[00:02:24] hey friends I'm Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Ciotti Welcome to Hell welcome to Monday castle crash prep day quad mola F3 siren is pretty much done I wasn't able to get it up in the
[00:02:41] air because I had to spend an hour trying to figure out the stupid user one pin iio box nonsense with these Talon flight controllers made by CL racing but eventually I got it figured out and
[00:02:59] it's a little bit heavier than I thought it's going to be with a 4S 850 it's going to be like 275 gram all up I think which is close enough to 250 kind of figured out the antennas I'm not
[00:03:15] I'm still not super thrilled with them I might just do a blob of E6000 to kind of hold them in the rest of the way they just they're like they're okay but if they get pulled really hard
[00:03:29] they'll they'll pop out of the thing TOA 155s discontinued Motors 3,800 KV GemFan 3052 props WalkSnail everything came together pretty good I ended up using these little
[00:03:51] 3D printed TPU jobbies to get the mini Mortal T down here away from everything I didn't use the the arm guards because the included Hardware is too long and it was driving up into the
[00:04:09] windings Stater windings in the motors I don't know why they include that length I'm not sure what motors would be able to use those screws but they're conical screws so I don't have
[00:04:22] any any extras so next time I do an order from quad mola I'm going to have to get shorter screws if I want to run those guys for right now I just won't run them it's going to get even
[00:04:33] heavier with those which is kind of insane so I might try to fart around over on thingiverse and try to find a lighter weight set of arm protectors for the front but other than
[00:04:45] that came together pretty good the ESC is a speedix is35 I misspoke yesterday yesterday I said it's an is-30 speedix is35 it's be S so I have on Blue J I don't know motor
[00:05:03] spun up totally fine in BetaFlight seems like it should be okay I ran out of daylight trying to get the basically trying to get power to the to the WalkSnail
[00:05:15] VTX and also I have not tightened up the camera screws which are admittedly hard to tighten up they're like right perfectly in line with the front Motors so you got to kind of put your driver in there at
[00:05:32] an angle which is never great but not the end of the world there we go there's one side the flight footage a second ago was from the little tiny Hawk 3 actually little
[00:05:45] bind and fly with a quick propeller Swap and XT30 swap that was hauling around the big battery too I was hauling around a gnb 2S 550 with like 5 minutes of run time
[00:05:58] or something I mean you guys you might have seen it on the end of the flight file so tonight we're going to get the grino here's a well after that I put these other two Motors
[00:06:14] on it we'll weigh these two I mean these are two of the the best most popular 3 in in air quotes frames the gr arino is actually 3 and a half inch my God look at the difference look at the
[00:06:31] difference in in motor location so I'm going to line up the front Motors look at the difference in the rear Motors the the grind arino I believe is a true X certainly looks like it
[00:06:49] that's a true x the the siren f3s are squat squish deck cool stuff it'll be nice to have these both up in the air hopefully for castle crash that'll be cool if we
[00:07:09] have time I have to make a ESC to flight controller cable for a 5- in rig and then I want to pull the other one apart no I have to pull the other one apart because the VTX was
[00:07:30] freaking out I need to go outside and fly tomorrow I I need to fly some stuff and see what's broken and see what's not the motors that are going on the grind arino are these xnova 1804
[00:07:44] 3500s and so we just got to chop these wires down strip them tint them and just pop them on there that'll be super easy I'm really impressed by quad Mulla to be really honest just like I know it
[00:08:05] seems like a small thing but individually bagging the different screws for the different parts of the build and then having those bags be labeled that's pretty rare and that's
[00:08:17] like really really nice and the everything went together fine everything lined up correctly it was a pretty pretty straightforward build I dig it I I'm super impressed I'm
[00:08:33] not surprised though but I because everybody's been saying that quad mola is great for the last like year I also managed to so first of all I thought I was putting red and white LED
[00:08:45] arm LEDs on here as it turns out they're orange and white which is kind of okay because these TOA Mamba Motors are orange on the inside but I somehow managed to put
[00:09:00] orange and white so they're they're opposed which is going to drive me absolutely insane but I ain't fixing it I ain't pulling I'm not fixing it I'll I'll blow up
[00:09:18] a motor at some point and when I have to desolder a motor to swap it I might actually end up pulling the orange ones off of there but I don't know I'll fig figured out I'll cross
[00:09:30] that bridge when I get to it so I need to find a battery strap for this too I haven't found a battery strap the the quad mola battery strap that they send you while
[00:09:44] very nice is also very very heavy it's like over five grams because it's a big fat battery strap and it's got a big fat metal buckle I'm sure I've got like a 1 something gam plastic Buckle
[00:09:56] thinner battery strap floating around here somewhere that I can use so that'll be pretty much like the last thing that I do though save that box over there so that's the plan for
[00:10:10] tonight Q&A of course as always and is that all I put in the thing Castle Crush prep fix and grind arino what else did I put in here YouTube come on man oh right beta
[00:10:24] flight setups oh we won't get to the 5 in rigs tonight if we have some extra time after the grindo what I want to do is get I've got a couple of whoops that are almost
[00:10:37] set up in BetaFlight but not quite and so we'll dive into that you guys will get to see how I set BetaFlight up one of them needs to be set up from scratch this has this wacky iflight
[00:10:52] AO we'll see how that is and then another and then I've got the O8 2.8 rig on the Spectre AO we'll get that set the rest of the way up and see how that thing is that's probably what we'll
[00:11:07] fly tonight so that's the plan in the chat Northern Tier was first doubles FPV was next can I get a channel cisal FPV Shane and Mindy FPV RC Ram dco Curtis Hayes Denzil the
[00:11:24] terrible Matthew Rose Tom Johnson fun perol Zoe Curtis Hayes Denzel the terrible Scotty Scott Ry bre Douglas 6 Frank Nicholas Cactus Andrew Taylor Brad monden Striker Mr Blue Sky 661 Dan
[00:11:39] Zilla Hilo zebra JP Spen Mr Blue Sky brand Anderson tiny shark fre lojo H hockey rounds Kathy McKibben fly high FPV what's up brother danilla Curtis Hayes JP spin cowboy with a C camera safe zone four
[00:12:01] little pigs Bob Bruce what's up everybody Jay-Z BR Anderson I think I got everybody I'll be feeling better by by Castle Crush I promise I'm crawling my my way out of the the
[00:12:20] Hole that is living with major depressive disorder so if you're coming to see me expect normal Ciotti by this weekend it'll be fine I promise Cisco FPV says oh that's super cool
[00:12:36] cisal FPV is offering up a castle crash pilot P pass for someone if they want to go he bought one before he decided to volunteer so he decided to pass it on it's very cool if you CIS awesome
[00:12:50] tag Cisco in the chat if you're interested type at s i s ke L FPV ctis says broke my grinder in arm when a t-mount prop fell off during flight what's the best way to secure those
[00:13:02] props think about buying titanium M2 X7 Philips head screws I've never really had an issue with that my guess is that's like a that's like a maintenance item like
[00:13:19] you you want to check t-mount screw tightness every 20 batteries I don't know every every time you come home maybe just throw a driver on a couple the screws and make sure they're not backing out
[00:13:32] I've never really had a hard time you do have to be careful though there are certain propellers with thicker hubs than others and so before you put a propeller onto a t-mount motor always
[00:13:46] put the screws into the propeller and look at the bottom of the prop to see how much thread is coming through if there's only like a tiny little bit of thread coming through there there's not going to be a
[00:13:59] whole lot for that to hang on to you might strip the Bell out or if the prop backs out a little bit it'll it'll back all the way out so these GemFan 30 52s for
[00:14:13] example you can't run M2 x7s you have to run M2 by8 screws to get enough meat on the the the Bell that's pretty rare most propellers you can run m2x sevens which are like the standard
[00:14:31] screw size for team out but check that that could be it if if you're only getting like 3/4s of a turn and then it backs out a little bit right it's gone
[00:14:45] and then I guess the other thing is like don't overtighten them but give them a give them a little give him a little ass it sounds like maybe you haven't been tightening enough so maybe
[00:14:57] tighten a little bit more definitely itely never ever ever ever ever use Loctite because Loctite eats plastic so if you use Loctite on your tmount screws the prop will explode all four
[00:15:09] props will explode midair so never ever ever locktite these screws you can locktite these screws down here and you should you can locktite pretty much all the other screws on the
[00:15:22] quad but never lock tight screws that are going to be in contact with plastic it's bad it goes horribly wrong Scotty Scott says what's up gangly drones might be going to castle
[00:15:34] crash I will get to meet King gangly drone himself sounds good man I I I hope a bunch of you guys come and we can hang out I'm mainly going to just kind of hang out I'm not going with like
[00:15:47] huge aspirations of flying I'm sure I will fly a little bit and I'm going to bring a bunch of rigs but I'm mainly going to kind of hang that'll be fun I'm excited
[00:15:57] strier says what's up Kea zebra says good evening tiny shark says tiny shark also says you're planning to make a cheat sheet for 2 in to 5 in similar to the tiny whoop spreadsheet
[00:16:10] with motors KV and all up weight I've tried to do it in the past tiny what's actually super funny is I when I when I went into my Google Drive to make that tiny whoop Power
[00:16:26] Train sheet I stumbled across a version that I'd previously done the problem is there's just there's way too much there are way too many parts and then the parts go out of stock
[00:16:45] way too quickly and so it just it's just kind of doesn't work with tiny whoops a set of Motors pop up and they're there for a while I don't want Google Docs I want Google Sheets right is that
[00:17:02] what it's called No it is Google Docs but I think I have it in Google Sheets hold on oh my God come on man are you kidding me why does it there we go I think it's this
[00:17:20] motor and prop combos is this this is it so look at this mess right this is this is me like trying to do that and it's just it's just hard man it it's
[00:17:45] there's just there's too many different motor sizes there's too many different prop sizes we get a motor for 6 months and then it gets discontinued these TOA 155s on here are long gone
[00:17:59] most of the gear that I have is is discontinued right like and so it's just it's just too difficult it's just too difficult to do it tiny whoops are different
[00:18:14] because it's such like a there just aren't too many options but anything bigger than tiny whoop it's just a bit much sorry there's a reason that
[00:18:28] nobody has done it right I thought is is there another I I feel like I oh no that was from last year that was it that was the one that I previously did
[00:18:50] it would be nice but it's just it just won't work but when you guys are doing a build come on by a live tell tell me what you're doing or head over to C
[00:19:04] fpv.one Fiverr you can hire me you can just basically buy my time 40 bucks for a half an hour 60 bucks for an hour and we sit down on a Skype call talk about what the goals are who your
[00:19:18] favorite Pilots are how often you crash what you crash into there's a whole big list of questions so that I can get dialed in on specifically the the perfect motor prop frame battery
[00:19:30] whatever combo for you that's one of the best ways to do it I mean you can certainly come into a live stream and say all up weight is going to be this what motor this is
[00:19:43] the prop size of the frame and I can tell you like what I personally like but if if you fly long range there's not a whole lot of value in that because I don't fly long range and and
