Please! Watch the beginning of this video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbN0eKdnz5eReZc.html) to see two important changes you should make in this build.

I learned something today, but wasn't informed that I will.

I saw you in my dream. We were flying together and you taught me a lot of things. Well it might be the effect of me watching your videos all day.

You should come back to Georgia Tech for some racing! We just recently got approved to host races in the Burger Bowl!

I'm Early. Hi Joshua Sir (if you are reading this)! You really are a great teacher!

Awesome video, and Thankyou for the support! Can’t wait to see you out on the track!

Thanks for the endless help and information. I have a few soldering tips as someone who is JSTD-001ES certified. You shouldn't need to add flux. The problem is that you tinned the ESC pads with too much solder. The extra solder creeped down the wires and also limited the amount of solder you could add during the actual soldering of the joint in order to avoid totally overfilling it . Not adding enough fresh solder is why you found you didn't have enough flux from the solder and had to add flux. Tin the pads much thinner and you'll find you won't need to add flux and you won't get the solder creeping down the wires.

11:46 Everyone, if you make use of this file, please do it with the part submerged in water, because inhaling carbon dust can be really bad for your health.

I just bought some parts from Evan last weekend and built one myself. I love the switchback config... and bruh, those motors are some beasts!!

Am I gonna learn something today, Joshua??

the red tape rage is real. you are triggering my OCD. thank you JB.

Great build man I like the way you troubleshoot on camera instead of some how magically everything goes perfect like most build videos lol

These build videos are great! Thank you for sharing!

I love watching a master at work

Nothing like a perfect fit. Files are nice for superior frames

Soft mounted a cap brilliant

Ghost hybrid video soon!! Thumbs up for that!

I'ved learned something today! Great video JB.

Looks so simple when you do it!

so happy to see this video. great job!

Great video. I just picked up a racer too, definitely like that frame! Nice work 💯❤️

I was wondering what build you would be using at the race. Got my answer and a build video. Sweet. 💖🤓

Dang, I'm going to swap the action camera mount on my Crux35 with a shark fin - that's awesome. I installed the ViFly Finder Mini in my Crux35 while I watched this. Thanks!

Hey Josh, cool video, as always! Make small cut-outs in the battery pad to make the scews accessible! ;-)

🔋 pad you put on the bottom, I use a hole puncher or like a belt hole punch and make the holes the size of the head of the screws so you can tighten or remove the screws latter without out removing the 🔋 protector.

This video makes me want to get in to FPV. Looks so simple to build, but I know nothing about the tech side of it. Good video! You got yourself a new sub.

LOL.. Love the start of the vid JB 😁👍

so cool that u building a drone and im going to watch lol thank u. my firts kwad i build it because of ur videos the second i bouth it the sedora and now i own more or less between ten and eleven kwads thanks to u.

that hole in the mid plate you used for the capacitor zip tie is for that reason exactly!

why do i feel like you're always speaking directly to me?!! lol good stuuf as usual

Those MT30 plugs are so cool, new to me.

Jeez JB! Great close up video.

I use the hybrid tramp/ghost Rx. It's awesome

I learned about flux back when i started building drag slot car chassis...flux is an amazing chemical!

I understand that Nurk also used a connector from esc to motor which he says saves motors and esc from burning up in a hard crash due to the disconnect on impact.

Simply the best intron on the channel ever 😄

Thank you!! I Now know my build 👍🏼

Great video👍 I always learn something today😉😄

I’ve been out of the hobby for a couple of years due to work overseas and there seems to be so much new stuff. Could you do a video recap of the biggest innovations and trends?

Awesome cant wait

Looking forward to seeing your betaflight setup video .

When using these connectors, you could have soldered the wires from the underside of the esc where the cables go under the esc so you don't have them hanging around outside

It came out nice and if u need to change the direction of the motor now with m90 u dont need to dissolder just unplug and turn it and plug it again and that that cool.

LOL .... Love the Tape. Bring it!!!

I like the tape! I use white personally

Hilarious intro, JB. Had me LMAO. You da best!

Thanks I learned that I want that friggin flux pin xD Didn't think it would make that much difference! :O

Haha good one , 4 years later and still learning from you bro.. I’m building this one as I am the slowest pilot In Redding California.

I killed a redux ESC and I never ever kill ESCs - the layers split very easily. Prob just a one-off - Great frame BTW!!

17:10 is why i bought a 5 pack of those pens. soooo convenient!

Please do the same build but with a Caddx Vista and let's see if you get better or worse times. Analog= lightweight/fuzzy. Digital= heavyweight/clarity. I wonder if seeing better will make up for the weight difference. My guess is that digital will give you better times even with the extra weight. Personally I feel that digital allows for me to see further into the future. Fly Great!

