Nice to see a new video Bob ! :) I mentioned to someone those low-kv Smoox motors might be nice for a light 6".. right? :) Should be a nice project but yep.. who has the time

Great to have you back Bob. Can’t wait for a restock on the products!

I'm not so late, but glad ur still here! all new stuff is great!

Very interesting! Glad to see you posting again, I always enjoy the discussions.

Welcome back Bob! 🙂 Great to see you are still experimenting & thank you for sharing your insights. 🙏🏼

Happy to see that you’re back, I’m looking forwards for the upcoming videos 👍

Subbed a while ago after trying some of your motors that have become my daily fliers and super stoked to see you back on here putting out more quality content. Thoroughly enjoy your research and analysis and look forward to seeing more.

You truly are a mad scientist Bob. I’ve missed your videos of theory, trial and errors. Your outside of the box thinking keeps me wanting more. Thank you

I am really happy that you are back! I missed your amazing quads and flying and I can't wait to see what you will create next! I would really love to get some of the motors because my friend just started out in fav a couple of months ago and he is ready to upgrade to a 5" quad but docent have the money to do so and if I could get the 1750kv set of motors I would build him up a quad and I am 100% certain that he would love it and use it every day! Thanks and I just also wanted to say as a 13 year old pilot who has been flying for just under a year now, you area HUGE inspiration to me fr building insane quads and trying out new things! Thanks!

Very happy to see you back making content. Life has had me out of the norm for a while too. I still fly often but haven't had time to be active in the groups. Looking forward to seeing where you take your designs, brother. Welcome back.

Ohh Buddy! so good to have you back ! great to get the in depth on what you've been up to.

Glad to see you back at it mate , we missed you had to start doing research on my own ":D Keep it up bro i know we all busy people ! thanks for your inputs on all the things you do ! Super valued in this community!

HAH! Someone was just asking where you had been a day or two ago! Welcome back, we missed ya! Looking forward to you’re coming content. =)

Glad to see ya back.

I’m always trying to improve my efficiency and speed for chasing @ShelbyVoll and his wings for our videos. Always curious to see what you come up with. I broke my 7 inch and I have been recently chasing him with my 5 inch rig. Thanks 🙏 for what you do and come up with.

Glad to see you back! Love your content

No worries Bob, many of us have encountered this thing you call life particularly since Covid. We appreciate your unique thinking and development of FPV products, as much of that you are able to provide out of your busy world.

Great to see that you are back at it! I actually checked your channel the other day because I where missing your videos 😘

Welcome back…you were missed!

Welcome back! Glad to hear you are ok.

Great to see you again, sure have missed your content!

OH MY GODD THE MANS HERE Hope you have enough time to do what you enjoy!

So happy to see you back Bob!!!

Great info Bob. I love your experiments and drive bro. Cheers!

Brilliant video! Sometimes life outside KZfaq takes priority, no worries, always here waiting patiently for your next upload.👍

Welcome back to KZfaq! I think I can speak for everyone when I say we missed your input!

The moment I Saw the notification for this video I had a smile on my face 😀

Great to see you back! 👍👍

Bob! Holy shit ya made my morning 😁 been flying FPVCycle motors on all my quads (3", 5", 7", 8", x4, x6, x8, blah blah blah) for a few months now & been very happy with the performance 👌🏼 miss ya thanks for the update!

Right on time! I was just chasing fast things last weekend and was thinking I needed a different set up for efficiency and longer flight times bc I missed a couple moments having to land and change my battery. Looking forward to what you come out with next kabab, cheers!

Great to see you back!

I am so glad to see you come back, as an engineer your videos just resonate with me and I cant get enough of them. I can't believe you've got Smoox 1750kv motors! That is the perfect motor for me, from my testing I have found that I prefer lower kv for the way I fly, 1700kv felt too extreme, 1900kv felt too much and 1750kv felt right on the money, it gave a little more low end throttle control over 1700kv whilst still giving me very good feeling and proximity precision. The smoox motor is the best one I have tested so far but the high kv makes it unsuitable, I can fly it but I just miss that grunt of the low kv, so to see that motor at 1750kv is perfection. I would obviously like to win them, I cant say I would do anything fancy with them but they would absolutely be going on a 5" and I can say from my testing they will become my main quads motors until I break them and cant replace them. I would even offer to buy them off you. PS. The Sonicare is SUCH a good looking quad!