[00:19:56] none of my setups are going to be optimized for long range right right so if you have a couple extra bucks and you want to support me the the Fiverr stuff or you don't have to go
[00:20:07] through Fiverr you can just message me and we'll schedule it that's really the best way to get a rig that's like perfect for you and that's why we're custom building this stuff right so that
[00:20:17] we can get the the absolute right runtime power to weight ratio durability all that good stuff and it's hard to do that it took me many many many many years and many many
[00:20:29] thousands of dollars to figure this stuff out because you got to fly a lot to really get a feel for them and then you got to crash them a lot to get get a feel for the durability and so it's
[00:20:43] tough to do it's been a long arduous Road but I want to share that info with as many people as I possibly can so that it wasn't all for not JB spin says for what it's worth the
[00:21:01] Demi bot fits 5.5 inch all day that's cool that's good to know four little pigs says afternoon Denzel the terrible says if it motivates you to take them off I will buy the
[00:21:14] orange one off of you orange ones off of you what I really need to do is get in the I need to find the other two orange ones if I don't do that right now I might remember but I can do it
[00:21:30] right now so the orange ones are clear it's so weird with LEDs LEDs that show up as like yellow like this are actually like a lot of times they're white these ones are green
[00:21:48] though but like the color of the actual LED chips is always very very deceiving see what the hell okay so here they are so apparently that that looks like red to me doesn't that look
[00:22:03] like red to you apparently that's orange but these are the clear ones so I'm going to leave these out and I'll forget what they are so those are the clear ones this
[00:22:24] is completely this is clear but it's un marked maybe I'll try these this one's blue I don't know that one's blue blue and green blue and Green's kind of cool
[00:22:45] right I don't know I also have these ice blue it's it's that like hot boy [@$#%] to Civic blue a bunch of people know exactly what I'm talking about when I say that
[00:23:06] bunch of people don't lucky you these and these are actually different these are T these are tiny LEDs little tiny chips see how much smaller those are I I kind of prefer
[00:23:20] these flywoo ones CU they have twoo much bigger chips LED chips on them but you can't get these anymore and the last couple that I was able to find were in pink and green which are kind of not
[00:23:34] my colors but whatever it's fine I have a couple extras but I didn't use these I wanted to try these tiny LEDs ones there it is there's the other blank backed one so these will be
[00:23:48] the ones that go on I have no idea what color they are I'm going to keep these blue ones I think so there's that which is interesting to me and only me what
[00:24:04] else is happening I don't know H I don't know Zoe says do you have any BetaFPV air 5 in1 aiio on the way I don't I did message BetaFPV about it and they said that they would send one when
[00:24:24] they're available so hopefully one will just magically show up one of these days YouTube did the thing scrolling back up Jay-Z says is 102 14,000 KV on 2S enough power for a 30 35 gram 7 mm I'm
[00:24:45] going to assume that you mean 75mm just enough wait 35 gram no you'll be fine you'll be fine that'll be plenty you're going to run that at 100% for sure but that'll that'll
[00:24:58] be really good Kevin James says hello Matthew oose says what's the easiest way to diagnose which way your Motors are spinning in the BetaFlight wizard I just touch them like I just touch the
[00:25:12] Bell pull the props off and then I'll just touch the bell of the motor if it's a really small tiny whoop motor I'll touch the motor shaft and you can just kind of feel which direction the motor
[00:25:22] shaft is is spinning but that's what I do I used to do like fancy [@$#%] like I would take I would take like my solder like this and I would try to like drop it down and like
[00:25:37] see which direction it dragged but then one day I was like wait a second and it was fine so one of those don't overthink it kind of scenarios so why are
[00:25:56] there three of these out what is what is the meaning of this why are there three of these out here what is happening what was that I missed it God damn it these two are
[00:26:11] yellow hold on which yellow is the clear yellow is the white yellow is the white all right putting those two there I think this is going to end up being all white look how look how
[00:26:28] annoying this is don't do this with props on by the way look how annoying this is ready come on you fart good I did a great job showing you oh my God why is everything so
[00:26:56] difficult why is my brain such a piece of trash There You Go the magic of the short stopper oh my God it's tripping wow it's tripping quick is that
[00:27:20] annoying I wonder why it's tripping could be because I turned the volume up on the ESC beeper and it's beeping loud I don't know I I I I'm dying to kind of test hover to see this to see if
[00:27:37] it Rockets into the ceiling and if all was for nothing but I bet you it's fine I'll bet you that it's fine I got to put this somewhere put it right here all right it's going to stab me every once in a
[00:27:56] while but that's fine Curtis Hayes says hurricane 316 by3 1.5 mm 1804 2450 Motors on my grandino that is the wrong prop that is is a toothpick prop get that propeller off of there
[00:28:19] you've got 1804 big ass Motors 2450 KV is super low though I'm assuming that you're running that out on 6s get those props off of there get get a more pitchy prop on there those propellers are
[00:28:37] they're they're they're that's a toothpick prop get something bigger like the like the hold on let me see Power drone has a great selection of micro propellers and I love the way
[00:28:58] they have them organized so you want like at the very least these GemFan 3020s but they're still too low of a pitch man the 3-in prop selection sucks such ass
[00:29:28] those Motors are big enough for these HQ 3x4 x3s although these are M5 Mount and I think your t- Mount Jesus wow what a terrible propeller selection HQ also makes a 3x3x3 those are fine
[00:29:51] these Avan 3-in props these are pretty good they're a little bit fragile but no more fragile than those 3 16s that you have on there these GemFan Wind Dancer 30 28s will also work
[00:30:05] um wow that's really it on there see if rdq has anything more interesting oh God I hate their new website setup 3 in here we go that's actually that was too bad it was not too bad to
[00:30:30] navigate through there last time I was on here was a mess so here's the HQ 3x3 x3s these are really good they're really well balanced here's the emac a Vans they fly really good they're
[00:30:41] super lightweight but they're just a little on the fragile side this HQ 3x 2.5 by3 if if this is if this is one of the newer one the old 3x 2.5 x3s were not balanced the new ones are so
[00:30:58] hopefully this is the new one this is a good prop there's that Wind Dancer 3028 again here you go here's the GemFan flash 3052 this is a big boy propeller this is what I'm running on this guy this is
[00:31:12] another really good option all of these are going to be way more durable than than what you've got on there right now that's really kind of it though you could try these HQ 76 millimet these
[00:31:27] are more of a c prop but the the outside of the air foil is has a little bit going on it's not just a straight cut so that this could be a good one here I've run these before they're actually
[00:31:38] really good that's a bad it looks like rdq is the is the place to go pyro is sold out of everything those are the ones you want they're going to perform way better
[00:32:03] J monk says what was your rig when you were chasing the RC drift cars I have four but they're all very very similar the WalkSnail build stuck to my arm the WalkSnail
[00:32:23] build is they're all on cockroach V3 frames because we use the little hooks on the front of the well usually the hooks are on the back of the frame but we spin the frame around and use the
[00:32:36] hooks for the Batwing camera mount that Timmons designed which is over on my Discord in the 3D printing text Channel you can it's free and then it's a BetaFPV F4 the cross style
[00:32:54] AO WalkSnail light TRC Singularity on this guy I've got the wee bed 0702 40,000 KV Motors and that's about it GemFan by blades that's about it the the analog ones are pretty much exactly the
[00:33:15] same build but lower KV 72s and then the one of them is a Mobula 6 2024 transplant the other ones are 2g4 the old school HappyModel AIO and then I have different cameras on
[00:33:33] each one I'm kind of playing around with which camera is best fxt camera looks fine bi camera looks fine I want to build a super lightweight one with a RunCam Nano 3 but that would
[00:33:46] require me to actually plug the 3D printer in and get it all set up and learn how to 3D print which is something that's going to take some time and I just haven't been able to find that time
[00:33:56] yet so but super simple builds the the Batwing camera mount is is the magic because it allows you to have no ducts in view but it doesn't have the laundry list of negatives that
[00:34:11] the fractal frame has so the the Batwing camera mount really made these things so much better so much better runtime better power to weight ratio and just like easier to fly so
[00:34:25] that made a big difference tiny shark says recreated your 2S WalkSnail with 102 19800s at 52 grams with Nano wow nanotech that is old school two US 300 MH batteries FES amazing but these
[00:34:45] are some shitty batteries need to get some tiny woop to us nanotech those are old school batteries man back in the day they were the best though they were the best that that we
[00:34:55] had Walter says Alan Watts could could give you a good moment too what YouTube the thing again Jay-Z with a two Australian dollar Super Chat thank you brother he says thank you I
[00:35:09] say thank you to you Matthew arose with a $999 super chat it says for your help now and in the future thank you dude very cool very very cool what's what's our new what's the new gear
[00:35:21] fund going to be what's this one oh right hold on let's let's go back to the we never finished the 533 2007 motor fund I think it was at 30 bucks and those Motors are
[00:35:46] basically 100 they're let's call it 110 I'm pretty sure we were at 30 bucks there so whoa that looks silly hold on there we go oh for [@$#%] sake there it is I can make it a little bigger here
[00:36:07] too there you go those are like the lightest weight 220 it's not a 2007 2207 it isn't it is unbelievable how shitty my brain functions when when the mental illness comes a knocking
[00:36:27] Justin says just jumped in the Stream but sent you an email about the batteries you're selling from yesterday's stream hope all is well with you and everyone here thank you
[00:36:35] dude I will get caught up on my emails probably tomorrow I'll I'll get back to you super 62 says need a frame recommendation for the Ripper 1404 3800 KV Motors
[00:36:48] super 62 I I have nothing to go off of I don't know if you want to build a long range rig a Basher a cinematic rig I don't know what payload you're picking up I don't know how often you
[00:37:02] crash I don't know what you crash into I don't know what your flight style is like these are the things that I do in the one-on-one sessions to really help people dial in and build something
[00:37:11] that's perfect for them if it were me and I had a set of those Motors I would do like a lightweight 3 in which doesn't really exist anymore like we used to have the rip squeak
[00:37:27] frames but they're not really around anymore problem with those Motors is that KV is a little bit low 3,800 KV is is a little low for a 1404 but look for a really
[00:37:41] lightweight 3in if if you're looking for like a freestyle almost Basher kind of thing look for a lightweight 3-in frame you could do you could do the quad Moola F3 siren but it's going to
[00:37:59] be a little heavy if you can find a 3-inch frame lighter than this you'd be better off with that you can't really go down to a 2 and 1 half inch prop because those do not have enough KV for that
[00:38:11] so you've got to be up on 3 in so look for a lightweight 3-in frame is my like shot inth the dark right that's me just closing my eyes and throwing a dart super 62 says no Ry bre says walks
[00:38:25] snail grinder is on geman 3520 Zing 1404 4600s it's 177 gram dry 177 177 I forget what this thing weighs let me compare it to this I think that sounds about
[00:38:47] right so this F3 siren is 170 you're actually pretty light that's pretty light for a grind arino that's a heavy frame it's light because it's on light Motors wait till you see what mine weighs on
