AK-455

Introduction:

I bought some LDARC 1104 5500kv motors to try out since I liked the 7500kvs so much.

Components

Conclusion:

At 63g dry, it came in at a few grams heavier than the 7500kv motors. I'm not sure where all the extra weight came in from, tbh. Will need to test this out to see if it's similar to the HGLRC 1105 6000kv motors although I think it will.

It actually flies well. It gets over half a min more flight time than the 7500kvs except without as much of a punch, which is actually not bad for smaller areas. It also handles much better on 3s than the 7500kvs. 

Update 1/22/20 - the board didn't last long. The esc fried after a couple of flights. I replaced it with a Kramam board instead. 

Update 4/19/20 - replaced the buzzer after it split during a crash.

Update 9/10/20 - replaced the frame after it snapped during a crash at the playground

Update 11/29/20 - need to replace the frame after an arm snapped at the batting cages

Update 10/25/23 - replaced receiver with a crossfire nano rx. Dry weight is 61g.