Glad you are back!

Missed your content. Welcome back

Good to see you back!

So friggin glad to see you back in the game K 😉. You inspire me my dude. Send stuff my way. you won't regret it.

Good to see you back.

Really appreciate what you do for our hobby.

Awsome to see you back on youtube 👌

We've missed you. Glad to see you back.

Good to see you back

Good to have you back Bob. I'm interested in the lower kv motors to build a fast 7 inch to chase drag racers. I can keep up with a 5 inch, but I have to dive the starting line, it's incredible the acceleration those monsters have. I'm trying to build a quad that has, a little more punch, and a higher top speed, I believe their hitting 100-150 in the 1/8 miles. My goal is to take off a hair after they take off, but beat them to the end to get a shot from the front of the finish. I know it's going to have to be really fast to accomplish this. I also would like to help test anything you would want built with a set, and give feedback. I been around for about 4 years, (Papadoc fpv before the name change) glad to have you back.

Welcome back Bro. You've been missed 😎

Not even joking but I was watching last video last night and was wondering when you were going to upload next and here we are. Enjoy the videos! Gonna have to get some of your 5 inch motors directly from you since we don't have anyone that sells them here in NZ yet. Might get some of those 7inch motors as well. They look great!

Welcome back mate, we have missed you a lot! Here you could have a volunteer to try all you need, unfortunatly im not having job atm so i can dedicate my full time for the hobbie and i would apriciate a lot to help you😊

thanks for the useful information, i have been curious about octo setups myself and this has saved me a ton of money and time lol

Glad you’re back

Missed u bob! Glad to see u back. I myself havne taken a bit of time slowed down

Hey Bob! Good to see ya!😎👍

The Y6 is just plain cool. Welcome back.

Would love a set of the motors for a 6's long range. I've got everything for the build but the frame and motors, looking to make it light as possible to carry as much battery as possible. Really glad you're back making videos even if at a slower pace, great content!

Great stuff.... glad you are catching us up. Be sure to floss bro.

It’s good to see you back! If I got those motors I would love to mill myself a very lightweight 7 or 8” toothpick for ultralight and efficient fun.

Hey Bob nice to see yo rippin again!!!!! Talking about motors I struggle a lot with keeping up with high speed targets just like cars and boats ,birds and mountain cruising is also something that would look good at high speed I am still in process of designing new frames heavily inspired by DAVE C's old designs and AOS7 your motors would go on perfectly with them I guess.

Good to see ya fella.

I was very excited to see this video pop up. It has been far too long :)

So awesome to see a new video from you! Looking forward to more. I really like the look of the neon motors. No other manufacturers to my knowledge make brightly colored motors. I'd love to see a neon pink or blue as well.

Finally Kabob is back!!! Its nice to hear some new insights from you. I would like to get some motors (who does not?!). I would like to build a custom tubular quad (similar to Timmy RC) but with some tweaks to the general design and the motor mounts. Its just gonna be fun no matter what ;)

Welcome back!!

Good to see you back. Hopefully for good this time. Notice in your last few videos you said the same thing but we all get it. I stop making videos as well but still fly daily or as much as i can.

I hope you flossed while you’ve been away! Welcome back!

Glad to have another video to learn from the best! I would love to build that 5 inch sonicare frame!

Good to have you back my friend. I would love to build a 6" set up that I've been planning to build with my son. The 1750s would be great in my opinion. We are looking to build this to film my brother dirt bike events. I've also been getting into cad (construction background) and playing around with making my own 5" frame. Still in the beginning stages of sketches but would love to try them out on that as well. Keep up the great work brotha, we are all lucky to have you in the community.

Love your stuff and glage to see you back. Also the old x rig is a beast. I'm interested in the 23mm motors to try on my octo too. I could use the old imperial too for a 6in idea.