[00:39:02] these 1804s once we get these motors soldered up Cisco FPV says if you were going to build a quad Mula gin What size motors would you go with probably a 1404 I'd be looking for like the easy button is
[00:39:18] the t-motor 1404 4600s but I would look around and try to find something up at like 5,000 or even 5,500 or even 6,000 KV I don't think they exist but stuff goes stuff gets discontinued
[00:39:35] and new stuff pops up so often that I I can't keep track and so that's what I would do absolute smallest I would do because that that build ends up being pretty much as heavy as this the smallest
[00:39:50] that I would go would be like a 1304 but you're going to be best off with a with a 1404 if you can find a 1304 at like 5,000 or 5,500 or even 6,000 KV you could pull that off I'm going to
[00:40:05] do a gin build one of these days so blizzard FPV with a 2696 Canadian Californian dollar Super Chat thank you so much brother he says 20 bucks is 20 bucks unless it's Canadian
[00:40:24] then it's 2696 LOL thank you Blizzard Man very cool very very cool blizzard also does a two Canadian California dollar Super Chat he says 1993 plus a two uni what's a two uni and what what how's
[00:40:40] this math working out 1993 what's the I'm confused blizzard I'm confused tag me and tell me what 1993 oh oh oh oh 1993 as in your previous I got it I got it I'm slow
[00:41:03] my brain is very smooth thank you dude very cool of you blizzard thank you for supporting the insanity speaking of C fpv.one link where you can work one-on-one with me I'll help you fly better tune better
[00:41:30] build better and then all these affiliate links replace your bookmarks with affiliate links they don't have to be mine just use someone's use an affiliate link every time you order on
[00:41:37] the internet you'll help somebody make better content and more of it and then that'll help you because you'll have more [@$#%] to watch on YouTube C fv.com Half Baked says are we are all the
[00:41:52] DJI video out apps broken or am I tripping dig view D DV DCA Etc I don't use any of them I use the the smart controller so I have no idea but I wonder if anybody else knows tiny
[00:42:07] shark FPV says by the way can't stop Flying your Ultimate Freestyle tiny woop build already burn through 18 batteries enjoy it dude that that that combination of Parts took me literally years to
[00:42:18] figure out Zoe says a tuni is a $2 Canadian coin ah okay okay got it very cool you wacky Canadians beef FPV says would you still put the 1804s on a grinder Rino with 5 in arms no no no no no no no no
[00:42:37] no no no 1804s are I mean here's here's the easy answer to that Motors that are good for 3 in or 3 and A2 inch are going to be infinitely too small for 5 in if you were going to bit like the
[00:42:52] absolute smallest motor you could possibly run on a 5 in propeller and now this is going to assume that you're using those like super lightweight super low pitch long
[00:43:05] range 5in propellers maybe even like a byblade would be like like you might be able to get away with a 2004 but I don't think so I think you would need to go up to like a
[00:43:18] 2005 or or like a like a 20 sorry like the the FPV cycle pancake motor maybe which is like what 2304 I think but 1804 1804 is not even big enough for 4 in propellers on a 4in propeller a 2004
[00:43:46] is bare minimum to be able to control the prop and give you something that flies half decent so five 5 in every prop size has pretty much a specific like window of Motors that
[00:44:01] are going to be right 5in rigs with like regular 5in builds right carrying like a GoPro session or an DJI action or a GoPro Hero or something is going to be from like 2305 a
[00:44:17] half all the way up to like 2207 2208 and then you just you just kind of you can just kind of bounce it down a little bit 5 inch to 4 in 4 in is going to be like from 2004 up to
[00:44:37] like 2305 and a half you wouldn't need to go that big and then 3 and a half inch is like 1804 1604 kind of Territory 3 in is like 1404 up to 1505 somewhere there the grinder
[00:44:56] in know my grind arino is a little bit different I chose these xnova 18 so I run this on 3inch propellers I don't like the way three and a half inch propellers fly until the all up weight
[00:45:05] is like 350 gram I'm using these motors because they're so durable and that's the point of this build is just to batter the living [@$#%] out of it and so these motors are a
[00:45:21] little bit too big Stater sizewise and the KV is a little bit too low but again the the the ethos behind a lot of Bot Grinders frames is to bash the [@$#%] out of them and these
[00:45:37] motors have been like almost indestructible over the last like four years that I've that I've run them on all kinds of different stuff so demo FPV says 3-in frame suggestion
[00:45:53] grinder Rino tank s other options at the moment it's the quad mola siren F3 either split or nonsplit's doesn't really worry it doesn't really matter as much there aren't a lot of 3-in
[00:46:07] frames out there this this is the one at the moment also the the volador that 3-in volador and then just throw all the heavy ass TPU away that seems to be a good one Zoe says did you get
[00:46:20] a package CHP shot I'm so sorry it's right here it'll go out tomorrow I apologize but it is sitting right here and it's ready to go I'm going to move
[00:46:33] it a little bit I had the the envelope with the with the drill bit and it got buried over here and I just completely forgot about it and then when I was cleaning up yesterday actually
[00:46:44] I came across it and felt like a jerk so I'll get it out for you I wanted to get it out today but I I I today has not been a great day strier says I think the FPV cycle 16006
[00:46:57] is the peak 3 and half inch motor I'm decided to try it when I get it I'm worried about those being incredibly notchy so I don't know about those but it's a it's a really
[00:47:10] interesting Stater size that's a stater size that could probably run all the way up to like a 4 in prop let's see actually so if we do 16006 and then we do like
[00:47:30] 2004 oh wow it's still not as big as a 2004 maybe not but it's does have the benefit of the 6 mm tall Stater versus The 4mm Tall Stater so it might actually be okay
[00:47:44] but the the naess of that motor really scares the hell out of me but it's a super interesting motor that's for sure denilla says 3.5 is better than three dot dot dot fight me
[00:47:57] if you can make a 3 and 1 half in build heavy enough it's not better it's just different it's just going to be closer to it's going to it's going to carry more speed and it's going to
[00:48:10] have more more throw so it's going to be pretty different but like a three and a half inch rig below three 300 gram I don't like it at all it's just it's like a toothpick
[00:48:26] like it's just has very little momentum sure it's efficient as hell and it's got mega power but that like so are toothpicks if you want more of 5 inch kind of flight experience
[00:48:42] where it's kind of more balanced in terms of being able to throw it over stuff and I don't know just the the a 5- in rig carrying a session it's just such a
[00:48:57] a cool balanced flight characteristic of like when you zero out the throttle it's got enough momentum to kind of do all kinds of really fun stuff and so you get like this really
[00:49:12] three-dimensional sort of feeling from it where you can be inverted you can be right side up and it and it and it'll just carry its weight over stuff and it and it just kind of like shrinks the
[00:49:24] world and I'm always chasing that I'm always chasing that sort of flight experience with everything else that I build and one of the most exciting things is when I was able to
[00:49:37] get the tiny whoop somewhat close to that to where like inside the house right like I can put the tiny whoop over there by the the dive tunnel and then bring it out Go full throttle and hurl
[00:49:49] the [@$#%] thing all the way across the room right like that's like that's it right for like this room and this is a I mean not a big big room but like this is a normal sized room I
[00:50:01] think that's kind of perfect right like being able to be off throttle for the majority of the room like you got to really throw it into that right like like I'm on the ground and then I'm
[00:50:13] going Full Throttle as long as I possibly can scraping the ceiling right so I'm really I'm Min maxing what I can do but that's kind of perfect right like if you're going to minmax like that
[00:50:24] motion that like Full Throttle throw MO if it will then cover the entire room like that's sort of perfect that means like you don't need any more you don't need any less right like that's that's
[00:50:35] kind of right in the window and so it's magic the right ratio of prop size to all up weight is an incredibly difficult thing to nail down and it's kind of different for everybody right
[00:50:53] like my first couple years in FPV flying lots and lots and lots of basically toothpicks my ideal power to weight ratio was completely different as I flew more and sort of
[00:51:08] matured as a pilot and got better that changed drastically and then like the first time I flew a 5-in rig at like I think the first one I ever built was like 590 something grams it was like
[00:51:22] oh got it and it and it opened up like like they they're harder to fly like one of the cool things about toothpicks is they're kind of easy to fly because they don't have all that momentum and throw
[00:51:36] so you can't do a lot of the really hard really sketchy [@$#%] right you can't throw it over that 60 foot tall tree it just won't do it so you just fly it over that tree and that's fun and then
[00:51:48] it's got the the propellers are so big and the weight's so low that like you turn it and it pretty much turns like not quite as good as a whoop but so it they end up being like very
[00:51:58] accurate they don't have that momentum when you turn that you have to kind of deal with and so there's that we got that Denzel the terrible says you should make a prop siiz motor siiz
[00:52:20] infographic I I wish there was an easy way to do it I I I wish there was an easy way to kind of boil it all down to put it into an infographic but it's just it's really it's so hard
[00:52:32] Zoe says don't apologize for not getting out I know exactly the feeling of mental health struggles it's no joke to deal with mentally thank you in jury time and castle crash I will I hope
[00:52:43] for the record events you guys will get to see me at Peak anxiety level if you come to castle crash and I I I I do much better overloaded with anxiety versus overloaded with
[00:53:03] depression as does everybody I think but for the record I will be mind blowingly anxious and it has nothing to do with any of you you can't help me it's just sort of the way it
[00:53:16] is but if if I seem different at castle crash that's all it is it's not you I'm not mad at anyone or what I mean like so ster says danzel
[00:53:31] especially for carrying a 35 to 40 gram action cam like the go3 you end up right at 300 to 320 with 3.5 I like it much more than 3 in I I've I've got to carry the
[00:53:46] insta 360 go2 this rip squeak build is really good this is actually also on the TOA 155s but the insta 360 go2 is only 26 grams so up over 30 grams three and a half inch rig might make sense I
[00:54:05] mean there's no right or wrong answers like if you want more float more power less off throttle momentum and more efficiency three and a half is going to do that so it's it's
[00:54:19] it's all about dialing and dialing it in specifically for for what what you're looking for ster says what do you think about 1506 is it too tall does it get hot like 1507 it's getting close
[00:54:33] to 1507 so it's going to start to get kind of warm 6 12 18 and it's only 15 right so it's like 2 and a half to one width to height ratio so you're you're getting
[00:54:49] Into the Danger Zone but depending on how you fly you might be totally fine strer also says I think power to weight ratio is subjective with a certain range 5 in rigs at 580 to 780 anywhere in
[00:55:03] that range is personal preference to what you like more throw the heavier you go it's one of the reasons I always recommend you get Motors that are a higher KV than you need because then
[00:55:13] you can turn it up you can turn it down you can dial it exactly in to where you want it wther says please stop your excuses it builds you never it will never stop my excuses danzel the
[00:55:23] terrible says 247 gam 3.5 with 03 and no action cam flies like a dream I respectfully disagree with C FV every has their own likes and styles it's all cool there's nothing there's nothing
[00:55:37] to disagree with or or agree with it's 100% personal preference so there's it's all about what that's one of the reasons that I do I've chosen to do live
