G+_Erik Ellsinger Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I remember Padre showing a 250 quad frame with angled motor mounts and I was wondering if I could use that for the 250 FPV build? And also does anyone have a link to where I could buy that frame because I can't find the KH episode where it was mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think Padre said he printed some spacers that let you tilt the motors on any frame. He said he was printing extras, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone sells a wedge commercially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Erik Ellsinger Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah I remember that too but there also was a frame like the 250 frame from hobbyking with angled motor mounts that you could buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 From a geometry stand point, you should use 2 shims per motor. One on either side of the arm.Otherwise the screw head has a very small contact area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Whitworth Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Unfortunately, Hobby King doesn't sell the "Upswept 260 Frame" with the long frame addon, but you can buy them separately. http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__75953__HobbyKing_FPV260_Up_Swept_Mini_Quad_Copter_KIT_.html http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__56663__HobbyKing_FPV250_Racer_Long_Frame_Upgrade_kit.html Too bad they are only available from the International Warehouse. I need to order those and some batteries, but shipping batteries internationally is REALLY expensive. Even just the frame and the extension kit is $30 with shipping. I'm about to order parts for the KH 250, except with the upswept frame, and a Flip32 for the flight controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Whitworth Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Oh, hey, I was just browsing down below, and I found this site that sells the 260 frame with the top plate for cheaper than Hobby King. Not sure about shipping though. http://www.myrcmart.com/rcx-fpv260-with-upgraded-top-frame-glass-fiber-p-8777.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Erik Ellsinger Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks for the links Nick Whitworth ! I will have to look at the shipping and see if it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