Hi Bob, this is for a set of your motors 😁😁😁. I've been out of quad building for few years. I keep up with the news but I have a half built quad that stopped because if a bad motor and I can use your motors to restart that build. Anyways good to see you back.

Welcome back!

Heyyy welcome back man!

Good to see. Cheers :)

The plus config at the end looks very cool and promising! I was even thinking on smaller props (and motors) for rolling since whoops don't need that much agility. Then, get the true performance from the larger props front and back. It would also make it more compact for smaller gaps (lateral), an less noisy since props wouldn't overlap as much

Nice to have u back my man. Weve missed ya. Id love to take any of those motors. Im almost done making my first video for my channel im starting called FrankenQuadChopShop. My first video is actually gonna be about my first Frankenquad i made which is a 2s TP3, but what made this one unique is i used a tinyhawk freestyle AIO board, took some effort to get on the tp3 frame, but my god it was glorious and im sure is litterally the only one made. I have a few other builds comming up that although people may not want to build it, theyll be glad i did and made a video about it so they could enjoy it. I usually do smaller builds, but have 4s batteries and such. I would love the chance and opportunity to do u proud and make somthing fantastical. What i can say is all my builds involve using things that arnt ment to go together, taking what i have and making it into somthing awesome and unique. I cant say more than that cause id like a couple days to really think it to life. I love your content and work u do for us all, i hope u decide to give me a shot on this, u will not be disappointed.

Welcome back !!!!!!!!

yeah hey man, welcome back! ^^

Hi Bob, great to see you posting again! Interesting findings as always! I'm a 15 yo fpv pilot and I have been working on a new design of an ultra lightweight and low drag 6" drone to keep up with full scale aircraft. So far I have been flying my fr7 long range drone, but it tops out at around 80 witch isn't quite enough to keep up with some of the aircraft I want to chase. Would love to test out a set of those motors on the frame!

I would like to try a 6 motor "H" build... As in 3 motors in parallel on each side and see if there is any benefit/downsides to adding an extra motor in between a normal quad "H" design. More like a sideways "H" really so no props in view like the old lynx frames from the 2019's. just got a CNC router and need to assemble and any of these motors would get me going in the right direction... Good to see you back on here Bob. I absolutely love your videos and got excited when I seen you posted today!!! Hell yea man, can't wait for the next one now I know it's coming!!

Need fast quad ? would recommend light 5-5.2" with some more aggressive props, big batteries (~nearly twice the usual size) and naked gopro.

Holy cow batman! Interesting indeed! Welcome back

I built a Octo 3" but had to lose the ducts and used a bumpers, it ended up a little to heavy. Keep the video's coming..

hey there, nice to see that you are still alive ;) I guess I´d be interested in the 1550kv motors, as I thought a lot about building a 6" octo in order to carry my naked BMPCC4k , maybe even make it a ducted kwad, who know´s if that might work better 🤷‍♀ (well yeah, that way I might finally be able to take um some more professional work before turning major which would be another dream come true^^) cheers, and good luck from germany for your next projects :D

Glad to see you back, Bob! 😃 About the motors, I would probably try to build a light 5" for 4s long range... That's something I've been thinking about. But don't add me in the giveaway, shipping anything down here from there is really expensive. 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Hey Bob, I am actually experimenting with my 7 inch X8 Rekon. I am running 2004 motors (totally over propped). So far going really well, running a 4S LiIon 4000mah pack, with a Hero 8 on top. The entire build is under 1kg. Loving the X8 sound and feel so far,

Glad you're back! Some very nice battery straps on that X8 ;) For increasing cruising speed I believe a major factor is the drag of the battery and main body. One way to solve this would be to tilt the main body closer to the angle the craft will have while going in fast forward flight. Oscar from MadKwads

I just started flying ur Sonicare frame with zing2 2207 1855kv and I just love it. Im running the same moters and setup mostly on my AOS 5 v2 and yet I like the way the Sonicare Flys a little bit better. Its lighter and feels More locked in... I wanted to fly a set of ur 6s moters on there but they've been out of stock for so long. Anyway thank you for all ur innovations

