We put 8 motors on a Freestyle Drone.. the X8 7in kwad that RIPS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 бер 2021
- 8-motor drones are typically used for lifting heavy payloads, like cinematic movie cameras. We don't have any fancy heavy cameras, but Shawn decided to build an X8 anyway. Guess we're just gonna have to send it.

Thank you!!! :D time to go play :p
Here are the CLI tuning changes I made using Betaflight 4.2.6 with blheli_s esc:
set dshot_idle_value = 300
profile 0
# profile 0
set vbat_pid_gain = ON
set iterm_relax_type = GYRO
set iterm_relax_cutoff = 7
set p_pitch = 78

set f_roll = 105
set p_yaw = 77
set i_yaw = 117
set f_yaw = 105
set d_min_roll = 0
set d_min_pitch = 0
Will this work for any frame with 16x16 mounting holes or just with the cl1 frames?
@@rightpricemedia8852 it should work with almost any 16x16 mounting hole frame.
yaaaa sik!
I always feel so sorry for Shawn, because he spends so much time building this stuff and he sees you guys literally DESTROYING it😂
😅😇😈
Doesn't matter, Shawn's the real star of RR.
It's like dad building stuff for his boys.
Yer i was thinking the same. But then he gets payed to do what he loves 😃👊
Did you ever thing he likes the challenge of building thing to see if he can make it unreal able lol
But will it fly with only 4 props?!
on just the front 4 motors....
Nope. It shot to the moon on arming with 3 missing, so it'll do the same with 4 missing. Even if it is one on each arm...
If they turn off the half-broken "air mode" (or use pretty much any other flight control firmware) then maybe it will work...
Will it fly without props?
yes
@@TLK22
Bubby in the interviewer seat for the first half--he's really getting fully integrated into the team. I had no idea his rates were that low, though! You'd never believe it from his flight videos, because there's such a sense of constant motion and interaction with the environment.
I am really enjoying the direction that this channel has taken. It went from a "cool pilot showcase" to a truly informational channel. Don't get me wrong, having an occasional flight video for the sake or showing a cool flight is cool, and even a decent vlog can be appropriate. But people like information, and they come to youtube to find information... not just to see cool guys do cool things, especially when the "cool stuff" gets repetitious. Anyway, I *REALLY* enjoy Shawn's builds coupled with Bubby's abilities and fresh attitude. Great job!
People love to complain, but other then them and flite test I can't think of many other channels that put out this kind of content regularly. It'll be nice when covid is over and they can do some travelling and get more guests back on though.
Love how he keeps hinting.... See how it says "land now?".... "Lemme try 5 more tricks"
I feel like this build could have really benefited from a 6s battery and more mAh.
Shawn is truly a mad scientist. Y’all did good by bringing him on the RR crew. Much love guys keep doing what you doing
Thanks brother. I am happy that people are enjoying my creations.
@@LetsFlyRC it’s not a problem at all brother. Your creations definitely keep things interesting as well as spark creativity in others. I personally appreciate it.
I’ve probably watched 50 of your videos. The drone on the water tower is the one that finally got me to subscribe.
Hitting a powerline and landing in a tree, and the pulls out a metal pole to get it down feels like something that should only happen in cartoons :)
After building a bunch of these X8 config drones i have found they work better as a 8 motor quadcopter ( each pair of motors rotating the same direction run by one signal wire) , done like this they will fly with only 4 props.
I love the atmosphere in this video! Its just chill, having some fun... what the hobby is aal about!
100% agree!
As soon as I saw it I thought " how do you land it?" apparently I'm an idiot because the answer is "carefully."
Nah. Landing is easy: Fly it near the ground and just disarm. Taking off is the problem. However you do it, you'll be doing some damage to the props unless you take off from a wooden block or something that holds it in the centre without touching the props... At that point it's easier to just put landing gear on it.
@@Vousie Wooden blocks are hard to find
Love your videos, you guys got me into FPV, got my first RTF Starter Kit 3 days ago and I'm loving every minute of it and I can't wait to get better and upgrade!
Already did it with your HD 7”… it’s awesome! Even made the 3d files for the motor mounts.
Link for the mounts?
Bubby with that spoiler😂😂😂
😂
9:38 To the moon! lol
Great video, good to see you are using shark byte in this video. Hope to see a review soon.
Wow! Actual innovation. Really cool.
Great video just bought my first fpv drone from your store can't wait to fly it.
Interesting concept. I like the reaction from Drew after the tune. Sounds sweet!
I think we should call this hex
“Edward” Scissorhands
love to see shark byte in there
Great segment !
