Sometimes you don't have a need but a want. 
My goal is to build something that is fast for no reason other than the sake of being fast and hyper agile.

Let me know what you guys think is a better frame, and whether or not I should throw some F80pros on here for the h*ll of it'

with this build I'm aiming for a 250g dry weight with a thrust to weight ratio of 20 to 1. I've managed to get it to about 16 to 1 right now.

nice! i like to see that build :-)

both frames seems good choices to me, buut i beleive there is an overall new and better one :-D

or even more crazy just for speedagility would be the arx frame https://rotorbuilds.com/profile/1945
i guess its a lot tuningwork needed, overall not so practice friendly... but probably it doesnt need to be that?

Oh noes do we have another *racer*????

nope - freestyle forever .. but the Velocidrone sim might've peaked my interest....but even more-so, it'd be interesting to cut through the sky as if there's no gravity or mass....

I like that flyfive33 frame --- I didn't see any sort of gopro mount mockups anywhere.... if I could figure out how to mount one for the occasional ravaging and recording I just might spring for it. It looks nice!

couldnt find a gopro mount, but one for an insta360 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4547105

Hmm... I'm leaning towards the other two only because of the available print parts...

i can understand but i wont xD probably someone could draw one for you? https://into3dp.com/ you could probably ask on into3dp

regardless the frame choice, i will be happy to see your buildlog anyway

yeah I see...hmmm.... very interesting. Who knows -- we will see !!! I tend to annoy this community with my back and forth, so my next post will be once a decision is made haha....

Growth....lol

lol I like it

I think the F80's would actually be unnecessarily big. Maybe some 2306's just so you can get some 5055's spinning up super fast .

Even with the 2207's it is going to hammer.

Try to fit a GPS on it just so you can see the speed real time. The TBS M8 is nice and light.

I'm pretty Happy with the Xilo Phreak frame. I have had some intense crashes with it and not a scratch. I also have some 2207 2450 motors on a 4" frame. I had the same thought when I built it. I wanted to build a screamer and now its my favorite freestyle drone. And it's fast! Here's the thread to my build. You can get anywhere from 3" to 6" arms for this frame.

A cool freestyle move with that build is if you get like those kiddie popup soccer goals, then cut out the nets.  Then you can practice doing split-S's into it and just going through it fast.  If you got like 2 or 8, it's even better!  Super fun! 



(We are going to turn this one into a racer)

do you think 16 to 1 thrust ratio is enough to be agile, or should I try and push it to 20 or 21 to 1 ?

sure it will be agile, overall less weight would go more agile than a higher power to weight ratio

New shoes came in today !!! I learned that these are top of line RCinPower Motors OEM. The finish and hardware is almost identical as well. I can't wait to fly these....

I took a few picts for yall. Should I do a youtube review of these motors compared to the F60 Pros I have?