[00:55:53] streams is so that we can have these discussions so I can tell you guys here's the differences pick your own and it's why I tend to not answer questions of what's the
[00:56:05] best motor for a 3-in rig because I my idea of the best motor is going to be totally different than every single other human on earth not every other but some of them so let's get the grinder
[00:56:22] Rino back on its little grinder feto I apologize that was gross okay pull the chat over here so I can see what's happening all right so the arm LEDs are already on
[00:56:52] here got foam feet on the front but not on the back that's awkward there we go okay so demo FPV says will you be streaming next Monday on Labor Day I won't I will still be well I might I
[00:57:25] might be home in time no Friday stream no Sunday stream because I'll be at castle crash I have the hotel room booked for Sunday night and
[00:57:36] there's I'm not really sure what's going on on Monday but I'm going to be there and I I I don't I don't know I don't know if I'll be home in time
[00:57:49] but I should be I I can't imagine that I won't get home it's only like three hours for me I have a feeling I'll it'll be fine and I'll be streaming that night I I if I'm not streaming it has nothing to do
[00:58:03] with Labor Day and everything to do with me still being at the at the event or or whatever a 15 hour long traffic jam on the way home or some [@$#%] like
[00:58:17] that this is Atlanta after all so should be a stream all right so here's the something that's kind of weird about these xnova Motors is that the the motor shaft and the C clip don't protrude out the
[00:58:40] bottom so you can't do that little trick that I usually do where you put the motor down on the arm and the and it sort of like locks in with the with the hole in the arm so I
[00:58:51] just I need to actually like screw this down so we'll do that real quick throw two screws using this motor and then I can get the the wire length perfect so and I'm GNA have to do this on both
[00:59:11] Motors all right so any two screws because it is going to come right back off but I just want to get it in the exact right spot there we go and so we lay these wires out like
[00:59:25] this we give the wires a little bit extra and then come on man get off okay and then I'm going to cut this up here all right and you only really need to cut one CU you're just sort of
[00:59:52] marking the length and then you can pop it off probably do do it all with the motor still on there but we're cutting these motor wires really short and it's just kind of a pain in the ass so this is
[01:00:08] going to be motor number four front left so we cut that one we're going to take these guys and come on you jerk there we go hold these guys nice and straight and cut the other
[01:00:32] two and then we're going to strip them these motor wires that exnova uses are really skinny everybody else uses significantly thicker motor wires but I don't know maybe xnova has it right and everybody
[01:00:49] else has it wrong the pads are pretty big on these arm LEDs so I'm going to strip the appropriate amount off I am using my fingernails again because they're no longer hurting from
[01:01:03] doing a full set of motors and a full set of race wire LEDs on the siren F3 right these two rigs will be really fun to fly there nice lowish the the the lowest digital latency possible with still good
[01:01:29] video quality from WalkSnail will be great and then 1080 60 being recorded on board will be awesome as always right so let's get this guy going here we got it stripped I forgot
[01:01:48] to turn on the soldering iron that's super annoying while I'm waiting for that to power up let's grab the other motor and put it on the rear arm get it all measured
[01:02:05] up all right there and there okay come on get in there oh there it goes all right and this guy on here just push the wires down just to create an extra little bit of
[01:02:42] slack and then when you cut these just cut them a little bit too far down the length of the wire just to give yourself a little bit extra got that this thing was a blast to fly at
[01:02:59] Rampage I think that might have been the first time I put it up in the air it was a little bit down on power just because the KV is kind of low on these but one of the motors was also kind
[01:03:07] of banged up so I don't know it's might have had to do with that I'm hoping that it's got a little bit more power but even if it doesn't less power in some cases like you get
[01:03:22] a lot of extra throttle resolution from low power build and if you get used to them you can still do lots of fun [@$#%] and if this is going to be like a Basher like I don't
[01:03:32] need to be throwing it over Big Trees right so it shouldn't really matter all that much that's not true it'll it'll matter but like I'll be able to get used to I don't know I don't know what the hell
[01:03:45] I'm saying lower power to weight ratio rigs are fine is what I'm trying to say the pro the the main problem that I have with them is like if you're used to a certain power to weight ratio when you
[01:04:04] go to fly that rig it's going to be a pretty big adjustment which can get kind of tough that that makes your job harder as a pilot and so you got to kind of be
[01:04:17] careful with that but again again like for a Basher the the lower power thing might actually be good cuz if you're going to be flying it in like bashy kind of spots those tend to be sort of
[01:04:39] technical and there tends to be like a lot of stuff going on all right I got to keep these Motors straight because they're specific they've been specifically cut down for each arm so
[01:04:51] motor 4 is on my left motor 3 is on my right come to think of it there were actually two Motors that were jacked up on this rig one of them I completely killed on a metal beam but they were like on
[01:05:07] their way out both of them so hopefully with these two replacement motors this thing will fly a little bit better have a little bit more power basically J monk says I have a DJI V2
[01:05:21] goggles there a way to view the flight Sims through my goggles maybe is there is there an hdmi in on the goggles that's really what you would need you would need HDMI out on your
[01:05:37] computer and then you would need HDMI in on the goggles I now that I think about it I don't think there is I don't think there's HDM I don't think there's going to be a way to do that but maybe
[01:05:47] somebody in chat will know better than me fair warning it's probably going to make you moem motion sick that's the feedback that I've gotten from people that have tried to use their
[01:05:58] goggles and Sims all right so I'm just going to Tin these up real quick hold on and when you're tinning wires you want the soldering iron to be on one side of the wire and then you're trying to push
[01:06:18] the fresh solder from the other side of the wire what you're trying to do is get solder in between the strands that way it'll hold enough solder so that when you go to
[01:06:32] solder that wire up to the pad you don't have to add any extra there's enough wire already on the pad and already inside the wire and you get a really nice solder joint a really
[01:06:44] strong really clean solder joint come on pick up this little bit of solder here drop it off over there all right we are tinned motor four motor three all right motor
[01:07:17] three motor four I'm gonna and I'm just G to start wearing the [@$#%] nerd goggles for everything that I do it just makes everything so much easier not just tiny [@$#%]
[01:07:33] stuff you can just see what you're doing which like is great it's really nice to see what you're doing imagine going to work with like a [@$#%] blindfold on like how good of a
[01:07:50] job would you be able to do some jobs you'd be able to do fine but what I'm saying all right we're going to go Center wire first I've been doing this a lot
[01:08:01] more going in the middle first but I'm going to get a little bit of flux going here that's way too much all right a little bit too much but it's fine the world's most beautiful solder
[01:08:38] joint got to come down at kind of like a steep angle to prevent from hitting the flux on the other wires okay I can't quite get it sometimes I can just kind of move the wires Around
[01:09:06] Just Enough by holding on to the motor but problem with that is when you're letting the solder cool a lot of times you can't hold the wire perfectly steady and that's no good
[01:09:18] that's how you create cold solder joints so do it the right way grab your tweezers get a better quality joint the reason why I don't talk sometimes when I'm doing this is I'm
[01:09:43] holding my breath because we are using leaded solder and it's fine we don't we don't work on this stuff all day every day in a factory so we're not getting enough exposure to really make a
[01:09:57] difference but still it's not you don't there's no reason to just inhale this [@$#%] sometimes I'm also trying to stay still which is important but a lot of
[01:10:16] times it's just because I do this and then the the flux fumes just blow directly up into my mouth okay all right no big deal I did a [@$#%] job with that one hold on let me fix it
[01:11:00] much better all right that's it now they're probably well I was about to say they're probably not going to be spinning the right direction but they should be fine because I took the
[01:11:16] same Motors off they should actually be fine so I might not need to do anything in betaf flate but I'm certainly not gonna test over this thing inside the house
[01:11:27] that's a Death Wish so I'll put this up in the air tomorrow I'm going to try to get my ass up well actually tomorrow is going to be a [@$#%] nightmare I got to get up
[01:11:43] at like 5: to get aelia woken up and on the bus and then I should be able to go back to sleep for a little bit but then I actually have therapy at noon which is like an hour
[01:11:58] away so tomorrow's going to kind of suck but whatever it'll be fine I shall live jbo says I Now understand the pain of direct solder Motors my maio 6 is constantly snap snapping them charge
[01:12:18] six batteries went to fly and two Motors had broken wires after working fine in the last flight you got to be like incredibly careful with how you handle the rig like your fingers can
[01:12:31] push on those 30 gauge wires from just like holding the thing to kind of do that so adjust the way that you hold the the tiny whoop and it'll help that a little bit because a lot
[01:12:48] of times like once you're on Direct soldered Motors you kind of can't go back to plugs so that that might help a little bit but man that's the experience that I've had with direct soldered
[01:13:04] Motors is that they just break those wires left and right I've had a much better time with with plug Motors as you all know and are probably sick of hearing me say by
[01:13:23] now all right just throw in a couple screws in here I guess we might as well throw this into BetaFlight see if these motors are spinning the right direction why
[01:13:32] not and I'm actually using four screws on these which like I never do but again Basher I want this thing to be as durable as possible and also like I I I want to
[01:13:49] test the [@$#%] out of this Frame right like this Frame was built to be super beefy and so let's let's really hammer it and see what happens it's always nice to have builds that are are
[01:14:01] durable enough where you can like really fly them hard it's nice all right I cut these wires a little bit too long this is kind of ugly I'm going to pop this arm led up and
[01:14:19] move it forward just a little bit I hate to do this but you I cut these leads too long for sure all right so just a little bit that's better and hopefully that VHB is
[01:14:35] still sticky enough there we go Grinder's back on its little fetuses cool let's throw this into I got to get a better better antenna mount set up for this I mean this is kind of fine
[01:14:58] these little zip ties are kind of okay they're doing what they need to do couple things about this riger Jank but not not too bad not like Ultra Jank just like I'm a goddamn perfectionist that
[01:15:22] can't stop with builds Jank I'm not going to keep these little wires these little extra xnova wires can go to hell they're very thin I don't like them wish they were a little bit
[01:15:37] bigger don't we all all right let's see just out of curiosity let's see what direction these motors are spinning and let's make sure they spin
[01:15:51] up all right connect let's throw a battery on here that's a good sign Motors M Direction well hold on before I go into there that might have that might have just wiped out the the setup but let's
[01:16:14] see props out props out what the [@$#%] is that noise props out and props out we're fine what the hell motor is making that noise I thought that was one of I thought that was the motor that I
