Well the owner of Fossils stuff has done it again and is releasing another new quad and as you read in the title is a baby fossil.

With the craze being in small powerful and agile quads this was a category that was waiting for an entry.

So guess what I'm getting one to build and thought I would give everyone a bit of a preview

This is one of the team pilots prototype build

And a video https://youtu.be/X1KFKnBkIBg

And the specs I know

4 inch props
22xx motors
Little bees 20a or similar
Room for full size naze or even the new tbs power cube
And upto 1500mah 4s drone lab for size.
Hs1177 fpv cam and 25 - 200mw vx

Will carry a gopro no problem.

Nice, looks like loads of fun.

Those motors look really well protected.

If its like any of the other fossils frames it will take a hell of a beating,

Dan it will be released this month and with great colour options,

Stambo, its one thing I found with my Gravity 250 the motor protection is epic, had so many crashes with mine and only hurt one motor when I hit a steel fence bar.

A bit more info guys

The frame is going to come with the same guarantee as the 250 and 280 frames. Break it once and if it's un flyable and deemed a warranty claim you will have the piece replaced.

Also if you want to be a little different then why not mix and match your colours.

What size of motors can it take?

KevG · Post by **KevG** » Tue Mar 15, 2016 9:45 pm

22xx motors

I'm going with Emax RS2205 2600kv red bottoms,

Supposed to be very lively

Post by **danhampson** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 5:55 pm

That's a lot of motor for such a small frame. Is it here yet???

KevG · Post by **KevG** » Wed Mar 16, 2016 9:18 pm
