Made4Race - RaceOneX 210 the X210 to discover!
We had the honor of receiving a great test carbon X210 chassis designed by the now well-known shop Made4Race .
The RaceOneX is intended and designed primarily for racing.
Due to its X shape elongated, it allows a very good lock on the pitch and more aggressive cornering.
The chassis of 210mm motor engine to mount propellers up to 5 inches, which is more than enough to ensure a good compromise between power / speed / autonomy.
Reduced weight thanks to a relatively thoughtful design and a rock solid thanks to its manufacturing carbon frame makes this a product of choice for mounting your next machine!
Yes but not that ...
The RaceOneX vain designed for running, it will prove equally efficient in freestyle or in low-riding

[MEA CULPA ON]
Thank Made4Race for this superb chassis perfectly machined and apologize for the time a little long it took me to lay this article.
A cruel lack of time, time a little excessive equipment delivery and the weather picks made me earn delays (and as I like to test the hardware to its limits before releasing an article ...)
[MEA CULPA OFF]
unboxing
Well packed in its decorated and personalized zip bag, packaging changes the traditional cardboard box.
In addition we received lots of cool stuff in the gift package: the stickers, the straps with silicone battery grip and a sweet tooth! Service on top!

No, you're not dreaming!
They even had the delicate attention to customize our bag Heart

In the main bag everything is separate.
Icing on the cake is received with a very clear instructions and there many competitors should take seed.

First weighing 98g, very suitable and we must not forget that everything is still packed in small plastic bags.

skin
In order to have a chassis which tears and that is like no other, my friend Mikel FPV me a great skin to apply to the frame.
Both say that with this design that slap, I will not go unnoticed at the next sessions!

A chrome look great and design by Mikel FPV ... I liiiiiike!

Overview
ATTENTION we used our personal skin for the overview.
If you want to see what the naked chassis looks without the skin, many photos are available on the product page of the frame.
An X elongated frame format 210.

Top design and aggressive look that leaves no one indifferent.

Profile and using little hardware, we thought a perfect balance for performance.

On the back of the frame, there is a hole to house the remote antenna connector of a tramp IRC style video transmitter.

The camera stand is ready for the cameras to standard 26x26mm format and allows a maximum angle of about 60 degrees.
Note that to fix the latest formats of double locking cameras (like runcam eagle owl or more), you have to adapt a little bit because the support of the double lock is not provided here.

On the top plate, was beautiful cuts while length and especially two holes (on either side of the logo "fpv squad") allow the fixation of a possible support for sporting camera.
On the right you can see a cable passage intended to accommodate those of battery power, it avoids they wander the side propellers.

The end of the arm, ready to absorb shocks, used to mount all types 22xx or 23xx engines.
With such engines overreach we will performance and maximum thrust.

Inside the frame, at the rear, there is a carbon plate placed perpendicularly.
This plate will be used to fix your video transmitter, allowing easy access to this one to make adjustments.
At the same time, it will be a great reinforcement to stiffen in case of crash.

Weight and Dimensions
They promised us a 3mm carbon racer ... the challenge is successful!
The action was taken at the base of the arm.

Carbon size is respected over its entire length.
Here the measure was taken in arms length.

3mm measured to the top plate to a hair's breadth, with this thickness is unlikely to be the case.

Almost 3mm for the bottom plate.
My finger has probably slipped during the photo ... anyway arms placed underneath strengthen the whole.
2,85mm for the bottom plate, after redoing the measurement for verification.

The side of the cage that will welcome all your electronics, it has plenty to do.
125,5mm length.

The wider the cage 46.5mm is obtained.

Amid the 38mm cage, so it is difficult to give a contoured volume ... but do not worry, everything goes in easily.

Height: a small 43,9mm.

The assembled and sKine frame, one obtains a weight of 96g.

Material list
To equip this superb chassis, I opted for a minimalist configuration that consists of:

the chassis RaceOneX 210 home M4R
4 engines brotherhobby 2206 2600kv
4 propellers schubkraft 5042 × 3
4 esc favorite littlebee 30A supports up to 6S
an F3 AIO V4 which includes all the necessary electronics (PDB, OSD, FC, BECS, VTX, ...) that runs betaflight.
an XSR FrSky receiver in sbus
a runcam eagle 16: 9 800TVL
a aomway 4 antenna lobes

Mounting
It starts to work and assembled all EASY using the instructions supplied!

Level hardware I have to say it is a little short, no replacement is provided in case of breakage.

The further I go and I like this little guy!

F3 AIO (all in one - all in one).
betaflight running, it includes almost all the electronics needed.
Controller F3 fast flight (but not super fast), power distribution plate, direct battery connection with current monitor / voltage telemetry display in the video stream, 5 and 12V power supply with noise filter, video transmitter with selectable power 25/200 / 600mw and remote antenna, many input / output ports.

When we take into account all the necessary electronics, we wonder how we arrive at a weight so small.

The weight of the AIO must add the antenna connector, the buzzer and the XT60.

Having an F3 AIO with a too short cable to place the video antenna connector in the space provided on the chassis, I used the plate for fixing the video transmitter to fix my video antenna.

Problems encountered
Aluminum hardware is very nice of her azure, it also has the advantage of being lightweight ... maybe too much!
I managed to break two screws by performing hand tightening and as there is no spare room because it is counted to the nearest unit, I had to find a solution to retrieve B screw right to left.

I did not show in the presentation but here's the bottom of the chassis, I deliberately placed in the "problems" because for me it's a nuisance.
This chassis does not place a lipo below .. yet I love having my battery below for achieving the lowest possible center of gravity.
We are obliged to place the battery on the top plate, which is not very practical because you will not find the necessary space for runcam or GoPro.

I also placed the camera support in this part because, although the support is suitable for standard HS1177-type camera, it is not appropriate at all for a runcam eagle camera. We know the fix, but even tight it moves too easily from the bottom up and if you start a flight with the angle, it is finally pointing down ... only solution drag a thickness below the camera (here I slipped a little foam) to prevent it from falling.

Ready to take off
Assembled, installed and configured. The beast is ready to make its maiden.
It is not my beautiful racer?

With a final weight of 332g RTF can hardly do better.
Perhaps by replacing esc with a 4 in 1
However, with this weight, it really is in all good weight / power ratio.

Conclusion
The M4R RaceOneX 210 5 inches is the very good stuff!
Light, agile, fluid resistant, it will suit anyone wishing to ride a quad bike built for speed but delight freestylers or low-riders!
I was impressed by his perfect behavior in flight ... No vibration, speed of lightness and dry cornering .. it's quite enjoyable

Nevertheless suffering a few teething problems as the inability to put the battery on the bottom (unless adapter) or a lean quality screws, these small improvements we hope will be an update to become a "best seller"
Video of the maiden
Note: this video is a maiden (first flight), it was not broadcast in order to open in the view but you created to demonstrate the behavior quite healthy this chassis during the flight.
PIDs are those provided in basic betaflight 3.1.
YES, I KNOW YOU SEE A LOT OF GRASS ... BUT HAVING NO PLACE FOR THE HD CAMERA, I PLACED AN HD RUNCAM ABOVE THE BATTERY POWER WITHOUT GIVING HIM AN ANGLE SUFFICIENT TO PROPERLY AIM THE HORIZON DURING THE FLIGHT.

For fun
Right after the maiden I pay for my last purchase ... this is what happens.
Small LiPo Heater, heater ...
