G+_Steve C Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I keep seeing ads for this Walkera drone from Banggood on the web. Can someone tell me why this model is so expensive? $542 seems awfully high for one that doesn't even have a GPS. Also it looks a lot like that worthless Quanum Venture that I got that would never fly! http://www.banggood.com/Walkera-Furious-320-5_8G-1080P-HD-Camera-OSD-CFP-Modular-Design-FPV-Racer-with-DEVO7DEVO10-p-1021500.html http://www.banggood.com/Walkera-Furious-320-5_8G-1080P-HD-Camera-OSD-CFP-Modular-Design-FPV-Racer-with-DEVO7DEVO10-p-1021500.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=crc-rqRMnew-furious320&utm_content=nydia&utm_design=5&gclid=CITw47b9x8oCFUiBfgod92cAow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 It says you have to get the $647 Basic 2 version to even get GPS! Isn't it about $300 or more over priced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mr covert Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 A carbon racer with GPS... No simply no. That's not a feature that makes a good racer. Naze32-borisB-S.Bus does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 It supposedly weights 810 grams WITHOUT the battery but only has 6 1/2" props! It won't be able to get off the ground either unless they are turning REALLY, REALLY FAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Wayne it's not tilting motors, they claim variable pitch props in the specs but that's not true. Look at the photo, they are just regular props. Also the claimed 810 gram weight is probably just for the frame with nothing else on it. Looks like the video is a fake, I doubt the thing will even fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott W Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Steve C You really need to do a bit of research before you knock a product. The motors do tilt, they call it variable pitch. There are 3 available models, 2 with GPS. Many videos online showing it fly and the tilt motor operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve C Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 There's no way that heavy thing could even get off the ground having just 6 1/2" props! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eric Kolesnikovas Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 So what would be the recommended racer drone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