With everything getting a little sketchy with RMID and all that. I’m wanting to build me a a sub 250 5” and those motors would get put to use on that. I love the innovativeness. You should get with Derek over at KinFPV. He’s got a wonderful brain too. Nice video man. Keep up the good work. Glad ur back!

interesting; I am in the process of building a 450 "Dead Cat" from the old days, with modern equipment, for the same extended flight reasoning, sorta. My goal was to chase a fixed wing from takeoff to landing, a 2-3 LiPo affair with my 5" fleet. I plan on Molicel 21700's in a 4s2p (and up) config, as those cells have rejuvenated all of my fixed-wing fleet. Looking forward to seeing more/learning more. Thanks!

Babs back. Hello legend !!

Wowzers, you’re alive lol!!! Finally haha

Bob is BACK... I almost freaking died.

Awesome to see you back hopefully that means a restock of the baby tooth soon 🙃 I think the motors u r giving away would be interesting to put on a 5 or 6inch y6 which is something I have been wanting to create for a while as I have an unhealthy obsession with weird quads. I currently have a y4 3inch, a 2inch hex with overlapping motors, and a 3inch “bone drone” (4 props with two on each end of a sticklike frame). It would be great to add another unique beast to my collection

Oh, the 2" ducted octo looks interesting, might have to design a frame myself :)

Never apologize for living your life. Sometimes taking a break allows one to look at things differently. Mabey some new things will come of it.

Would love to use the motors on my upcoming Y6 chase build! Will use it for motocross chasing and rally chasing :D!

I have been working on an entirely 3d printed tpu material frame and looking for a motor that would give me better efficiency but still have the robust power I need to make it perfect for freestyle. It's running a mamba 75 amp race esc and a mamba mk2 fc. It's currently running dys motors but I know there is more room for improvement. Thanks kabab for everything you do in the fpv community. Your work really makes me think about what kind of innovations and improvements I can come up with to contribute to the community. 🤟

Great to see you back Bob! That carbon layup where you optimize its orientation, will you be doing that for the glide frame too?

Welcome again🇧🇷

Took a tolerance break from fpv as well. Really cool experiments with the X8. Would like to see a toothpick scale version for the heck of it. Currently running 5s with 2150 kv motors but would be interested in building a semi lightweight 6 inch with those 1880kv motors. I think I would get good efficiency out of them running biblades and can achieve higher cruising speeds. Only thing is I only have 1550 mah 5s lipos so flight time would be around 5-6 minutes. Need to find a lightweight 6inch frame that is still durable enough for high stress flying.

well as much as id love the bigger motors i dont fly anything but micros being a cancer survivor twice over I was left with a brain tumor and a seizure disorder and unable to work so I now live on a very small fixed income and in all honesty just cant afford to fly bigger quads no more not that i dont wanna its i really cant i have a hard enough time keeping my 3 in and smaller quads in the air. the 2 inch octo would definitely be up my alley as i have nothing but time and i love to tinker and work my brain out. so if ya ever need any help in the micro,whoop,toothpick,twig class stuff id be 100% willing and very thankful to do what ever i could to help. thanks for all you do Bob i have been following your channel for years now the naz32 board is how i found you and have been hooked ever since cause you go above and beyond to try to change the game as we know it and i truly admire you for that so again thank you Bob for all you do

Thanks for share!

I love your input on prop performance, If you ever have time for or care to do more remember you always have an audience that would love to listen. Im senior in college for drone design (k state Salina) and im so glad to hear you want to get back into youtube. Have you ever considered livestreaming? I Think your audience (myself included) would love to have an opportunity to ask you questions get updates on anything you can think of. Keep flying

Your back :)

Left off playing with 10inch and went to 6s on 3115 and 640kv motors for a cruiser. Goal was to rebuild with 8s ESCs to make use of plentiful 4s packs to run in series to put me back around a 900kv range for performance. 900-1050kv on 6s with a 10inch was a rocketship but I ran into tuning issues I could not fully tune out, probably filtering issues. At 640kv I was locked in and immediately happy. Went back to playing with the cars instead of FPV after starting to play with something stupid large.