Cool stuff! Like the print colors. My favorite color combo! Reminds me of Retro 80's I have it on all my quads. Nice flying bubby👍
I like that addition of the extra motor assembly option!🤙
Thank you guys you helped me find my passion
That's exactly how it feels. That's exactly how Vanover feels. 😂😂😂😂😂
All this needs is some landing feet and you are golden.
Twas frikin awesome
Nice video Rotor Riot. This 8 motor 7 inch drone is very inspiring.
9:36 I've never actually seen a fly away before, That was kinda scary lol
i have had a quad with the wrong motor direction and prop direction! it flew away but i disarmed in time to have it fall out of the sky!
Great video I love the channel 💯❤️👊
Badass great job
It's hilarious how this is turning into a "let's break the mad scientist's toys" show. (I mean that in a good way)
Yeah I don't know about that last dude. Like seriously just fly the damn thing and stop trying to be the dude to come up with something that nobody has at that point. Because he's so cool haha look what I did. Like bro fly the damn thing or get the F out of here.
Ya'll need to quit SCREWING AROUND and build a MANNED ROTOR RIOT MOBILE! 😁👍
10:00 "I don't want to mess with it"
Is that why you are taking off props until it crashes?
I'm so happy you didn't get hurt folks. That was dangerous!
Really entertaining! 👍🏾
Lol you guys dropped this video the day after my friend crashed his X8 doing freestyle😂 I made the comment I don't think X8's are made for regular freesyle LMAO🤣
Ninja Derek. Too cool. And whaddup Drew and Bubby? Cool video as always. I need Bubby's shirt - my wife (ex, shwew!) bought me a knockoff Chinese RotorRiot shirt haha. It's cool tho - terminator version ha.
And btw, I actually really love that HGLRC Zeus FC. Great board. I have at least 3. Oh 2, I landed one in wet grass. Poof. But that's an excellent FC, highly recommended. Keep on doing what your doin. Good stuff.
"See it says land now.".. Keeps flying😜..
alrighty so.... i just decided to get going on a cinelifter. surprisingly this just answered a bunch of my questions!
Having double the motors means having to use roughly only 60% of the power they normally would. Also keeping the props turning slower and able to be banged up without breaking. Many pros, major con is the extra weight and drag. The bottom props can stay stuck in the grass until the top props pulls the quad up. Amazing!
Lol, I love u guys experiments
Wait, what? Does Bubby have a spoiler on his Drib frame?
Yessir!!
Off the hook 🪝
Abandoned golf course. With a nicely mowed grass and a fountain in the background. What alternate reality is this?
Florida
IM GOING WITH ITS BANK OWNED AND THE BANK IS IN DENIAL. LOL
With groups of golfers in golf carts and all....hmm
That shit about Vanover was hilarious
AwEsOmE sTuFf!
Hope to one day have 10% of there talent sick video
those golfers were probably PISSED that was goin on in their backswings hahaha love it
Boyo!! 🤘🤘
good to see you guys using the shark byte system
Re: Bubby's Spoiler
Bubby, seriously explains: "I think it makes it go, like at least 1,000 miles an hour."
Drew, nods head, matter of factly: "Yeah"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Reminded me of "The Little Rascals" having meaningful conversations about nothing where in real life everyone's wrong. 🤣🤣🤣
Funniest part of the video. 😂
@@LetsFlyRC Haha! I thought the funniest part was when Drew was flying talking about feeling like Vanover and when he first started flying. Hahaha! So funny.
Drib creates the balance in the videos lol
old skool RR fun 🤙
You could definitely have a take off mode that disables the bottom motors until you're off the ground. Don't ask me how to do that though
We thought about that, but, couldn’t come up with a way to do it in the fc
I'm not sure that's possible in Betaflight.
Please put a giant old VHS Camcorder on that thing 😂
@12:14 is the killer for me 🤣😂🤣
I was into Drones so much in 2017 it was my life and I've built over 50 quads since but I split my time&funds between Scale trucks, eflite planes and drones😀 it's complicated 🤯😜🤨🇬🇧🤘
dji must be happy about the sharkbyte
you should have higher pitch blades on the bottom as the bottom props get high speed air
I love to see you use and talk about shark bite.
There will be more ;) it definitely has its pros and cons over dji - both have their place.
This is really inspiring! I am doing a custom 8x build, I'm having trouble with the wiring, and I'm wondering if I could get some tips from you guys!
That's thing is sic ! I'm green and have couple 7s . Two blade . Wonder were I could get an experienced time to load
Very nice idea for a taking off/landing solution would be 3d printed spikes attached to the hex nuts. This way the hex nuts wouldn't get destroyed after first start
Bullet style prop nuts, especially on the bottom motors will give more perop clearance and protect the shaft threads.
