RACING DRONE UPDATE
RACING DRONE PROFESSIONAL

Off-the-shelf drones, while still awesome, simply aren't going to bring home trophies or (better!) cash prizes. But just like any other sport on the planet, racing drones requires patience, practice, and a (healthy) budget depending on how deep you want to get. The sport of first-person view quadcopter racing is still relatively new, so now's the perfect time to begin flying.

RACING DRONE UPDATE

This may be a firmware update issue since none of the reports about this issue date later than 2019 so just be aware.įind more Arris X220 V2 220mm RC Quadcopter information and reviews here. There are reports online about the Arris X220 inexplicably dropping out of the sky into a failsafe landing after a few minutes and around 100 feet away. For safety, the X220 features an integrated battery warning buzzer, allowing the pilot can set the threshold using the Betaflight adjustment software. The centrifugal fan design optimizes heat dissipation for longer life. The 2300KV brushless motor is specially designed for high-performance FPV racing. A chamfered edge design on the arm gives this racing drone a sleek look at rest and in flight. The symmetrical X design frame is made of total carbon fiber with some alloy parts which makes the drone lightweight and durable. Each of the X220 units has been calibrated and pre-flown before shipping. This is an assembled ready-to-fly version of the Arris X220 V2 220mm RC Quadcopter and the kit includes a QX7 radio set and a high-quality 4S 1,500mAh Lipo battery.

Also, GPS lock before a flight can be cumbersome at first but once that’s taken care of (with six or more satellites needed before the first flight), operation shouldn’t be an issue.įind more iFlight Titan XL5 HD 6S Racing Drone information and reviews here.

Reports of wonky firmware applications before a flight are commonplace with this racing drone but not impossible. If you’re a first-time drone flier, you may want to do some research on how complicated it is to set up this drone. The twin bug-like antennae look pretty cool as well. The quadcopter build with its x-geometry is clean allowing for higher performance. The DJI first-person-view system allows for some great sightseeing that’s easy and open. The Xing 2208 motors run smoothly with a grounded feel to the flight characteristics. The weight distribution on this drone is nicely balanced but it’s certainly not lightweight.

Because that’s no fun for anyone.īuy the Walkera F210 Professional Racer here.īuilt with rugged flight toughness in mind, the iFlight Titan XL5 HD 6S Racing Drone will take a beating and still come back for more. This drone is a perfect entry-level professional racer and, like the Blade Mach 25, it also has a carbon fiber frame that’s super-strong.Īn observation: that ridiculous-looking mushroom antenna in the back may be an eyesore, but it was placed there to provide superior transmission capabilities, making it less likely that you’ll lose contact with your drone in the middle of a race. When you apply some pitch, it’s incredibly fast. It’s driven by four powerful 2500kv brushless motors that push it to the limits, giving it incredible speed and zip. The Walkera F201 features a truly innovative design that’s incredibly fast and one of the best plug-and-play solutions on the market right now. It’s admittedly one of the strangest, bulkiest-looking racing drones to buy (even though it’s a 210 class), but don’t let its appearance fool you - this thing can buzz around with the best of them. It comes with a reliable Devo 7 transmitter. The Walkera F210 Professional Racer has a unique 700TVL night vision camera that allows you to practice at night, and it has a wide 120-degree viewing range.
