The tough 250 racing quad by shawdreamer

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

been testing multiple types, models and makes of motors,escs and FC's of late and no matter how good a design of 3d printed hardware is, it'll only stand up to so much testing punishment before your printing replacement parts more than your test flying lol, so I decided to make a small compromise in the build by using a Diatone 250 single piece frame as a base for modification.
these frames are available from HK as the "FPV250" frame for around the 7 quid mark and uptil now has been near on indestructible..... they really are shockingly durable, which makes them ideal for use as a test rig.
base frame....http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__66324__HobbyKing_8482_FPV250_Quad_Copter_A_Mini_Sized_FPV_Multi_Rotor_kit_AR_Warehouse_.html
lower platform accommodates either 4x (upto) 12A escs or the quatro or Q-brain 4in1's. (alternative escs on arms and PDB/Wiring bundles on platform
FC (frame) platform accommodates anything upto a multiwii or KK2.1 board in size.
Upper platform offers FC protection and maybe somewhere for GPS receiver or VTX.
Battery bay accommodates upto a Turnigy 3s 2200 in size.
RX can go on the back platform while cam hung off the front.
should be a nice tidy compact piece of kit when Im done........ fingers crossed that is