Nice
The Alex jokes 🤣😂😆😄
the HGLRC f722 is such an underrated board... £22 F7 with plenty of UARTS and hardware pins
Coool 😄👊👍
Puhleese share the 7 inch tune you transferred to make it perform significantly smoother! I know all tunes arent the same but it has been a beast to get my 7 inch (and aggressive 6 inch) locked in. maybe a larger drone tuning tutorial? I just want a place to start that is better than the place I am.
Shawn makes the coolest kwads. Really fun rippage. Ooh a spoiler on a kwad. I'm with Bubby, I've got a spoiler on my Focus. Easily do 1000mph. Plus it's red. 🤣
"Your 9 Volts battery is still connected" lol 🤣
When testing crazy things, I disable airmode and put it on a mode switch. I'll flip off airmode to stop a flyaway before I try disarm.
That difference between stabilized footage and dvr. It covers up everything. I hate it. 😂
It did make a big difference in this video, didn’t it? :) fixes a bad tune, but, still doesn’t make a good pilot. ;)
@@LetsFlyRCdebateable 😅
@@LetsFlyRC let's be honest. It does make a bad pilot look good. No more need for flying smooth. Real steady and go
I'd be interested to see what would happen if you put a higher pitch prop on the bottom motors and how much better flight times you would get with that setup.
How about this idea - get 4 motors with slightly higher center screws - say ¼" - and use those as the bottom motors - and use the widest possible nylon lock nuts AND round off the ends of the center threaded studs thereby creating "feet". And there are end nuts manufactured called "cap nuts" as well. But they would have to be milled EXACT to not have vibration.
Rotor riot has changed so much...
ok so it's an X8R lol..... that's pretty cool
Very interesting...... so besides it being smooth and powerful. Do you guys feel it could make a great freestyle machine and if so in what size and configuration (motor/prop)?
Lol funny video guys!!! Where can I buy that extension pole?
Have you thought about an X8 3D. The upper 4 Motors for the up direction, and the lower 4 ones for the other dirction. So the change to reverse should go smoother... some idea for Shawn?
i was actually thinking that lol
Turtle mode in this?😂
need a counter rotating prop system now
I didn't know Gaten Matarazzo was into drones
This is definitely going to be the hot new trend, except on 6s instead of 4
Yeah but these guys don't like 6s .. I guess 4s is cheaper too
@@elxero2189 why don't they like 6s? I thought everyone is on 6s.
@@cinialvespow1054 if they aren't they should be. Especially on an X8, that thing would rippp
@@connorcunningham7449 hmm, recently I've been seeing alot of sentiments against 6s saying that it has no advantage over 4s.
Is that true though?
I bought into 6s systems and like 15 batteries because i was told they have less battery sag and fly a bit longer.
@@cinialvespow1054 I have definitely found that to be the case. I still do have some of my 4s quads and batts and I get at least another 30 sec out of my 6s consistently. Not to mention the power
You still might need more P & D than a standard 7" to compensate for additional weight on ends of arms... Though there's more thrust... I'm probably talking out the proverbial 😊.... Nice though.
happy owner of a proudly built Y6 build , but suffering battery problems ( succed the only battery i gave him right away so much she doesnt charge anymore)
which battery did you feed this monster ?
i love exotics configurations like that !
Hey, I just posted an idea in my community. It could possibly be that 3D drones can be improved using 8 motors. But the trick would be that when idling, the opposite motors blow on each other, so to speak, give each other thrust. Only when you accelerate in one direction on the remote the motors collapse and both motors will give trust the same way... It might have the advantage that you can accelerate the change in direction of rotation, because you have 50% of the motors rotating in the correct direction which also will support the other motor (by wind to the props) to change it's direction of rotation. I currently lack the know-how and money for it. If anyone can say something about it, I would be happy. Otherwise it would be one of the projects I have in mind, but it could take years before I can realize something like that.
I would love to see a Sigma FP with a Laowa 9mm lens on something like that..
This is looking cool battery fryer.. what is next ? And 16-copter..??? So 8 arms X 2 engine each ??
I still fly 4s bc weight w/ sag compensation in BF . Wondering if that’s why they didn’t feel sag
how do you wire the current sensor when you use two 4in1 Escs therefore you endup two current sensor cable signals to solder to the FC?
Is there a way to arm the lower motors after you take off? If so I wanna build this.
What happens if you lose a prop? Will that motor smoke with no load? If that's the case, the ESC firmware should detect when the motor has no load and disable output.
Would the thrust be even greater if you increased the pitch of the lower props,?
one question how you make tpu design for down motor dude its work perfectly i saw it...
hello! please, tell me what a controller do you use and esc's? I want to build the same, but SpeedyBee F405V3 has only 6pins for esc#2 (GND, M5-M8, TEL). what wiring do you do on your quad? thanx, cool video!
