QX105 BAT Speedy Micro FPV Racer Drone Flight Test Review

Liked this one so much that I did a second review flight. This may be one of the fastest micro FPV fliers. It actually feels like you're flying a much larger racer due to its abnormally large (for a micro) brushed motors. Being small and light, it can be safely flown in most parks or backyards (something that you wouldn't want to do with larger racers). But wouldn't recommend this for beginner fliers as it will break in too many high speed crashes. If you're new to quadcopters, do yourself a favor and start with a cheap and durable toy grade quad to learn the basics, such as Syma X5C.

Pros
- Large 1020 brushed motors provide plenty of power. They make this very maneuverable and fast for a little quadcopter.
- Relatively long flight time for a FPV micro quadcopter at up to 5 1/2 minutes.
- Available versions include ARF DSM/Frsky/Flysky (AFHDS2A), and RTF (Flysky only).
- Powered by commonly available 3.7V 600mah LiPo with white Losi connector. Widely available and cheap.
- Omnibus F3 FCB loaded with Betaflight 3.0.1
- 600 TVL camera with 25 mW 48 Channel NTSC/PAL FPV transmitter. Can be easily tilted up or down to improve view.
- Buzzer and VBAT detector for low batt warning.
- Carbon fiberglass structure.
- Includes spare battery and two spare motors. Motors are slidein/plugin, and easily replaceable in less than thirty seconds.
- Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
- Does not require FAA registration.

Cons
- I had problems configuring some Betaflight 3.0.1 mode switch settings in Betaflight. Although I would save my settings, they would work for one flight, then would reset back to the original stock settings. I then tried Cleanflight to configure the switch settings, and that seemed to correct the issue.

wow very fast. these 100mm micros are just getting better and better. and all bought as one kit

[billsomrak]

Yeah, its a shame they "under designed" that thing with FETs (which drive the motors) that are not able to handle the current necessary. Actually, putting an ARM/DISARM switch on any racer is a good idea .. I have them on all of mine (all of mine run off the same TX, an old FrSky Taranis 9D+). With these tiny micro FPV racers, you almost can't fly them LOS, because they are so small, its just too easy to lose sight of them or orientation. I could tell how much fun you were having by your comments as you were flying. Wonder if you cut throttle when you do your rolls? By doing so, you can do some more advanced maneuvers, like a 1/2 roll, followed by another 1/2 .. or even a 4 point roll. If you're high enough, you can half roll, then pull back on the pitch stick and give lots of throttle, and you get the equivalent of a "Split-S" maneuver ... cool. We actually got up to 64 deg. here today, with bright sun, so I went out and did a 15 1/2 mile bike ride for some exercise. (it was too windy for flying). Cheers.

Can you do a review of the Tovsto Uluru? You have previous done a review of the Tovsto Aegean. Thanks

[ktrimberger]

Ive been flying the blade nano qx and have that all but masyered. I'm ready to fly micro fpv quads outside. I really like what this quad has to offer, but can you recommend sth like it but a little more durable? Minimal rotar visibility in the view is highly desirable. Ill be using the jumper t8sg. Thank you

[madmonkey]

go what's a good begginers race fpv quad ready to fly with transmitter, cheers

[Maharja]

can you review the qx95 sir? I am thinking of its purchase however I am unsure whether it is a good option for a micro fpv quad.

[markvandesande]

Nice and nice work as usual. 😃Please may i hijack your post with a uk unmanned petition just one post?

[jimawhitaker]

Are you using a seperate reciever for recording the flight? because there are sometimes drop outs that don't seem to effect your flight.

[TheAarowsmith]

Another question how to setup fail safe for flyaway protection? And how to setup cut off switch for motors protection?

[misterinfinity]

What's the best, cheapest beginners quadcopter?

[RCDroneStudio]

Do you know how wide or narrow the lens view is?

[BrosTiTo]

do you think that the drones would be good for a beginner ?

[natedogg]

Have you flown the cheerson cx 117 it's runs on 2s it's fast too ck it out..

[marcusgoh]

quadcopter 101 can you tell us how to bind the deviation VEVO 10 with this mini quadcopter and with mode/type to buy.TKS😃😅

[TheAarowsmith]

I also heard that the carbon fiber frame has numerous cut outs and is thinner than it should be, hence why many owners are reporting broken arms etc. in small crashes.
Why Eachine does not beef up this frame is beyond me. If I bought this I would double up the frame & get slightly longer screws. I don't know if that would work? Anyone?

[robertgardiner]

good video .your needing set of sharks goggle

[juliussalovaara]

I bought the RTF version of this. If I buy a BNF model will I be able to use the radio of the RTF set? It came with a flysky fsi6 sooo... can I bind it with another BNF model or is it set to the model it came with?

[jaimielibbi]

does the x5c-1 have headless mode please

[eightyechdee]

Hello, Umm hopefully someone could give me some insight. I received the BNF version for FrySky. Everything binded with my Taranis QX7 and I was flying in 20 mins of getting it. I wanted to change the rates and change the OSD and now I cannot get it to see my Taranis. It says it is binded and my Taranis does notify me when the BAT is unplugged from the battery. However, BetaFlight is all set to what the manual says. Yes, my computer has the drivers, (Wizard 220) and yes D8 is set in my Taranis. I am just confused as hell with this. Any insight? Thank you!
