Quad Mods?

[Varc]

Whos going to be the first to modify their quad? Weather the mods be for performance, or appearance. I have already seen lights, but that is about it.
When I get mine, i'm thinking of putting a car body on it. The stock body is the ONLY thing I dont like about it so far.
Will we be seeing any upgrades for this thing? Perhaps custom canopies, bodies?

Any chance of brushless mods? Or impossible due to the fact that there are four motors to contnd with?

I don't see brushless being impossible at all. It might be a little pricey but not impossible. I am sure we will see it soon the thing has only been out a little over a week.

I am patiently waiting lol.

A car body would be really cool

I cut some slots into a servo box yesterday to make a ridged canopy which I'm using as a micro camera mount

I'd like to see that! Beats filming mine upside down and flipping the footage in post.

i painted the end of a plastic bottle nice and bright and also lightly sprayed the rotors too. Make sure to make to find a bottle bottom that will clear the blades.

+1, I'd like to see it as well. I was eyeballing one of those small tapered Rubbermaid kitchen containers with the corners already notched for prop clearance.

a plastic SOLO cup works very well for
a camera mount

Thanks for the idea!

Here is what I came up with, it is a carbon fiber Micro-T Baja Bug body (try sayin' that five times fast).



My mQX is being shipped, so as soon as it arrives I will post pics.

Camera mounts in the top, it is a little top heavy but the AS3X seems to compensate nicely. And still getting 6min.+ out of an "old" battery. There is no oscillation in the dvd movies. Co ax helis and dvd camera always had oscillation not now though.

Hey to say, but that Micro T body is going to be too tiny for the quad. Maybe get one from the slightlynlarger Mini T?

I'm still trying to find my BTTF Part Two Delorean body from the 1/28 scale Kyosho Mini-Z racers. I have the feeling it'll be the perfect size, but will require some modifying. Keep them mods coming folks!

[LL-Cool-T]

I'm probably gonna go with the all time classic toy body.... You know, headless barbie.

Now that I have one of these in my hands, I have had a look at this quad. About the only reasonable aftermarket upgrades I can see, would be aluminum motor mounts with fins for heat sinks. I notice that there is a screw under the mount where it bolts to the carbon rod. Would be very easy to replace.
That, and some carbon fiber blades, and I think it would be pretty neat looking.

I think my first mod will be a more solid body of some sort that sits a bit higher up, even if it's smaller. All I really want is a good solid spot for the camera to mount. I already have something planned to use as well.

[Varc]

Im still looking for my Delorean body.

I ordered mine from ReadyHeli yesterday, and it shipped today. Should have it very soon


The car body is a good idea. In fact, a slot car body might be just about the right size and they are lexan so it shouldn't be too heavy. hmmmmm.....
