I built a 12S fpv miniquad that runs at 50 volts and sounds INSANE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- So I was out running the other day and i had this crazy idea - what if I could take some components that I had lying around and make a drone that could run off of 12s, instead of just the measly 6s that they currently run on. I wasn't sure whether or not it would work, and I knew there would definitely be challenges to making it not blow up on 12 cell voltage (that's 50v). It turned out absolutely insane and I'm stoked to share it with you!

Try out some 6.5mm or 8mm Bullet connectors instead of xt60, I'm genuinely curious how many more amps you can pull or even if it will improve in efficiency.
I been wanting to do an 8s 5 inch build, but this is cool, cant wait for 7 inch props
what is the white box with the screen on the side of the goggles?
8:35 I use this type of regulator fo one of my 6S quads. Very versatile and powerful. www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DC-DC-12-24V-To-5V-3A-Adjustable-Step-Down-Power-Module-Buck-Converter/283665654115
@@shanetillery254 Its an Immersion RC Powerplay battery pack, monitor, and twice as good of a recorder as fatshark goggles for about 90 bucks. Got one, and I like it a lot.
Next project: deliver a 24s 3” micro-quad to orbit on a single punch-out.
Right
What props could handel that lol
Avan Props
There's no air in the troposphere
@@pipercolt1963 Not with that attitude there isn't
Some FPV pilots: Dang, my quad is loud. Wonder how I can make it quieter so I don't disturb people while I fly.
Nurk: 12s monster that sounds like a freaking jet!
Haha awesome man!
Homer Simpson buying a gun. "What's this do?"
Gunshop Owner, "oh that's the loudener"
@Gregory Dahl most people like guns too...
Just get some 8 Blades propeller
Sooo glad you kept the prop direction mistake in your video. Thanks for reminding us that even DRL champions make the same mistakes we do. Stay humble, stay authentic, stay honest. Thanks Nurk!
next step after that, 220V, and after that directly connected to High Tension cables XD
Ha ha..That would be so cool..recharging from 120KV lines. Tesla would be proud.
i do it lol
@@leegenix haha Tesla wanted the same, to power aeroplanes from ground stations
@@smoke4131 Were those stations the static electricity stations. That would be insanely cool.
@@leegenix next step telecharging current
THIS IS PHENOMENAL!
those 12s ESC's are amazing.
I know this is an old video but still. wow
Don’t worry I comment on 11 year old flite test videos 😅
No problems flying through trees----just cut through like a chainsaw.
Yep...Make full titanium blades and go.
How crazy is it that both @quadmovr and I happened to put out a 12s drone on the same day? I SWEAR WE DIDN'T PLAN THIS! ua-cam.com/video/5Q5hYYLc004/v-deo.html
17:09 when youre so frustrated that you turn german for a second :D
Ahhaha ehre
Yes!
Check out 16:16 that sound
ist die beste scene :D
Scheiße
I love how he said „Scheisse“ (german for „shit“) at 17:10 😂😂❤️🔥
Jesus, I'm so glad I found your channel but sad that I'm just finding it. You're an amazing drone pilot! Keep that shit up bro!
Thats so crazy, when i first showed intrest in this hobby, 3s was the standard. Now one ever thought a 12s would be possible.
I love how you and Quadmvr did a 12s drone upload around the same time :D
Quadmovr 😉
Nurk, I love the ingenuity of this. The willingness to experiment while teetering on the edge of potentially frying everything is awesome! I like experiments that force you to sit back and say “Well, whatever happens happens.” “Let’s try it and find out.” Thanks for this video and thanks for pushing the boundaries out a bit further for future builds. Keep it up! ✌️
Need a gps so we can get a top speed
@joshua broughton-herrick bingo
It sounds nuts, but I'm sure it's not really that fast. maybe 110mph... maybe
@Feelin' FPV pretty sure you could calculate it from that one speed run he did
@@chrismawson4430 I was going to say 200mph
@@mattweger437 Lol, not even close. That frame is way too fat
Hahaha so glad you left the part in where you put two props on wrong! 😆 sounds gnarly though man! So much fun!!
you are so happy doing this, amazing to see
That sound immediately makes you smile and giddy. That was wild, man.
