This LIGHTWEIGHT 3.5" Freestyle Quad Rips! | RVS Smolyeet35 3.5" Build & Review

Ғылым және технология

The search for that perfect sub-250 gram DJI O3 build continues so I had to jump on this when Rotor Village reached out! The RVS Smolyeet35 is an insanely lightweight and powerful 3.5" freestyle quad that likes to be thrown around, all without annoying the neighbors.
For transparency, the frame and props were provided by Rotor Village for this review. All other parts were purchased by myself. Rotor Village has not seen or reviewed this video prior to its publishing.
Make sure to check out the links below to the parts I used, my 3D print STL files, and my Betaflight configuration file.
Note that the SpeedyBee AIO comes with the stack screws and plastic nuts.

    Hey Folks. I know that this frame has been out of stock shortly after this video went up. Rotor Village has more in production and should be in stock before Christmas. Sign up for their email stock notification. Make sure to check out the video description for more information and links on this build. Also, check out the SpeedyBee AIO video linked so you have more details on how to wire it and also update its firmware with Bluejay.

    Please try the BF feature RPM Limit with the HQ Props. I feel they reach higher rpm than the Gemfans and pull to much amps and sag the batteries to hard. I think this could lead to reducing punchout amps without sacrificing lowend power the motors can pull.

    I usually don't install any of the frame protection to keep the weight as low as possible. Especially on this frame, if you want to run the 6s 650, there isn't a gram to spare.

    You are right , adding weight on tips such as heavier motors and protection results in a bit less agility. Still, I got a lot of trees and large rocks on my property which are not super quad friendly. A little protection is welcome (about 0.5g / peg). That frame is still very light 50g with short stands and protection on the arms. Havent broken it yet!! I got the Grinderino waiting is turn in case that one is too fragile but for now it is the best blend of agility and durability.@@Mangorille

    7 ай бұрын

    Hey buddy! I've been flying the Siren F3 for a while now, have a bunch of videos with it on my channel. It's a great 3" frame. Yes no need to upgrade the ESC, you actually pull less amps when you go up in voltage. Remember that 35a is per ESC so you'd need to multiply that by 4 for the overall maximum amp. With 6s I pulled a maximum of 37 amps, so that's really just ~25% of the rating of this AIO.

    More flight time when compared to a 6s 650 or to a 4s 650? You want to look at the weight of the battery compared with the Wh that it is capable of. To give you an idea, a 6s 650 is about 14Wh whereas a 4s 850 is about 12Wh. Both batteries have a weight of around 105-115g. I tested with a 4s 650 but yes you can go with a 4s 850 for a bit more flight time.

    I bet your amp reading on the quad is way off. Official iFlight peak current for these motors is 17.99A on 4S (when you had almost 50A at 8:28) Also 50A of current on such motor+prop combo on 4S just sounds unrealistic for me. 50 * 4 / 0.65 = 300C of discharge from your 650mAh GNB (I will never believe the battery could have given you it). Neither motors nor battery nor 35A ESC do not stack up for 50A. Nevertheless great video!

    Hey, thanks for the comment. The 50amps you are seeing is total amp draw across all four motors, otherwise this power system would melt in an instant. I can tell you that the amp draw is in the right ball park, I see ~50 amps being drawn by 1404 motors on my 3 inch as well.
