I built a 12S fpv miniquad that runs at 50 volts and sounds INSANE
Ғылым және технология
So I was out running the other day and i had this crazy idea - what if I could take some components that I had lying around and make a drone that could run off of 12s, instead of just the measly 6s that they currently run on. I wasn't sure whether or not it would work, and I knew there would definitely be challenges to making it not blow up on 12 cell voltage (that's 50v). It turned out absolutely insane and I'm stoked to share it with you!
Shout out to @quadmovr who somehow managed to drop a video on the same freaking day! (i filmed this yesterday) • 12s on 5inch | a quick...