This is a great video. I love the way you take us through the whole process, ups and downs. I know nothing about quads and still loved this project. Your passion for this hobby is there for all to see. I salute you sir!
Who else was cringe at how much loose small bits of metal was on his bench? I was expecting his regulator to short when he tested it at 12:15 Actually really glad it didn't. But never say never right? Best of luck Nurk. Call that 12S quad the Nurk merc 😁
Yo Nurk... you made my day bro. That was awesome! :D
Glad I can help! Stay safe and stay flying!
@@NURKFPV unfortunately here in Scotland we are on lockdown :( I've setup a whoop track in the back garden and keeping the muscle memory on the sim. You are an inspiration ❤️
Keep experimenting dude!! Watching you get excited about stuff like this is like watching a kid at christmas... so funny!! plus seeing just how far we can push the technology may usher in some new ideas that could be insanely cool! Good job on the video as usual, look forward too your next frankenstein moment !!
As soon as you said "chooched", I instantly thought of AvE
Me too.
I instantly thought of 1puglife
AvE is who i want to be when i grow up
I was reading this comment as he said chooch lol
Very very cool and it's amazing how you can fly like that and not hit anything. I can't even see that fast. I enjoyed seeing how much fun you were having and it's clear that you know what you're doing. Keep having fun and stay safe!
Dude that thing is crazy. I wanna see/hear it on 7".
You are the ONLY ONE of the “better known” dudes in the field that is REAL! You have no problems putting your failures and fuckups for all to see. A build went bad or a quad got all fucked up… you put it in the video. All others are fakes who edit these things like people care. I like how you roll dude keep the shit up!
I love when pro pilots are bored. This is the cool stuff we get
Schnurr - shhhhh
Tha'ts absolutely INSANE and amazing bro! Thanks for all they's awesome video's! :)
The reverse mounted go-pro really bugs me a lot . You can’t see whet he’s looking? Why would you do that lol. Great video and first 12s quad I’ve seen!
infamasgam3r did you watch the whole video? He only has it backwards testing in his yard
Leedleedle yes I did, the rest was great
@@blacklangster1141 hes flying it line of sight so the video looks best backwards
Oh how times have changed. Used to be that you couldn't go out to fly without five sets of props; now you can feel free to leave without even a prop tool. Love how you're pushing the limits of quad builds!
The story of my life... "I'm a drone expert!" Then...without fail... 16:58. 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
The dog was the best part of this video. Not dissing on the rest of the video just that shadow black derp machine stole my heart
You could have taken whatever voltage you want from the balance plug of one of the 6 cells to power the fc and video system. aside from that, nice experiment.
I thought about that, but I was worried about the connections remaining solid -- like what if it accidentally came unplugged etc.
@@NURKFPV clip...
@@NURKFPV just pull power from one of the lipo's main connectors. Then you get 25v instead of 50v and you don't have to mess with the balance plug.
And you can get spark protected xt90 plugs. Get rid of the pops when you plug in.
That would drain one cell more than the others though
@@letsgofast1187 true, but the power draw from fc, rx, vtx and cam combined is tiny. A vtx pulls 0.60 amps on 5v, thats 0.12 amps at 25v. The cam, rx and fc pull way less than the vtx. So the power draw in a 5 min flight is negligable.
Great video! Thank you for including your prop incident. Seeing a world class pilot make and admit a common mistake, makes this old man feel better about his many mistakes.
Hey man - it's all about the story!
17:10 the way you say scheiße sounds so cute :D
hehe
I am confused. Scheiße is a german word but why are you using it?
@@flyingdr.endless5069 Because it's Mist... (now you're starting to get really confused.^^)
@@hateeternalmaver
Dreck geht auch^^
@@hateeternalmaver - Quatsch!
