TBS DISCOVERY - New quadrocopter frame

[Traveller]

Nice video Hugy!
Which Esc and motor setup are you using?


(zeker een mooi stukje werk weer hugo!)

[hugy]

discovery is equiped with stock dji f450 naza equipment. 3s and stock 8inch props.

no

There was a bag of socket head bolts that hold the red spacers, then theres a bag of 3mmx8mm like dji motor bolts to use in the red spacers, but there 1mm too long so gotta be cut down to work. They could work for the clone arms, but the dji arms are 2.5mm not 3mm

a whole new 450 kit is only $30........ sell the frame plates to a beginner, you get the arms, bolts, parts bag. for $20

We include 3x6.5 for securing your motor. and we include 3x5 for securing the red spacers. if you order the arms from us, we additionally include a 2.5x5.5 screw set. you do not need to trim down screws, although I do have to agree it looks better that way we're working on that btw.

tbs arm are knockoff?

no, we only sell original DJI arms

at this point the clone stuff isn't cheap enough to negate.... there all teh same price

Thanks, lovin the multi rotor fpv gig.

well the clone stuff is still way cheaper, but the total price difference is just too small to really support the cloners. I think you need to understand what kind of mentality you support by buying clone stuff.

sweet stuff, congratulations!

the holes on the clone arms aren't straight either..... makes for a sloppy build. the bolts don't go in and out smooth, forced into place.

is the shield suppose to be tacked on or completely welded on?

[kloner]

well that didn't quite go like i planned it would. Got the esc's on it, painted the motors flat black and bolted her together, went outside, had a great first hop with it. Threw it around for a few minutes, was carrying it inside when i noticed an arc and smoke. By the time i got the battery undone she blew the core to bits. Gonna order another but this time have you guys solder it. Must have had another loose piece of solder

so a loose piece of solder shorted something? man that sucks, sorry to hear

[kloner]

dunno, you see pretty much what i did. The core lit on fire, can't imagine what else did that. I was just walking with it, set it on a plastic trashcan when i saw the glow and smoke. I'll order another today and get back in line

should see the frame, what a mess. The house still reaks
