MrBen's Spanky 6 Quadcopter Ultimate Beast Build Thread

[MrBen]

Well I decided to build a spanky 6 (thats the new slightly larger frame that can take 6" props)

Specification :

Spanky 6 frame (from multirotorsuperstore)
KISS 18a Escs (from Flyduino)
Luminier FX2208-9 2000KV Motors (from GetFPV)
Naze 32 Acro (from RadioC)
Turnigy nano-tech A-SPEC G2 1800mah 4S 65~130C Lipo (from HobbyKing UK)
RMRC Dual Step Down 12v/5v Reg (from RMRC)
Minim OSD flashed with MWOSD (from Ebay)
GoPro 3 Black + (from Ebay)
Gopro Hero 3 Lense Protector (from Amazon)

I have not decided on 2.4 Frsky & 5.8 Video or UHF & 1.2 yet!

So the frame arrived today along with the KISS ESCs so I have made a start, will solder escs with caps tomorrow, might ditch the included PDB.

It will be running cleanflight with oneshot, this thing should be a beast with about 1100-1200gram of thrust per motor using 6x4.5 props!

That is going to be a beast of a setup

Lookin good

Looking , sharp Ben great power plant setup there I must of watched a million videos over the past 6 mths on minis and setups all come back to 6inch prop 4s 2000 kV/1960kv motors its kind of narrowing my list down but now irc have the vortex weeks away from launch fully 4s cabable osd etc etc its a contender lol

[MrBen]

the real choice is in the motor size Mark, 2204, 2206 or 2208

[mark1975]

I'll second that..

[bigMouse]

I've only just realised how big those motors are compared to the 2206's

[MrBen]

Yep they arrived yesterday too so will get on with the build tonight!

[xxpitt]

Yeah there bigger motors but on a smaller frame they look like they out perform the rest.needs some more mah to make up for it though I think like 1800 or something

[MrBen]

How about some
Turnigy nano-tech A-SPEC G2 1800mah 4S 65~130C Lipo (from HobbyKing UK)

[xxpitt]

Bosh! That should do it lol. Not sure what kind of mah is ideal I would guess around 1800 though

[MrBen]

here she is LOS ready as no FPV gear fitted yet

[xxpitt]

Badass

[gavnthat]
