The newest brushless micro to arrive on the virtual shelves of GearBest this year, is the LANCHI Monster, its one of the smallest brushless micro's that are available on the site right now, although from that information I don't quite understand why they called it the Monster?! Maybe this was the easiest way for Lanchi to advise their clients that, while minuscule in stature, this little monster is no toy and deserves a healthy dose of respect?



Its a truly diminutive frame at only 76mm, the chassis is made from 2mm (1.5mm for the camera protection plates) full 3k weave Carbon Fiber, and which houses a BLHeli_S, 10A continuous current (15a max burst), 4-in-1, ESC board which send DShot (150,300,600)or OneShot (125, 42) signals to the 1104, 8000kV motors, swinging 1630 tri-blade props.



Supplied with a 2s (7.4v,) 500mAh, 20c battery and a 5v, AIO, 700TVL CMOS, FPV camera with an FOV of 120 degrees, the Lanchi Monster should provide high quality image stream for up to 200 meters thanks to the 25mW, 48 channel VTX. The LED's make LOS flying easier to maintain orientation of the craft, while the buzzer makes finding the quad after an FPV mis-adventure slightly less frustrating.



The crown of this little jewel though, is the F4 Flight Controller, which supports SBUS, PPM and DSMX receivers, provided ready flashed with BetaFlight 3.1.0 OmnibusF4 firmware, an integrated on screen display and 5v 1A BEC.  Aside from the no receiver (PNP) version, the receiver options for the bind and fly (BNF) RX come in the form of an  FRSky PPM/SBUS 8 channel (600m range, 5v) or a FlySky PPM/SBUS 8 Channel (400m range, 3.3 - 5v.)



Though the ESC board and FC are rated for 2-4s, the motors supplied with the Monster are only 2s compatible, with the quite low discharge rate from the 20c battery, this could cause some serious speed addicts to grumble. The 56g (Dry weight) quad might quieten those grumbles with a battery offering a higher discharge rate though, or some 10000kV motors..?

Sounds good Had a look at the page, preorder only yet, so i guess you didn't get to test one yourself?

No, sorry bud..! This is just a pre-launch look with a few speculative observations. Does look quite cool though, 1104's and an F4 fc on a 76mm frame sounds like quite an interesting recipe!