[01:16:24] removed is it is it one oh God that's not good I'm going to run into the ground though I don't care can you tell which ones are the new Motors wow motor one
[01:16:48] is it's actually a little bit better now these these motors one and two on this rig have seen some [@$#%] they have seen some [@$#%] but the other two Motors were
[01:17:13] like ridiculously bad all right man this thing is this thing's good to go I'll fly a little bit out front tomorrow see what's what try not to kill anyone although I'll be
[01:17:25] doing it during the day nobody will be home and it'll be cool I'll be able to kind of compare this a little bit to the so the siren F3 that'll be fun front screw out front screw M
[01:17:41] there we go cool grino is back where are there they are and so the props that I run on this thing R t-motor 3140 it's actually a discontinued propeller but I
[01:18:07] bought a bunch of them before they went away forever and these are kind of like my favorite propellers of all time 3140 right so 40 it's a very pitchy prop it's M5 nut only it's a
[01:18:26] big strong bastard is is what I really love about this propeller in here between the Hub and the blade is super strong and this is typically where like most micro propellers suck and they they
[01:18:39] just fold like a cheap suit right up in here but this is a very very strong propeller and so paired with a Basher rig It's Kind of Perfect
[01:18:54] so they don't make nearly as much power as 3 and 1/2 in propellers do but they are way stronger way way way way way stronger and that's what this rig is about being
[01:19:17] Strunk so they used to make them in smoke crotch gray and red but unfortunately the only ones that I could find after they'd been discontinued were these blue ones which
[01:19:32] kind of look like [@$#%] but whatever it's fine so that's a high right we got another high right where are all the high lefts where you at high lefts high lefts where are you you're on the other
[01:19:51] side of the bag as well you should be left and left come on come on get there we go let me get the chat over here and we'll get caught up Cole power says there's there's a
[01:20:19] way to do it on WT fos it streams h26 64 at 120 I think was that in reference to is that in reference to using DJI goggles for the Sim if so very
[01:20:41] cool oh there's a little dog down here little dog did awesome at the dog park yesterday he was being a good dude he would he was he would bring his he would bring so he's obsessed with
[01:20:59] round things that are roughly the size of he's obsessed with tennis ball siiz things and when we go to the dog park there's like tennis balls everywhere and he was he was he would chase the
[01:21:16] tennis ball down he'd loses his mind but then he would bring the tennis ball to other dogs and to other people and drop it down in front of them and it was it was absolutely
[01:21:27] adorable the funniest thing was was him bringing it to other dogs as if they're going to throw it for him but he was really really good he was really really really good at the dog
[01:21:38] park this is the first time like we this is the only only the second time we've had him to a dog park it was the first time there was more than one other dog there and that the first time that we
[01:21:48] went to the dog park it was another schneer it was another mini schneer this time there were like five other dogs there and he was just so good man he he's just a good dog sometimes
[01:22:02] he's very annoying sometimes and when he doesn't get his way like he really let about it but man he's just a good dude I brought the the long line and
[01:22:18] his choke collar in in case he was going to be a pain in the ass actually Maggie grabbed the long line but he was good he was totally fine I I still do need to get his little
[01:22:30] ass out in the front yard and just teach him to come and just simple stuff teach him that basically associate no with a little bit of pain he's never had that Association so
[01:22:48] but it's been just mind-numbingly hot and the mosquitoes here are absolutely ridiculous so my motivation to do that is very low but as the weather gets better here I'm going to be
[01:23:05] I'm going to be doing that to get him trained up a little bit I hope he doesn't I don't know I know like the dog trainers say it's good like they need to respect you but like I
[01:23:16] don't know I hope he doesn't like not love me after it cuz you have to [@$#%] hurt him to associate pain with the word no but if it does it's is what it is it's important because
[01:23:31] like if if if we let him if we open the front door and we're not looking he'll run out and he'll just go he will just go all the way down the End of the Street towards the highway and you
[01:23:43] know that's an absolute Nightmare Man getting these getting these prop nuts down in these motors is sometimes a pain in the ass it's only when the prop nuts are fresh when the Nylock is fresh once
[01:23:58] the once these prop nuts have been put on and off a couple times it's completely fine but like the first this is the fresh set of prop nuts that I'm putting on
[01:24:09] right now and the Nylock like really grabs the the the motors the M5 motor shaft ah God damn all right that should be fine there it is wait till you see how heavy this thing
[01:24:33] is got the prop nuts and the motors on let's take a look grind arino with xnova 1804s and WalkSnail oh God 205 gram it's so fat with a 4S 700 which is not the battery that I run on
[01:24:59] this oh boy it's 292 gram 292 on a 3-in propeller so grind arino 205 F3 170 man what a difference what a difference but I mean look at them like the the grind arino is way bigger I
[01:25:25] guess not way bigger but it's quite a bit bigger I mean it's a 3 and a half inch frame right this is a 3-inch frame versus a three and a half inch frame the quad mola I mean it
[01:25:41] it's a big as far as like the center sections wow the quad MO is actually longer in for in the center sections right so if I if I line up front here if I line up the front of the
[01:25:58] frames you look at the back of the frames the quad mola is actually a bit longer you got to ignore these ignore these TPU pieces the quad Mulla ends here it looks like it's
[01:26:11] about a half an inch longer the the quad Milla frame I think that's because they add a little bit here in the in the center standoff behind this in between the stack
[01:26:24] for the for the capacitor on the quad mola frame the the 20x 20 stack and the WalkSnail VTX are much closer together than on this guy it's interesting to see that
[01:26:42] difference play out there front end of the frames are pretty similar if you like line up the the frontmost standoffs the front ends of the frames are very very similar
[01:27:01] um interesting two totally different sort of like design philosophies accomplishing the exact same thing we'll see I I'll be super interested to see how the the quad Milla holds
[01:27:22] up Ry bre says is a ts101 too small to be my main soldering iron if so do you have a brand recommendation it's not the the ts's a lot of people use the TS 100s as their main
[01:27:38] soldering iron it's a great soldering iron I it for me I have big long fingers and it's a little small for me I would not want it as like my main there's a say
[01:27:56] hacko where is it hacko fx888d this is like the the best value this is an absolute no-brainer wow that's I thought it used to be 80s bucks my
[01:28:29] iron is a Weller 1010 which is actually cheaper what the hell this hacko used to be a lot less than this I I don't know what I don't know why this is so expensive now I
[01:28:45] went with this Weller 1010 which was more expensive because this is very similar to my dad's soldering iron and I have a lot of memories growing up of what it's funny the the main memory that
[01:29:05] I have of growing up in terms of my dad's soldering iron is this ready that sound that is the sound that the Weller soldering iron makes when you put it into the little into the little stand
[01:29:23] it's probably very similar to the hacko Andor any other soldering iron that has this type of a stand but like there's just there's nostalgia in the Weller 1010 for me it's a great
[01:29:37] soldering iron there's absolutely nothing wrong with it the the Weller probably does something better but I'm sorry the the hacko probably does something better but
[01:29:50] there's not a single thing wrong with the with the Weller t it's been great to me for probably about a year and a half now maybe there's not maybe the hecko doesn't do anything better I don't
[01:30:05] know do you like blue and do you like blue and yellow or do you like light blue better they're they're both good 120 volts 70 watts is there a difference there nope 120 volts 70
[01:30:21] Watts you be fine with either one they're two of the most popular soldering irons if you spend like roughly $100 on a soldering iron you'll have something that's awesome and
[01:30:33] and you'll never need to replace it and you'll get something with like a proper little stand and the handle is going to be a little bit bigger and you it's not going to be like
[01:30:44] hooked up to an XT60 or any weirdness so kind of can't go wrong with either one but all that being said the ts100 if you can get a cool stand for it's a
[01:30:59] great it'll it'll do the job everybody's good as the Weller or the hako and then you can throw it in your bag and bring it with you strer says I breathed that [@$#%] in for several years
[01:31:11] growing up learning how to solder for Nerf modding and some other Hobbies have better habits now I can only hope it doesn't going to harm any long term now all the all the data says that like you
[01:31:21] have to work in a factory eight hours a day and huff soldering fumes for that amount of time to actually have anything bad come out of it parkour guy says I just picked up the xn noas
[01:31:33] from my grand arino what props do you recommend I got the GemFan props that are 3.5 forget the number off hand you you basically want the most pitchy props that you can find I just
[01:31:44] talked about the t-motor 314s you just want all the pitch the the xn noas at 3500 KV are low is a low KV so and the other thing is that the grinder Ino frame and those
[01:32:00] xnova Motors are strong as hell the more pitchy the propeller the stronger the propeller so gemin 3052 if you can find these 30 t-motor 314s and then in the 3 and 1 half
[01:32:14] inch world I haven't looked at three and a half inch props in a while three to three and a half and let's do that wow pyro J's propeller selection is just worthless
[01:32:35] what the hell happened they used to have they used to be my go-to for props these GemFan 35 25s are fine come on so skip these 352s there there's a more pitchy version these 30 363s these
[01:33:04] should clear these are good 30 pitch HQ 3.5 by 2.5 these are probably okay a little bit lower pitch than these guys here these GemFan 36 no these won't work on that these will
[01:33:23] not clear that motor I think the get a set of these but only get one set I don't think these will clear the motor Bell you'll see what I mean buy one set
[01:33:34] though Jesus Christ everything is sold out everywhere what the hell you're going to have to you're going to have to search around look for the lowest I would go with is like 25
[01:33:56] look for something that's more pitch than than 25 and look for something where the end of the the end of the propeller blade has like some kind of tapering propellers that just have a
[01:34:11] straight straight end of the blade area here are cop propellers right and this will this will not manage the tip vortices all that well and it'll be kind of an inefficient prop
[01:34:23] propeller it'll make good power but it'll be a little inefficient it'll be more than a little inefficient hold on I'm going to tell you if those 36s work I just realized that I did buy a set of
[01:34:34] those a while back here they are nope these aren't them maybe I didn't I thought that I did could have sworn that I did but you're looking for pitch nope I don't have them what the
[01:35:07] hell well I try there should be I'm pretty sure there's a GemFan 3525 isn't there yep there it is I knew it these are good don't get the GemFan 352s get the 35
[01:35:47] 25s that'll take advantage of those Motors a little bit more there you go shot by category propellers I hate that get FPV has that set up there it's super annoying prop
[01:36:07] length 3.5 wow there's only three these HQ 3.5x 2.5S are t-mount only they won't work everything's out of stock oops hold on try this mini quad propellers length there we go
[01:36:32] there's some more options what do you got get FPV 35 here you go there's 35 25s that's going to be the other problem is is t-mount versus M5 Mount I I don't think you mentioned which they