I'd cut the gummy to the shape of the base plate and drill apertures so I can see the screws with paint or thin cut tape to see if the screws are walking out.

great soldering skills

Hi Josh Great video on your own build, I have to admit I'm jealous. I just finished a build of my new 6s 4in. I really like this one you did , Maybe someday I will try out ghost, But until then I might just try out the frame. Can't wait to see more video on this one.

Thanks again bruvva!

good clear video m8

Champion !

Twisting the motor wires may help reduce EMF radiation. A ferrite ring over them will help further.

you are teasing us! Where is the new perfect freestyle build! lol good video, thanks for the guide.

One tip, if you use those connectors for motors - mark the ESC connector part that the top will always be the top. When you rotate it I when replacing the arm you will change the motor direction spin.

I think the redux ESC look- and specwise is like a Successor to the Lumenier Mini Razor Pro 4in1 20x20 F3 ESC that i am flying since september last year. I only managed to kill one of them out of my pack of racers so far.... pretty damn robust with the full size Fets. I also added 15 x 100uF Ceramic capacitors to the two solder rails on the bottom of the mini razor.

You are hilarious 😆 thank you Sir! 🤌🏼

Omg that tip about plugging the empty connector in... So obvious but, dang. Have definitely been super frustrated at myself before for doing it backwards. And then the connection is never as good when you fix it

If you aren't using the blue TELEM wire, then why couldn't you have connected the green Serial wire to T3 instead of running it all the way across the board to T2?

Just buy a set of round leatherworking punches to make holes for screw access in battery pads, it’s such an easy solution :)

YES! Red tape = more power.

Nice! What about a video making one for long-range? Thanks!

If I didn’t buy expensive ass shit I wouldn’t use it as much! I know it sounds stupid but your rant to begin with is actually so so true for me personally! Thanks again for an awesome video

Nice ending lol!!

When will you do your perfect freestyle build?

Hard core focus

Nice!

Awesome build, this frame is built like a flippin tank. I would be a little concerned about the ESC wires running directly over the gyro. Not twisting them and running them underneath the FC might be better. Also, the amount of solder for the motor and battery leads is a little excessive. Less is actually better, electricly and mechanicly. I, too, used to leave some slack in the motor wires but ended up never using it (I'm using race wire) so I switched to cutting them short.

yeah I have always used liquid flux. People either never use it or use plumbers flux. it drives me nuts!

intro == on-point

That intro made me laugh hard... Great video jb

To access that difficult screw, use a low profile phillips wrench.... if one that thin exists; If not, create it...

I agree at the beginning lol I felt the same way lol

Hilarious intro.... relatable 🤣.

add a throttle cap, start at 70%. try H7 falco x baby.

3:30 the rigs AUW is no less than 460g with a 3s battery on board.

Dude, I wanna see you fly this thing already.

I am pretty sure that Drew is going to love that Red electrical tape 🥴

Josh! I know you get unwanted advice about how you build all the time, and I'm probably not even the first to mention this so I am sorry! When you are soldering at 21:33 you really should let the whole mass of solder come back up to temperature & become liquid again before you let off the heat. That seam between where it re-flowed and where it stayed solid is a cold joint and can crack. Love ya bud, I think you have the best drone content in the business

Maybe cut two holes in the umagrip with a craft knife so you can get to the screws in center?

@Joshua Bardwell those battery pads were so shiny i could literally see your face in them! Especially the positive one xD

Looking from sideways, it seems like there is a good space under the ESC. Woudn't be better to pass the ESC-FC connecting wires from there? It would open up some space between FC and VTX, for better cooling of the VTX, less vibrations on the FC gyros??? 🤔

Best Blair witch ever.

That’s it! I am building another drone after saying I was done!!!

Love how you troll the trolls! I say use the red tape in more areas!

Wait, people _don't_ like the red electrical tape? That's an odd thing to complain about. I think it looks good! Also it's your build, do what you want!

you might of said it in the video but what arms did you get the SFG, lite or longback?

Great vid. Cant you sell a kit with everything in it? Or recommend a completed kit with receiver and goggles radio so you can set up and fly as a beginner

Josh, could you use a paper hole punch through the battery pad to maintain the ability to access those lower frame screws?

Hello and thank you for helping me though the learning process, all of it, not just this build. Would the Redux32 F4Nano be a good alternative if the F3 is still out of stock?

you should wash that flux off afterwards. its residue is conductive

Nice build Joshua, thx for sharing it! how about the weight of the drone, could you please tell us? thx!

Which arm version did you use? SFG, Lite or Longback?

Thank you for the make the nice information video for us. I think you're good at making it neatly and delicately. I had one more question about the build video. why don't you use aio board instead of using fc and esc stec?. I think you can reduce space and weight a lot...

that last part : joshu what did u take u probably in ur backyard xd