100% doable. Did this with a 5” and 2700kv motors. Ultra fun but tip stall was the biggest hurdle. Ran that exact drivetrain on a AstroX but went 4s in series for 8s. Was actually slower than my 6s rig running the same setup. Fun stuff!!! Great content man!
Nurk : let's do a speed test.
Me: is full speed even legal on this quad?
Spoiler alert - triple digit MPH is quite easy with these. The good news is that waivers for P107 are not that hard.
Man you are crazy and crazy good flying that beast. I don't fly racing quads but I like watching them and that was awesome shit. I can't believe you ate thru that power pack that fast. Any way, cool video and thanks for taking a chance on some crazy shit. It makes for good video.
Peace out!!
"Scheisse!" Hahahaha
its "scheiße"
lol
@@qygpygpq707 Nah, there's no B in there.
LaLaObeRoT ß and B is not the same
@@manuelschutt4858 Hahaha. Sorry, couldn't resist. Just pulling your little smart ass teutonic leg a bit ;-)
Peace, man.
Is he german?
Swap it over to xt90s anti-spark connectors. They have a resister in them to help counteract the cap surge when plugged in.
haha i kinda hoped its u and quadmovr in one video. that would be lit af.
So i guess 12s Video waves incoming
omg yes please
You do good work my man!
Love your workshop setup!
are all the celebs getting arrested rn?
I wish it wasn't so messy all the time..
@@quinlansee1
No idea. That is just a rumor.
We shall see what occurs over the next couple months!
@@NURKFPV
Looks like my workspace!
i giggled the whole time i was watching this. YES, just YES!
Man that things rips! Wicked! And awesome flyin bud!
Thanks for posting.Seems like a gps or radar speed run would be in order.
It's how they say: There's no kill like overkill. You're turning up to be the one to disrupt and push technology forward. Why did you do it? Because you can and have the skills to tame that amount of raw power. Keep'em coming, Nurk. And be safe.
Imagine turning up to a race with that beast! 💨
Dude between you and quadmovr, I am seriously debating building one now 🤣! Great video as always brother.
Quadmovr builds some fast 12s's... he uses a lighter frame.
I want to build one of these, will be interesting to see how they benchmark for top speeds and flight times to lighter quads. You're hauling around a small cannonball for a set of batteries...
fpv.air-war.org#Beasts
Man please wear shoes even when testing, I had 38 stitches across one of me feet from a single 3s prop. Awesome setup tho!!
Ouch
Mine was on my thumb..five stitches..and that was because i accidentally armed the quad. Imagine if i full throttled it..😳😳
20:06 diving between the foul-ball net cables. You are the best!
Me: how big is your battery...?
You: Y E S
You could just pull power off the balance lead to power the logic circuit
You’re work bench looks like a I spy with my little eye book or where is Waldo
Dude I love how you are always pushing the hobby and showing whats possible! Keep up the great work
17:10 Scheiße? Language!;)
I`ve heard that too. It´s `shit` in german.
LOL i really wondered.... did he really just say shit in my language?? 😂😂😂 haha..awesome man.
With all that torque it spools those props up so easy... That thing is sick smooth. Wow
Remember when 4s was overkill and 3s was the standard...
4s is the standard now. not that much of a change
I'm excited, because you got excited ! I was really excited
lesson learn: try to bring all tools including prop tool even thought just a flying test :))
jankerzone and a spare set of batteries.
Just watched Quadmovr's 12s 5inch and dam that's insane. Glad to see someone put a camera on it!
Sounds like a woman in distress. Not a good look when you’re the only guy to be seen in that whole park.
Sikkk drone though
you make me want a drone so bad. Your enthusiasm kills me man. Love it.
¡¡¡HUSOOS CRISTO EN UNA NORIA!!!
That thing quite literally *SCREAMS!!!*
Totally sick punchout on that quad as well!!! :-)
it's amazing how much FPV electronics have advanced since 2020
Doesn't look like it'd be amazing for racing, but it looks sick for freestyle...That thing just YEETS.
Excellent effort Nurk. Quite risky! The sound is amazing!