[01:36:48] make the xn noas in in either variety not have [@$#%] either look at this are you kidding me man everything's out of stock all the time all right
[01:37:07] Striker says is it is it a bad take that quads look better with action cams nope Dave S says how are the 702 tiny whoop onesie Motors looking at the 26,000 KV for a cockro 65mm build
[01:37:22] couldn't find a live of you talking about about to much 26,000 KV is too low davs do yourself a favor and get at least 30,000 if not 32,500 KV if it's too much RPM you can motor limit it
[01:37:35] down with practically no ill effects so wee bed FPV has the 702 32,500 tiny whoop has 30,000 32,000 and 36,000 don't go below 30,000 though justo says a 3-in cop carry a GoPro
[01:37:56] 11 mini my 3-in cop carries a full-size GoPro Hero so a mini would be easy easy game shreer says I think I'm going to need to give 2.5 on 1204 a try depends on do you think I'll
[01:38:14] have enough push grass out of the way Turtle moting it will just barely but it will I would go 1304 though for 2 and a half if not I'll think to stick to three and three and a half wer says did he
[01:38:29] tell other dogs while knocking Al machine our Teddy is that a Germany joke tiny shark says would the beta there it is would the BetaFPV 2S 450 MH really be too heavy for the 75mm
[01:38:49] walk snow bu it feels like [@$#%] with that battery I think if I order batteries from Tiny [@$#%] might take a month or even more I couldn't believe the difference the until I
[01:38:58] weighed the two batteries the the BetaFPV 2S 450 it's a heavy battery and then the tiny whoop 2S 300 is a light battery like like the the the tiny whoop 2S 300 is lighter than any other 2s
[01:39:14] 300 the BetaFPV 2S 450 is like heavier than any other 2 s450 it's ridiculous the the difference is is outrageous the the 2S 450 it's ends up flying like a cine whoop or like a long range
[01:39:28] rig but the the tiny whoop 2S 300s are insane Ry bre says my dad's got a well or two and you convinced me LOL you'll dig it man it's a great iron what's up Kevin Sumer how the hell
[01:39:43] are you Striker says maybe the HQ 35 28s I don't think those are M5 Mount though I think those are t-mount only Brandon says my favorite three and half inch prop is the HQ 3.5x 2.5 by3 I like
[01:39:57] those two and the winter I Ed the 3.5x 2.3 for Less sag in the cold those are good if you've got Motors that are team out parkour guy says I ordered the
[01:40:08] 3520 they'll be all right they'll work and then the next time you do an order get some of the more more pitchy ones tiny shark says would 1404 3500 with Avan props be enough for a
[01:40:19] 2 and half inch 03 freestyle no the that KV is going to be way too low for 2 and 1/2 in for a 2 and 1/2 in rig you're you need like 4500 KV bare minimum you really want five 5,000
[01:40:34] 5,500 maybe even 6,000 3500 KV is barely enough for 3 in props and then you've got an 03 on there so that thing is going to be a fat fatty fat fat fatty fat fat so that would be a very
[01:40:49] underpowered rig with that setup trigger says the 35 28s are M5 Mount 35 28s which ones are those 3528 is an emac they used to be no that's the 4 in they used to make
[01:41:13] a 35 emac used to make a 3528 that was M5 mount it was convertible M5 to t-mount but they no longer do so no these are t-mount only unfortunately great propellers but t-mount only
[01:41:27] they don't work on a lot of Motors though because the blades of the propellers drop really low below the Hub and so there aren't many Motors that those emac props will work on
[01:41:36] unfortunately Kevin suer says 15 minutes until the scheduled end of the stream you all prep for cow of Crash grind together bit flight setup have you done anything in the title I put the
[01:41:46] new Motors on the grind arino and what else are we going to do so I fixed the grind arino BetaFlight setups I haven't done any of that yet coming next let me get caught
[01:41:57] up on chat I haven't I haven't done much i' I've had a rough last four or five days but hopefully I'll I'm clawing my way out HQ 3.5x 2.8 oh no [@$#%] h they're finally making
[01:42:24] an M5 version good for you took you [@$#%] long enough HQ Jesus there you go this is the one this is the one they've always made is the team out one cool fair warning this is probably
[01:42:43] going to be kind of fragile don't quote me on that because I have not held a set in my hands but the the HQ props that look like this are typically [@$#%] sorry guys the HQ props
[01:42:57] that look like this are typically kind of fragile but definitely get these because there aren't many of these M5 Mount three and a halfs all right BetaFlight setup
[01:43:10] stuff Spectre hdlc Spectre AIO let's get this set the rest of the way up I think I set it most of the way up but there was something that I forgot to do [@$#%] what was it that I forgot to do
[01:43:33] with this I went to go fly it yesterday at the dog park and it wasn't working but I don't remember why H why that's just BT 2.0 feels really loose all right let's see
[01:44:03] here these batteries should be good right there there's one two three four all right cool hglrc Spectre what did I forget what did I forget what did I forget what did I forget what did I forget what did
[01:44:22] I forget or maybe I haven't done anything yet I plugged the motors in that's a good sign that usually means that I spun the motors up in the murders tab in the murderous
[01:44:37] tab let's see come on BetaFlight Don't Be a Jerk BetaFlight don't be a dick man oh you jackass I have a sneaking suspicion that I didn't do
[01:45:03] anything because it's showing that it's on BetaFlight 4.4.2 let's come in here and type status into the CLI to see what gyro this is on so this is on ICM gyro okay so that
[01:45:22] might be why I didn't update it the ICM Gyros are okay they're not great but they're all right if it was on a BMI 270 oh look at me I did do some stuff if it was on a BMI 270 I would put
[01:45:40] it on the BetaFlight 4.5 but it's not so all right this looks good I did do stuff look at me I did a bunch of stuff all right good this is looking
[01:46:01] good that's looking good put my rates in filtering is dialed in a little bit receiver aetr that ain't going to work I guess I didn't bind it so there's no bind button so let's
[01:46:20] try giving it power three times and see if it'll put this H I don't know anything about this hdlc Spectre AO let's see one two three are there any LEDs that are double flashing that one is nope now it's
[01:46:51] not hm BR Bean says BetaFlight 4.5 would have a bind button there I might update it just for that I think it's this green flashing light on the bottom but for some reason it's not doing the double
[01:47:08] flash thing let me try one more time power power power I'll try to do it four times blank blink blink so that is probably the the receiver light and it's blinking like
[01:47:33] this which is not a great sign why won't it go into bind mode is there a button on it why anyone puts elrs on and doesn't have the three plugin binding procedure I will never
[01:47:59] know let's try this since it's a brand new board maybe just feeding it power we'll put it into bind mode and now let me fire the transmitter up I'm assuming that it's new enough that it's
[01:48:12] using elrs 3.0 so I'm going to put that module in here and all right let's go into bind mode and see what's up come on come on all right pressing to send binding request no it's not going to
[01:48:35] bind it might be on 2.5 I doubt it Els is not forever a mystery just for me I have heard plenty of people bitching about Express lrs it is definitely not just me
[01:48:54] I just hang out with people that are goddamn Geniuses and can figure [@$#%] out better than I can look at that there's a boot Button I wonder if the boot Button puts it in the bind mode Let's try
[01:49:31] no it does not HD lrc spec bind [Laughter] that's funny great way to go hglrc no info on how to bind it's doesn't look like comes with blue jay that's great maybe it's a maybe it's in a
[01:50:24] picture no wow you I take it as a as a as a personal attack to sell something and have no information whatsoever about how to make the goddamn thing work selling something
[01:50:49] in a DIY space and then giving no info what whatsoever about how to get it to bind makes me want to vomit like what is wrong with you this isn't even the same one Jesus
[01:51:06] God damn it these are all missing the word bind God damn it so you're going to stand there and tell me that you don't have any whistling bung holes any Husker dos no
[01:51:42] Husker don'ts Justin says it's SPI not you are binding the receiver tab there is no bind button in the receiver tab unfortunately so let's try the CLI forget the command is it BND D
[01:52:04] no uh [@$#%] but this isn't on 4.5 this came with 4.4 and there's really no reason to update there's nothing really all that interesting between 44 and 45 wow so you ship out an
[01:52:33] AO with with no way of binding it other than a binding phrase that is the dumb that is the big dumb that is the biggest dumb of all the dumbs no just snakes and
[01:52:55] sparklers nice 16 bit bore RX is that it ah I thought it was bind uncore RX right didn't work BND Dore RX oh my god oh pay to flight you dirty rat bastards I guess I have to update
[01:53:47] it Hammer is next off exis all right hold on let me unplug it's getting very hot all right okay I just hyperventilated hold on just take a
[01:54:37] minute all right guess I'm updating it I guess I'm updating it yes create backup for the love of God create a backup please whenever you're ready there it is all right here we go
[01:55:27] erasing hold on let me call back up on chat tiny shark says what if I went up to a 1505 1505 is actually going to be too big for a 2 and a half inch propeller you won't be able to find a 1505 motor
[01:55:48] with a high enough KV and it's just too big of a motor the the biggest motor I would go on a 2 and2 in prop is going to be a 1404 so 1505 is a 3 in or three
[01:56:01] and a half inch propeller okay let's come in here and let's load the backup and see how much red text we get hopefully none come on no red text look at that
[01:56:27] awesome okay TBS smart audio oh apparently it's not serial because look this is not checked well hold on let's do this let's get it bound and see what happens all right so who whoever in chat
[01:56:52] said that it's not yells 3.0 it looks like you're right let's try 2.5 come on there it goes I think it might have just bound nope here we go here we [@$#%]
[01:57:30] go great this is going well this is just awesome our NE our our new AO features bindless operation it's going to catch on fire anyway so why would we bother putting a binding procedure in there that
[01:57:54] works will just save you the trouble and you won't be able to bind it and then you can throw it away before it's caught on fire and potentially ruined a flight controller frame or the
[01:58:09] Cameron canopy hglrc oh what no of course not all right well this is going well let me try turning on the seral over there on Ur 2 I think it was let's try that
[01:58:49] out so ur1 is tied up by TBS smart audio so in theory serial RX is on ur2 Save and reboot and now packet rate's fine it's on 250 receiver find
[01:59:11] receiver let's see Bing claims usually when it takes a long time it's not a good sign all right great staying calm staying very calm trying to bind Els 3.0
[01:59:53] nope that ain't G to work I can already tell nope okay [@$#%] you too Spectre I'll just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again that has a tendency to work in
[02:00:29] FPV a [@$#%] there we go nah nope nothing hold on let me look up this [@$#%] AIO and see what it is serial or SPI HD lrc Spector all right let's see okay BR Bean says it's
[02:01:34] SPI SPI all right so it should have worked in the first place then right okay we'll try it again this time I'll check the receiver tab to make sure it's not on
[02:01:57] CrossFire crsf rather receiver tab crsf although it is on I guess [@$#%] man I forget the oh God I forget I forget oh I get so spoiled by the by the HappyModel stuff like just kind of
[02:02:31] working oh there it is serial there there it is there it is there it is this is what I was looking for I was like I know crsf isn't right but I didn't see what was what I was used
[02:02:51] to in there there we go wow that comes wrong from the factory that is a big old dick in the face Jesus what is the matter with them In fairness that could technically have been
[02:03:08] from from us updating it but like the fact that I've had to do all this there we go the fact that I've had to do all this is really bad like this is this is why FPV sucks balls and
[02:03:23] everybody quits all the time like if you're going to sell something H never mind never mind maybe it's the best AO ever maybe it's fine I'm sure it's the best AO ever and
