I was apart of that era... and yeah it didn't push pro photographer into extinction.... it just drove them crazy and most turned into a bunch of whining brats....
I have no problem doing both....

Oh... i must of got the uber Zippy Compacts... since i put near 200+ cycles on my 4S 4000/4500mah batts during the summer and they still all hold pretty near full charge.
Crack me up tho.... are you serious... $80 for one 4S 3800mah 25C battery... i only paid $30 for one 4S 4500mah 35C...
I had Genace and then bought some Zippy Compacts... the Zips performed the same and weigh less so i sold the Gens.
During a cartwheel incident a balance lead flung out and got chopped or crushed dunno but it smoked for a sec and had to be replaced.
Also got tired of always having to tuck in...
Well i'll be.... and point noted.... also very kewl stoof and geeerage QA.
I just received my third Warthox frame a few days ago.
Really don't understand the whole FC open concept of most builds... i like to build mine tight and wrapped... here i come crappy weather.
I first bought Genace batts for their rep.... then i tried the Zips for price and weight.... now all i have are Zip compacts 4S 4000-4500mah....i sold all my Genace awhile ago.
All i know is that i can run the dji stock motors at 150F for a couple of minutes and they're fine after 50+ packs... when i land they'll jump another 10F... sometimes i just let the motors idle and the temps drop quickly down to 110F from the wash. i have a telemetry sensor on one of the motors
Fyi i run 4S 4500mah on 10" props and my motors get to 150F all the time.... 50 packs later then are fine.... so i wouldn't worry about your stock motors until you get your new ones.
this is the build page.... http://warthox.de/built-one/
the rosewhite rachel v2 frame is the sweetest looking frame i've ever seen...http://warthox.de/category/rosewhite/
It's not the quad frame but the FC... the newer boards have better mpu6050 gyros and other sensors... they're selling off...
I just had the exact same problem twitch.... switched out the esc and motors that i thought were bad but it still persisted and was thinking it could be the FC. Seemed like all the motors were fine without props.... but then i left the quad on the ground and throttled up enough to just lift the...
I gave up trying to source black replacement arms and just painted them after breaking a few arms... they take spraypaint well so if you're stuck.
But then after i started to really fly fast and high had to paint them fluorescent orange and green.... bad eyes.
Surprised most fpv'ers don't go...
I use the T610 it's a 10 amp charger.... picked it up at hobbypartz on sale for $50.... nice all metal charger has storage/discharge/fast charge/balance function .
Been charging 4S 4000-4500mah batts in the field one right after the other in 35C temps and the charger preforms flawlessly... @...
I don't get it.... have about 40 flights on my !0" props.... they seem to preform well even after aboot 5 or 6 minor crashes.
And i fly hard and pound the sticks....
