First step, build the arms. I have a second/spare Tarot 680 kit which will come in handy to build the new arms without pulling everything apart from the current flying one. Its a very nice kit, the quality just feels exceptional... Plenty of cable length, even with the extended arms. Just...

Today my DJI E800 propulsion system arrived along with the Tarot extended arms and retracts fro the 680. Let the -rebuild commence

So ive made the decision to upgrade to a DJI E800 tuned propulsion. Never saw them announced, only noticed them a few days ago when i was looking up the E600. Should give me a bit more lifting capacity, performance, and hopefully longer flight times. Also hope the rumoured firmware update for...

No, my charger doesn't have that ability. I do need to get my self a new charger, one with more power as it takes about 2 hrs to charge the big 16000mah batteries.

RangeVideo branded ones. They no longer seem to make the 16000mah 4s one. They weren't selling Tattu batteries at the time i bought mine, if they did i would have gotten the Tattu ones.

I apologies too, as i hadn't really posted any updates for some time. So as it stands, with gimbal, gopro 4 black, 13" tarot props etc.. i get at best 8 min 30 sec with the big 16000mah batteries. These to my mind now were an expensive mistake. I could never get more than about half the...

Just got confirmation from ZTW that the v2 product isn't running SimonK firmware (even though the packaging say it does). So buyer beware, you may have to reflash it with SimonK or BLheli, unles of course their firmware works.

Ok, so i got a response from ZTW today... Thanks for your positive feedback and attention to ZTW Model. Upon to your questions, the answer is following: Can you please tell me the difference between version 1 and 2? Attached the newest instructions for your reference, you can find out the...

I just did the normal simonk calibration, as you say full throttle, power on, throttle down and its set. But it doesn't seem to work like that. I'm starting to think that its running stock amtel firmware, maybe? It maybe because I haven't done the correct throttle calibration for whatever...

Yes I have (see the video). The problem is I don't know what version is on the older ESCs. I don't want to change what's on the older ones as they are working perfectly. I'm hoping for a reply from ZTW. The version 2 looks no different hardware wise, so if ZTW can tell me what version they...

Well no closer to a resolution, have had no replies from ZTW yet, nor here. One thing i have noticed now, which never caught my eye before is that this is a version 2, the packaging doesn't indicate this, only a small V2 printed on the ESC itself. From what ive found on goodluckbuy (this isn't...

Ive just now uploaded a video to illustrate what i'm on about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKXT2qvBqs If anyone can tell me if the beeps from the new ESCs are in actual fact SimonK or not. I don't know if all SimonK firmware versions/revisions use the exact same beeps or have changed over...

Well thats a pain in the ***... Got my Gimbal this week and some other bits including 2 new ZTW Spider ESCs to replace 1 i had damaged and for 1 for a spare. What ive found is these news ones which were only manufactured 2 weeks ago (according to the paparwork in the packet) seem to be running...

First thoughts of it in the air as this is my first time flying with the NAZA controller (previous experience is only with a Blade 350QX). Its stable and very responsive, i'm liking it a lot. Since those vids ive increased the pitch and roll gains (up around 180-190) and its sharp, very sharp...

OK, ive got a lot of photos, so i thought it easier to upload to my flickr account and share the album. https://www.flickr.com/photos/alieneclipse/sets/72157646456869979/ Let me know if for some reason you can't view it. Also, here are a couple of quick vidz for its first flight and another...

Additional parts, let see... i got a wiring pack from helipal, nothing much else major really, just misc tools i didn't already have. I did also use XT90 connectors for the batteries rather than the XT60.

Sorry, ive been a bit slack. I will try and get some photos and more info up tonight. I have more or less finished the build and had a few test flights to dial in the gains. So far its working great. Ive already started making plans to change it to the hybrid setup with the longer arms to run...

I should read the packaging more closely. Turns out the ZTW Spider ESC's are pre-flashed with SimonK firmware! Yay for me, i don't have to mess around trying to flash them. Build is coming along nicely, will put some photos up soon.

Thanks FlyGirl. Ive started looking into flashing the ESC's with SimonK.

Ok, so no ones showing me any love, but that's alright, i can deal with that. Anywho, been flying the 350QX as much as i can (its winter here in NZ) and have come (i think) a long, but i know ive got much further to go. Ive also, finally managed to get everything i need to start building my...
