Racing Drone Build

[94onur94]

Hi guys, I want to design a racing drone. But I don't know which frame is more efficient for racing drones.

My setup is;
Omnibus F4 Pro V3
Emax RS2205 2300KV
LITTLEBEE BLlheli-s 30A
Radiolink AT9S/R9DS
Matek V3.1 PBD
Eachine TX526
TATTU 4S 1550 95C
and camera.

For frame;
REPTILE Martian II 2 220
ZMR250 H250 250 Carbon Fiber

Which frame should I prefer for this setup? or Do you have any suggestions?

That zmr is ancient. Martian is pretty dated too. Something like this would be way better...

Great choice Green, also maybe look at 1300’s instead of 1550’s for weight reduction.

Also, you will want to pick up an R6DSM or R12DSM receiver for the AT9S, the included one is too big.

 

[Wayno52]

Are you setting up for racing or freestyle?

 

[94onur94]

More for freestyle. I have a radiolink AT9S but i can buy a new receiver like R6DSM or R12DSM. I will buy the frame from Aliexpress. Can you advice any frame from Aliexpress. Formula 220x isn't sold there.

 

[theGreenOrange]

Mito 210 looks pretty good.

 

[94onur94]

What about motor and esc? Are they good choice?

 

[theGreenOrange]

Yes good on ESC and motors

 

[theGreenOrange]

I like 4in1 ESC boards with built in PDB, but some like separates.

How is martian IV 220mm?

To me, it is still unnecessarily large especially in the rear, causing excess drag and weight for no reason. The front is also pretty big. 190 looks OK but I like 4in1 ESC's so would probably choose a frame without the built in PDB.

But i will use ccd camera and hd camera for record. Also lipo takes up much space. How can i fit all of them?

 

[theGreenOrange]

The lipo usually goes on the bottom. If you want, you could do a runcam split instead of a separate hd cam.

 

[94onur94]

Which lipo I have to choose TATTU 4S 1300mAh or TATTU 4S 1550mAh For Emax 2205 2300KV. Both of them are 95C. There is only 30gr difference.

 

[theGreenOrange]

Either way would be fine. I would pick 1300 and save the 30g.
