Hey guys,

We'll be doing an FPV racing quad this winter as a group build. In preparation for that let's gather up a list of FPV racing frame manufacturers that are worth considering.

nice frame but isn't $155 a little steep for a 250 quad frame? i've listed it above and in the group build fpv racer thread in the beginners' lounge

is that your shop by any chance?

 

[Joshua Hunt]

Depends, compare to a zmr yes, but when you start looking its not much more than the high end(blackout/qav250). It has an integrated PDB and OSD which eliminates weight and extra cost.

It is not, but I have purchased the frame. Ordered on Friday, arrived this morning. Will be taking a look at it end of this week.

Will do!

'Nuff said.

the tube arms make a lot more sense than the flat plate arms but it's bigger than the 250 spec racer we're building, right?

 

[rclover106]

I guess so,
"Motors form a 200mm square (~8") and runs on 5-inch props."
This was the spec's of one of the earliest stages of this quad. So that would come out to 283mm motor to motor. I don't know if ImmersionRC's version, integrated electronics etc, is the same or not. Just thought some people would like to see it if they haven't already.

Happy flying