This was such a great video that truly captures what FPV is... Experimenting and learning as we go... And Paul's giggling the whole time was the perfect expression of it! Haha! Thanks for this vid, Nurk!!
That is pretty damn quick! Its amazing how the tech has evolved in such a short time. Keep it up brother.
Wow dude. Nice! Video feed was awesome too!
This really got me excited to know more
I prefer fruity pebbles cereal connectors. They seem to be the sweetest and don't disappoint when you dump the pixies full chooch.
21:43 That was a remarkably good impression there
I get a kick out of your excitement to cool. And what a bad S drone . Thank you you very much for sharing PE Ace
@NURK FPV just use a regular buck converter. You can adjust them to any required voltage. I use them to drop the 24 volt 3D printer power supply voltage down to run 3-5 volt components. You just use a milti meter and adjust a potentiometer screw for required voltage. They are super cheap on Amazon. I usually get a 6pk. they always come in handy somewhere. AWESOME idea BTW lol...MORE POWER!
God damn. Cool video. Insane drone and drone piloting. I enjoyed this a ton and am amazed at where this tech has gotten. These things are bananas.
You and quadmovr both posting. It must be 12s miniquad day!
I still remember starting off a few years ago on 3s :) I think you & quadmovr have started "the next thing" here.
To encourage up-cycling all our old batteries, Would be interested to see the difference with 2x 4s vs 1x 6s vs 2x 6s.
I use my old 3s packs in series to get a 6s on my 5" Hex
nice flying m8 I can see why you enjoy flying that crazy thing
Nice forward flip with long coasting rollout there at the end!
I can feel his energy and excitement from this new toy
Wow Paul! Great video! So fun!
I think its really cool that you did this build and it was nice to see your excitement and the performance. I would put forward the argument that running 6s 1800 kv would get you equivalent performance. That would vary depending on the carriage of an action camera. Partly for the fact that you are getting a diminishing return on the power to weight ratio of the vehicle. The inertia/momentum this thing must carry must be nuts. I'd be interested to see how the performance does with regard to the battery, amp draws and sag during performance, a speed gun would also be pretty sweet. It was a surprise to see that you were over propped the motors are 900kv with a 7" propeller when smaller motors appear to handle them. Experiments like this are great and fuel the hobby. Nice video and keep at it sir!
That input cam is awesome. Thank You for that.
Amazing! I've always thaught there was another step past 6s (even if it isnt serious) but I've never seen anybody actually do it yet.
Again, amazing!

Dude since I watched this video I'm now so into drones fpv. I've always been a need for a speed n love flying the combo is just insane!
That bench surface with all the metal chips, loose headers and other cr.. treasure looks like it can blow up perfectly wired stuff, no problem. ;)
That was the most fun I've had watching anyone pilot a drone, ever..
I didn't know people flew drones with a headset, that's just awesome.
Wow! This is insane work! Really cool!
Awesome monster! You are incredibly versatile. The coolest tinkering, whoop flying, cinematic stuff, travel and your great freestyle videos which brought me to fpv (the river video) aaaaand to hear you saying scheiße 😁...
Thanks for all that, man!!!
This is why I watch your videos. I love it! Amazing as usual!
Wow mate your bloody good at flying that thing. Great video
Duude seriously. All the people who hit the thumbs down are legit hella jealous of this guys flyin skills. Bet they hit thumbs down on every vid they watch. Dude you are seriously a badass drone pilot. I could only hope i can be half that good. A big fat thumbs up from me. Super rad dude. Super rad
That is absolutely insane man!! Love the sound!!!
This is Nurklear Power!!! Sounds amazing
I like the angle where you can see half the quad... Cool
Impressive Stuff Dude!
Thanks for keeping it real. I do a lot of cool stuff but feel really stupid when I forget little things like you did.
I understand nothing about drones but wouldn't the drone be more efficient if the arms where like vertical wings instead of horizontal bars?
Insane Mr Nurk!!!! Our Mad Scientist of FPV!! Innovation plus! Nurk-O-Vation !!
That was insane brother!
