are FANTASTIC! I pink'd her out with standoffs & LEDs... so her name is "Lil Pinky"..

Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
Got some tuning done... added another LED strip across the top/front. Flys pretty good! I have it set to red in disarmed.. pink while armed.. on the bottom the inner lights blink red & green for port & starboard. On the front I have the outter LEDs blink just cause it's forward.

Re: QAV X Quad Racer Build
I was going to say that was looking awfully pink in your other thread with the video posted.
