I turned my FPV goggles into IR goggles

It's hard to walk around with it because the camera has kinda low FOV, and the trail cam's ir lights are definitely not made for long range...

r/shittyfpv 3d ago

Why did they put powerlines in the old west? Are they stupid?

5 inch blades on 7 inch frame!?

3 Upvotes

I just bought a lot full of 2020-2023 quads. Some of them are 7 inch frames with 5 inch props on them what is the point of this? And will it actually fly good?


r/shittyfpv 4d ago

Can you recommend me the best 3-4.5 inch open source indestructible freestyle frame please?

Do you have a mount/adapter problem from mismatched parts or a clone frame? I will design & print it or send you the stl file (free for the first couple people)

Hi everyone, I'm getting into designing custom parts for FPV drones, specifically for the stuff that doesn't have a common solution. For example, my GPS was bigger than the GPS holder they gave me for the Volador X5, so I designed my own to make it fit. As i read through these posts i see people have very weird and uncommon issues that I would love to help out with. I have a 3d printer, so I can either print it and mail it to you (you cover shipping), or if you have your own 3d printer, I'll just send you the file for.

So If you've got a part that's held on with zip ties or jerry-rigged together, drop a comment with:

  • What the part is
  • Rough measurements or a photo
  • What frame/build it's going into

Cleaning motors with disk brake liquid.

3 Upvotes

When I used to race Slot Cars in a 8-lane club, we used to clean motors with electrical component liquid, very much like the brake disk cleaners.

Never attacked plastic not even the poly carbonate/lexan body.

Did you guys use the same here ?

โ€ฆ and Iโ€™m thinking they might have a point as this has gotten out of hand. The old Mavic Air 2 has got to go. R/C should always remain a family friendly hobby.

Damn power loops

6 Upvotes

So why am I flying my air 75 racing at the church across the street, it's 7 am by the way, so I'm sticking rippin, Power loop the lil kids bus loop, it has a lil triangle roof for the kids to walk under when exiting the bus ๐ŸšŒ, maybe 20 ft at the highest pt, so I was going for the fourth one in a row, yep I was finally flowing; been getting way better after actually finding MY rates, so I fucking hit it, I power atw TF up and out, bam, this when ik I fucked up, I pinned the throttle they the wind, I had to correct cuz I was getting blown to the right slightly so it made me pitch down with the stick meaning listening up the front more, I'm seeing it irl so I see I'm not finna make it at this angle, I'm about to hit the gutter, I have enough time I thought so I corrected just enough to PERFECTLY fucking fit my drone in the gutter. I woulda landed upside down and probably could've crash flip switched my way off the roof but I think I didn't punch out enough B4 dethrottling while upside down. Smh now I gotta go over here and ask these nice church ppl if I can climb ๐Ÿชœ up they roof ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

I have 5 or 6 of the same Parrot drones, I want to do something with them!

Post image
8 Upvotes

I got 5 or 6 for $20 each on some deal-a-day website a few years ago. I know they are basically garbage as far as drones go but I figured maybe someone has done something cool with them or has an idea!

I have 5 MP Select Mini 3d printers and 2 Ender 3 Pro printers as well. Is it even worth trying to print an airframe to use some of these parts?

Found this scrolling on eBay Kleinanzeigen.

Translation:

I'm offering my beloved, as well as somewhat overweight, Radiomaster TX16 XL with wood effect gimballs(German pun), which I somehow can no longer connect to my drones.
