Anyone building their own Drones ?

Featured Replies

Cleaning out the RC cabinet, all RTF are getting trashed, unless someone actually wants, as I'm tired of looking at them collect dust. That would be all the small brushed motor quad, hex, that I have no batteries for, and not worth buying again.

Now on to the DIY drones, brushless motors, also don't have batteries for, but if you are still building drones, would compliment any chop shop for parts. Hex on 550mm from, quads on 450mm frame, with plenty of spare parts, motors, couple ESC, and a remote to operate them. Have 2 camera gimbals, that need tweeking. Cheap Eachine one, and X380 quad one, intact.

Example of own of my builds: F550 / 2212 kv920 / simonk 30A / FlySky rx/tx / CC3D

Free to anyone that wants. I wouldn't turn down a bottle of Bailey's, but yea, free if wanting, just let me know ASAP, as they'll be headed to the bin soon.

I would be interested please don't

bin them

I have a flysky FX-16-X controler so anything directly compatible would be of particular interest.

More than welcome to anything. This is the controller I use for DIY crafts, not sure what protocol it uses, and very basic, never updated or changed, if even possible. Welcome to it / controller also, does have one twitchy switch, but works fine.

Have 2 quads, 1 hex built, may need a motor or esc swapped out to fly. Have spare motors and bits & bobs, most I forget even what they are or what for; brushed & brushless.

Last liter bottle I bought was about 1000 +/-, so a bit more now probably. I like the sound of 2, got a nice ring to it.

Besides whats on the 3 complete crafts, all use same motors & ESCs and controller, I think I have a box, set of 4 motors, if not more, in another box in the storage room somewhere. Like I said, would compliment any chop shop for parts.

Ran out of batteries, so haven't used any for a few years.

Scratch that box of 4 motors, unless another box in another container somewhere 🙄

A lot of RTF brushed motor craft spare parts crap, about useless. But DIY crafts have 14 motors & ESC mounted, and at most, 3 faulty, as I know I didn't fly one or 2, due to needing a motor or ESC swap out, that I never got around to. All other components, FC, good with some spares; frame, legs, props. All flew till I ran out of batteries.

Let me know if wantiing.

Last time the 2 DIY were airborne was 5 yrs ago, and worked fine then. Didn't realize I've had the other 2 vid drones that long. Still have & fly, but retired since I got the FIMI Mine 3