[02:03:37] I'm the [@$#%] now I get to check everything because I don't trust anything nose down nose up left right y'all left y'all right great configuration
[02:03:52] and all this stuff came over that's wonderful why is the OSD turned off that's from the update that happens when you update for some weird reason easy beeping at me stop
[02:04:09] it all right that [@$#%] came over great that stuff came over awesome let's add in some deadband stick low threshold is fine move that up a little bit nothing really super interesting
[02:04:34] herestop beeping what [@$#%] is the y'w doing that was really weird Behavior a second ago I I can't reproduce it but that was super strange there it is again what the hell's the y'all
[02:05:07] doing the Y is acting weird when I put it in the bottom left corner soon as I get it out of the corner though it's okay oh that's weird huh it'll be fine
[02:05:27] modes what great fun ax 2 all the way up let me blow on this thing it's smelling hot wonder if this thing has black box if it's does I can now turn it on oh no it
[02:05:55] doesn't no no chip found no black box that kind of stinks Turtle mode launch control for the funds save adjustments enabled Ox 2 full range OSD Ox 2
[02:06:23] save Motors by directional dshot is on great motor P should definitely not be 14 let's bring that down to 12 save and reboot n t a r Brandon I wish I was
[02:06:49] aetr but I've gone too far all right let's get my OSD loaded up in here also crash recovery we'll get that on there I got this handy dandy little digital post note can you stop
[02:07:10] beeping all right OSD is now good I think that's about it nope nope nope nope not quite race band eight on until first arm [@$#%] it we'll leave it on 100 save all right now we're good black box
[02:07:35] nothing te loging sensors let's check the OSD make sure that silly stuff like the crosshairs aren't still on great all right we're good the postflight stats for some
[02:07:48] reason don't come over though speed maximum no RSSI minimum that's nice link quality minimum that's nice GeForce maximum is fun Black Box we don't care ESC RPM
[02:08:00] maximum my favorite ESC temperature maximum is kind of fun battery voltage Mah used current draw maximum great all right we are good to go Motors Tab and let's spin these [@$#%]
[02:08:28] up see who's spinning the right direction who spinning the wrong direction and fix them well that's not good nothing happened oh I bet you it doesn't have blue jay on it or bidirectional dshot
[02:08:49] compatible firmware turning the transmitter off we had it's got be h s 16.7 what the hell hglrc come on man all right flash all esc's I'm being lazy at this point and I'm just doing
[02:09:21] the newest version of BL heli I'm sorry not BL heli blue J 20 20 I guess it would be I have a really nice fan I have the Douglas otwell made gangly fan but I would
[02:09:47] have to roll all the way over there to grab a battery for it and my mouth is right here it's almost done come on man this is on an old ass version of BL heli Jesus PPM Min
[02:10:17] throttle PPM Max throttle my God man all right we're there hooray Beacon settings turn them [@$#%] up medium timing 2 minutes on the Beacon delay break on stop right
[02:10:56] settings come on you bastard there it goes disconnect that's the sound of our people motor tab motor Direction understand the risks not great
[02:11:23] uh what why what they're plugged in what nice St okay the motors beep what the [@$#%] the motors beep they're not reporting any error what I I think this is a
[02:12:18] first what the hell why no they're not even twitching mots what the hell okay that's weird [Laughter] I mean just for the sake of argument we can crank those
[02:13:17] up temperature production disabled guess I could go to One S here but that shouldn't that shouldn't do anything what blue j. 21 since when I thought it was
[02:13:32] 0.20 z30 oh now that's [@$#%] weird hang on hang on I'm going to go back and I'm going to put this back on 2S and see if that I want to know what was doing that that's very
[02:14:05] weird very very very weird wow that that was no no no no there it goes so it was the startup power it wasn't even twitching the motors though or it just needed to be reset a
[02:14:32] couple times here let's turn this all the way down I I thought that it should at least TW they were turned up a little bit I thought it would at least twitch the motors they weren't all the way down
[02:14:47] but they were at like the the the default like really low which I've run a number of times before wow it doesn't even twitch them there's a first interesting it like I I swear to God
[02:15:10] every single part of FPV is just is is just completely different from one thing to the next like there's no there's no repeatability anywhere in FPV it's really I I'm not even mad I'm I'm
[02:15:27] impressed that these manufacturers have managed to make FPV so impossible that the only solution is to quit the only logical thing to do is quit now it doesn't work
[02:15:41] again what the [@$#%] is happening what was that what the [@$#%] was that wow man th this is this is extraordinarily dumb oh what the [@$#%] all right so now this thing is just
[02:16:06] acting up now it's motor one is motor 2 is wrong motor 3 is wrong wait a second what am I doing props in God Jesus Christ motor one is wrong motor 2 is
[02:16:45] right three is Right four is wrong reverse one and four and they are having a hard [@$#%] time these motors are having a hard time there is
[02:17:09] something oh motor one is [@$#%] up I think this AIO is bad R of the Box what are one is Right motor 2 is right what the [@$#%] why is motor 4 backwards motor 1 is backwards too the
[02:17:29] the oh my God hold on let me make sure the motors are in the right places I guess no motor one is there's something wrong with the fat on channel one this this a was bad I
[02:17:48] think and the motors won't reverse now they won't spin again wow what a piece of [@$#%] oh my god dude what the [@$#%] somebody says try turning off B directional dshot that's super weird but
[02:18:07] we'll give it a try wow this thing sucks not off to a good start with this AIO Jesus so motor motor channel one just gives up oh that's interesting I turned off bir directional dshot and now it is
[02:18:36] managing to reverse the motors properly that is a cool little hack that way I don't have to go into the ESC configurator to do it's could just be too hot let's get some air flow
[02:18:57] going all right now everybody's spinning in the right direction great what a weird aiio maybe it's just too hot it might just be too hot Jesus what a pain in the
[02:19:29] yes all right that's plenty let me go back in here just to see what happens because this gives it now motor channel one is channel one is [@$#%] up so this is this I'll I'll
[02:19:49] I'll swap the motor around but I can I can all but guarantee you I've seen this behavior before either now these motors were fine these motors were totally fine before
[02:20:03] sure maybe the motors are maybe this motor on motor channel one is on its way out but it's not this aiio is being a jerk but let's fly it man got spoiled got spoiled by the
[02:20:28] the the HappyModel and BetaFPV aios they just work there's like none of this [@$#%] weird world to live in that we're getting spoiled by HappyModel in beta
[02:20:46] FPV very weird world okay motor one won't spin up oh there it goes I also don't have OSD which is strange oh boy and it's oscillating the trifecta oh
[02:21:37] boy I mean I I I should I should stop now because like the AO is is broken channel one is is [@$#%] up and I mean this is going to fly exactly the same as it did well it's going to fly
[02:21:54] worse than it did with the with the X12 because ESC channel number one is being a douchebag where the hell is the OSD man the wall of air that just hit me was kind of nutty
[02:22:27] FES exactly like it did which is kind of good I guess absolutely no idea why I don't have OSD once the battery sag down a little bit the tune kind of came around which is
[02:23:02] nice the the hover Point feels really high Jesus come on now great well I'll fly it until it fails all the way I guess I I I don't really know [@$#%] really I don't want to demolish this
[02:23:48] battery so let's let's bring it in I'll plug it into BetaFlight and see if maybe I can figure out what the hell is going on with the OSD not that it really matters I mean h all right
[02:24:01] well that's super disappointing I I I really thought that hglrc might actually be able to redeem themselves here but not looking like it I will swap the the motors
[02:24:23] though to see if I don't know cuz the X12 was doing this twitching [@$#%] after a whole bunch of batteries of abuse no OSD is set up properly adjustments aux 2 aux 2 OSD
[02:24:43] profile selection full range yep it moves absolutely no reason for the OSD not to work yes there is it's set to HD all right now the OSD will work oh wow look at all this error what
[02:25:05] the [@$#%] is that about oh is there no battery plugged in there's no battery plugged in okay this battery got hot right now there's a battery plugged in it's still got all that air though what
[02:25:25] the hell is that about what what is that oh oh oh oh oh am I am I am I asking too much of the processor hold on dshot 300 well no I mean it's dshot 300 and 4K I can't really go down from
[02:25:48] there okay this is super weird that there should not be error like this my God hglrc are you kidding me with this like is can't can't you do anything right what the
[02:26:10] [@$#%] just out of curiosity let's turn the pit Loop all the way down to 2K and see if that helps I'll be damned it does but let's see if it n m one is still refusing to start
[02:26:29] up May it was bad now there's error on no it's this is just garbage I know motor channel one is is [@$#%] how [@$#%] disappointing man I might
[02:26:57] actually I forget where I got this from but I'm gonna I'm going to contact whoever the hell I bought this from and say like look you need to I'm sending this [@$#%] thing
[02:27:08] back wow let's try this let's actually try this I have an idea hold on let me make sure I'm not over discharging this battery 3.6 glad I checked all right different
[02:27:38] battery all right let's see if blue J is at the root of the problem so let's connect let's read settings and we're going to take a look at so it's
[02:27:57] z30 z30 is what we're looking for all right z30 let's get it unplugged and let's go all the way down the bottom and look for z30 zh z30 48k all
[02:28:32] right come back here I swear to God if this fixes the problem I'm going to be very happy let's turn off this transmitter turn off my goggles too no reason to have them banging away all right connect
[02:28:50] read settings come on flash all esc's flash local firmware and then we're going to go to downloads there it is open and now this is going to flash it to Blue
[02:29:10] j16 which I've had way better luck with than any of the newer version blue jays. 7.8.9 2 and possibly 21 this is the first time I think I've done
[02:29:27] 21 can you go why are you so slow and that's on esc1 that it's being super slow I I think there's a problem with ESC channel number one look at this this is
[02:29:46] ridiculous there's this ain't right I've never had an ESC do this before and I've done this literally hundreds of times this is channel one's blown up I mean we'll see what happens when it
[02:30:01] gets to Channel 2 but oh I'm blowing on it Dave Hold on let me get the gangly fan out it's getting a little bit old okay gangly fan coming up all
[02:30:31] right it is now officially on a fan I don't want to stay there though because the USB cords plugged in no I mean look at this [@$#%] this is this is ridiculous
[02:30:52] I guess it's just not going to update the ESC number one ever is that the deal here wow man hglrc you should be [@$#%] ashamed of yourselves you really
[02:31:06] should how can a company so constantly make garbage like how is that a thing how is that possible and now like this is probably really bad that it's going to get stuck halfway through
[02:31:24] here it's just completely given up wow wow nope she done bro why do I give oh the transmitter is still on come on you son of a [@$#%] keep going go
[02:32:09] more go go happy tracing on I flight go you bastard go did I just see it go a little bit oh my God I really don't want to close this window I don't think that's going to
[02:32:39] be a great thing but I I don't really have much of another Choice [@$#%] I hope that didn't just Breck it boy oh that's not a good sign oh come on
[02:33:02] buddy oh boy oh boy this is not a great sign but let's try it again oh keep going go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go
[02:33:20] all right we might be okay I I don't think this has change anything but at least it's sort of unbricked oh boy I don't think this is going to change anything but I mean I have to do
