The Sanchez 3 Inch 3D Printed FPV Racing Drone Frame by Dave_C_FPV (2 PCS)

Description

BUILD RECOMMENDATIONS
Frame is compatible with the below flight controller mounts.
- AIO (25.5x25.5)
- 16x16
- 20x20
The best way to go in my humble opinion is a 3S build with motors around 8-10 grams and 5-6000kV. Light 3" props and a 12A AIO.
Motors:
The best motors should be 1304 and 1404 5-6000kV. The
DYS 1404 6000kV
I have tried perform really well and offer good build quality for a low price. I can't say too much about durability yet but they seem robust enough especially for such a light build. Other motor options I would consider are the
GEPRC 1206
the
Rcingpower1207
Update: [15.07.19]:
Flywoo released new
1404 motors
The kV will be too low for 3S but apparently the GEPRC handles 4S just fine. I will test them soon. iFlight has also moved with their
1404 Xing
Comes in 7000kV for 2-3S!
FC&ESC:
The
GEPRC 12A F4
or the identical board from BetaFPV combined with my
14mm Pod
is just by far the nicest and cleanest option. Remove the connectors for the motors and direct solder them. Another Option is the new
iFlight 12A AIO
.
FPV Camera:
You can fit a regular 19mm micro cam and my
19mm Pod
but weight is super important for this build so I highly recommend you get one of the new 14mm format cams. The
RunCam Nano 2
is the best out there and also super cheap
FPV + HD Camera
if you want to build the frame with an HD capable camera the best this frame supports currently is the
Caddx Turtle V2
. It will fit with the adapter and 20x20 pod you can find in the thing files. The new
Caddx Tarsier 4K
also looks super promising. I should hopefully receive mine soon and be able to upload a pod that fits it.
VTX:
The best choice is a TBS Nano 32 because of the 400mW. But you can also get the the
knock-off by HGLRC
for a third of the price. 50mW not bad either.
RX:
I use a [Crossfire Nano RX] with an [XF-Race] antenna. Combined with the 400mW TBS Nano 32 VTX this gives me an incredible range for such a tiny light quad. If you don't want to spend that much money get a
FrSky XM
for a few bucks! (Only if you use a FrSky radio of course)
Props:
The
Gemfan 3035
are my favourite so far (Absolutely no jello!).
Battery:
A 450-650mah 3S works best with this setup in my opinion
Misc:
Add a low ESR capacitor to the XT-30. Since there is a lot of electronics that the 5V regulator has to supply I highly recommend you use one.
