We teardown a 3DR Solo drone. If you want us to teardown the Solo controller or motor pods, let us know. If you want to see more videos like this one subscribe.
Great work. I agree a motorpod teardown would be great. Also a wifi card separation...I see that there are people replacing the stock card with a higher power version... Might be a business opportunity :)
Looks like Solo and Controller are both options for WiFi upgrade. One side only seems to add 3X distance. Guessing both sides would add more since comms are two way :) Bioards are relatively inexpensive, and replacement is plug and play, but many in the target market would be squeemish about opening up the unit. :) Here is the info: i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/R11-140818123114.pdf
will do.
The ESCs are in the motor pods, so I will cover them in a separate video on motor pod teardown.