[02:33:50] this I I have to at least try this all right will it remember my settings I doubt it no I got to reset all this stuff okay the [@$#%] this is unreal this is absolutely unreal okay oh what the
[02:34:36] hell wow man this is this is insane the the we've all got mental problems for continuing to do this to ourselves this is this is this is the this is oh my my God this is the stupidest
[02:34:51] [@$#%] ever what the [@$#%] is wrong with us oh man we all need to have our [@$#%] heads checked sure ESC one two and three are normal and then four is reversed why I you know
[02:35:10] why not why not have at it wny not n motor one's still [@$#%] up but one's still jacked up I don't I don't know I don't know what to say or do or think here other
[02:35:47] than I'm an idiot for giving hdlc another chance that's all I can really think of here m one is backwards again M 4 is now correct though boy I just it's still spinning the
[02:36:09] motors BetaFlight that's a little sketchy my friends you want to you should fix that that's a little weird I'm going to reverse motor one in
[02:36:26] here all right no motor one is still a twitch Fest and now it just bombed okay great awesome just for the sake of argument I'm going to take motor one off and swap it with motor 2 well first
[02:36:59] thing I'm going to do is take a quick look no let's just do it let's just swap it boy oh boy man it is [@$#%] late too 12:40 Jesus I want to give you guys some sense sense of accomplishment here though
[02:37:22] myself included all right this should be pretty quick motor one unplugged motor two unplugged all right pulling motor one now imagine imagine for a second that I had to do this with direct
[02:38:00] soldered Motors imagine how hard I would smash this thing with the [@$#%] Hammer talk to me about direct solder tiny whoop Motors are fine it's not a big deal [@$#%] out of here
[02:38:22] imagine a world where at this point I had to take this entire rig apart just to swap these two Motors can you do it with the aiio and the frame sort of do you melt the frame every time you try to
[02:38:37] do it that way [@$#%] better believe you do Direct sold tiny whoop Motors back up off me with that nonsense oh man all right Motors one and two have been swapped
[02:39:25] let's plug them in and see if the problem has chased the motor or stayed with the ESC Channel this is the very first thing that you should be doing when troubleshooting Motors because it's just it makes the
[02:39:46] rest of the it's completely changes the rest of the troubleshoot and it saves you it typically saves you tons of time it cuts the troubleshoot in half basically all right let's
[02:40:07] see boy oh boy do I hope that the problem is now on motor 2 but it's not going to be I saw somebody talk about Idol this has nothing to do with Idol idol won't fix this at all that's a
[02:40:27] completely different thing nope stays on channel one although now now channel two won't spin up either what a piece of garbage I think this AO just died right before our very
[02:40:41] eyes wow what a piece of [@$#%] motor 2 won't spin now [Laughter] motor 2 is switching I know this thing sucks wow dude unbelievable unb [@$#%] believable hglrc you have outdone
[02:41:06] yourselves damn that is world class [@$#%] right there that's what that is oh man oh my God okay well oh all right there's that sure why not why
[02:41:58] not why not hold on though hold on hold on hold on motor 2 has a little bit more resistance than it should hold on hold on hold on hold on hold
[02:42:13] on what's happen with you little guy is there something going on here you unhappy C clip is spinning just fine there's nothing there's nothing on this meteor 75 Pro frame that
[02:42:36] really touches the there is like a hair what I might be feeling is if if it's if a fat blew up and it's shorted it kind of feels like when when you have the the contacts closed on
[02:43:03] one of the motors and it kind of fights against you a little bit that could be what I'm what I'm feeling here because there's no there's nothing physical that's that's
[02:43:15] keeping this motor from spinning there's significantly more resistance on on motor 2 now which feels just like when you jump the when you jump the contacts what a dick in the
[02:43:46] face now the wires are fine no there's nothing there's nothing physically keeping this motor from spinning completely freely unless when I pulled the prop off or pushed the prop on it made the motor
[02:44:20] shaft a little bit too tight just kind of moving the motor around a little bit no let me get the propeller back off and I can swap Motors again at this point something going on with the top of the
[02:44:51] motor maybe certainly doesn't look like it I'm trying man I'm trying to give hglrc all the all the good Juju that I can and blame myself for as much of this as I possibly can but boy I am running
[02:45:18] out of things to blame myself over will the motor Bell move up and down at all if it moves up and down at all it's m b is looking a little bit tight hold on hold on there's a
[02:45:36] chance that it's a motor issue and so motor shaft Bell C clip okay let me try something the bell of the motor needs to be able to move up and down at least a little bit if it won't then the C clip is
[02:46:11] going to be pushing up against in this case the bearing and that's not good I got to smack this with something a little bit heavier what about this okay I don't know man
[02:46:49] I don't know the motor's still there's just there's more resistance on this motor than the rest thank you MCM MC mucus 420 Super Chat thanks dude not buying
[02:47:28] that oh oh oh dummy unplug the motor unplug the motor here we go this will tell me if it's the fet if if it's the ESC that's blown up no it's
[02:47:52] not unless there's a short inside the motor I guess there that that could technically be it but no I think this is something else I think the the motor is just binding up for some
[02:48:14] reason what's going on with you little fella I mean regardless ESC one the ESC number one is still [@$#%] even with the even with the motor swap so this AO can still go
[02:48:37] to hell but it's not looking like both channels blew up on the on the damn thing look like it was just that one and this motor has mysteriously [@$#%] the bed
[02:49:25] I'm going to bed [@$#%] this I'm done I I don't I don't have it in me right now the it's Hold on Me loosen the motor up loosen the screws on the motor up just out of sheer morbid
[02:50:12] curiosity now it's hard to tell because the motor's wobbling all around in there I can't really tell might be better but see there's nothing there's nothing that would bind
[02:50:41] up hold on me very lightly tighten this motor down and plug it back in and see what happens all right it is very lightly tightened down let's
[02:51:11] see now it's still [@$#%] up nope so I managed to hurt one of these motors I have no idea how I I do know how it's I I took a prop God forbid you take a propeller off and put another
[02:51:37] propeller back on not allowed to do that man I really like these motors too these are the VCI 082 2.8 and I was really digging these motors man [@$#%] what the hell happened
[02:52:25] they they use these c clips on these motors that are like really small too and they're like recessed down in there I don't think I can get this motor apart I don't think this is a motor that
[02:52:40] can be taken apart I can't get in there if I get this C clip off I ain't getting it back on I'll tell you that much but I ain't getting it off no way oh [@$#%] there it goes damn Dam okay
[02:53:20] that ain't going back on though I mean the motor is jacked up anyway so it's whatever but let's see what the hell happened here top bearing is kind of like falling
[02:53:38] out that's not great but shouldn't be the problem let me look at the Bell here oh I think I see the problem the washers are all [@$#%] up in the Bell oh my God what the hell
[02:54:03] happened there what is that about what why is that so what the [@$#%] what is this what is this Mickey Mouse [@$#%] going on inside of this belt so they always put these little spacers SL washers slash
[02:54:28] whatever the hell you want to call them above in the on the motor shaft on the top of the Bell this one is like Ultra bendy and it's got like a huge offc Center like divot in
[02:54:52] it and now there's another one in here what the hell material oh these Teflon they look like silver they look like they should be metal but then they're super
[02:55:05] flexible but they're all goddamn mangled well I'm going to take that one out and leave it out this one it has to have at least one so I'm going to leave this one in here this
[02:55:33] one is is just wrecked and I guess that might have happened when I took the propeller off and put the other propeller back in it's like all all kinds of ablong there's no way in hell that this camera
[02:55:51] will focus close enough but this oh it actually kind of is see how janked up that is I believe that was the problem unfortunately though I don't think I'm going to be able to get this
[02:56:10] motor back to I I don't think I'm going to be able to get this C clip back on we'll give it a try though this is the this is the smallest C clip I think I've ever seen I need to get this camera the
[02:56:22] hell out of here for this oh wow no this is ridiculous for the record that could have also gotten banged up when I was smacking on it with the the screwdriver oh my God this this is holy [@$#%] this is
[02:57:02] small well c clips in position it's either going to go back on or fire across the room probably fire across the room let's see oh [@$#%] man I've done that a lot times I've gotten really good at like
[02:57:21] perfectly seating that it's fixed and it'll probably be fine with one less little washer in there [@$#%] maybe it wasn't supposed to have two to begin with maybe it was only supposed to
[02:57:35] have the one I'll be damned this is not what's wrong with the motor on channel one happy EX exactly right c clips get called Jesus Clips cuz when they fire across the room you go
[02:58:01] Jesus all right well let's see if let's see if only one channel has failed on this hdlr CAO I assume so I I assume that this motor will now now spin up totally fine but you never
[02:58:26] know no it still has a bunch of resistance wow it's I don't think it's going to work but this is going to be the last thing we do this is this is I'm completely out of gas
[02:58:50] what a pain in the ass Jesus every step of the way this HDC AO is a [@$#%] pain Motors there it goes motor one is still jacked up but motor 2 is now fine 49,000 56,000 it's not fine 56,000 motor
[02:59:17] to is oh now it won't spin up again okay well now there's 56,000 though man it is acting weird see if I can convince motor one to spin come on you bastard come
[02:59:42] on come on work oh God that scared the [@$#%] out of me come on come on God damn it come on see there it goes 56,000 it's fires all the way
[03:00:04] up but this twitching [@$#%] like God damn it I can't see anything wrong I don't know dude no I think the ESC is just blown up I'm done dve says run it for five seconds
[03:00:37] let it cook deal that's what I usually do is I just start hammering on it like Full Throttle and then it'll blow the fets completely up and it's like good you were blown up
[03:00:47] anyway come on come on you [@$#%] there it goes I don't want to hurt the motor it's still hitting 56,000 RPM it's still being a Twitchy bastard [@$#%] you game over
[03:01:32] man game over thanks for hanging friends I don't know what to say I'm I don't know God I keep going back to the the person that commented and said that they have
[03:01:52] seven of these aios running and they're all like good to go some of which are on 2S and it's like what like what the [@$#%] like how do I get the one that that that's blown up right out of the box
[03:02:10] and it's makes me want to try another one but I've given HD lrc so many chances over the years so many chances and every single time they've [@$#%] me
[03:02:27] and that's this that's the exact same experience I'm having here and so how dumb do I have to be to get to do it again right like how how many times do you have to get screwed over by
[03:02:42] a company before you actually say like no never again ever ever ever ever ever regard of what anybody else says right like I'm at least six or seven deep into that relationship with hglrc
[03:02:58] I'm at least six or seven products deep of them not working right out of the box or just straight up catching on fire the second that you put Power to them what are [@$#%] show FPV can suck my
[03:03:20] dick forever put that on a [@$#%] postcard come back on Wednesday and ask me some questions guys I'm done I'm sorry I love you guys no flying just the song bye
