Title: Returning to the RC world again. Need advice on upgrading quad. Post by: r3ap3r on October 13, 2018, 04:51:12 PM After a hiatus of almost 2.5yrs I've clean and dusted my f450 to soar the skies again.
My setup: F450 with stock dji 2212 motors, usual 30A simonk escs, naza lite hacked to naza v2. Frsky V8fr-II rx m, a half dead gimbal, sj5000x elite, ts5828 vtx and powering this horse is a 3300mah battery... Yes I don't have a vRx because tbh I lost my fatshark gogs :( :( Mostly I do aerial videography and intend to continue the same however I would like to ask the senior community here for their inputs as to what additions and subtractions should I do to the quad for: 1. Longer flight time (currently at 10-12mins full load) 2. Smoother videography 3. Suggest a good vRx Thank you. Title: Re: Returning to the RC world again. Need advice on upgrading quad. Post by: Imperial fire on October 14, 2018, 07:40:54 PM i think the esc are old and heavy..
consider upgrading to a 4in1 ..saves weight and newer esc are always more efficient. a new frame made of c.f will also do great... painless 360 is doing agreat series on endurance quad build...maybe follow it.! kp.

Sounds about right. Ordered a S500 frame since the old one is showing signs of ageing (read crash scars) Kindly elaborate on the esc you mentioned. |
