TBS Vendetta Review - The Best Racing Drone?
Hi EveryOne! As you know FPV drone racing is a
fast growing sport. These days, most people build their own racers, but is that
about to change?
On February 9th, Team Black Sheep (TBS) announced the
Vendetta, a completely new FPV racing drone with features we’ve never seen
before on a quadcopter of this size.
For people who don't know the drone Racing League "DRL".
This is an presentation!
So TBS Vendetta is the best FPV Racer at moment?!
TBS Vendetta Features
Here's the generic features taken
straight from the TBS description:
- 240-sized RTF FPV Racer
- Quick-replace 3.5mm carbon fiber
arms, MT30 connectors
- Cobra CM2204/2300kV Motors, HQ
5x4x3 Props
- TBS PowerCube with fastest F3
board available, 2-6S capable Bulletproof 30/50A ESCs
- Compatible with PPM, SBUS, XBUS,
Spektrum R/C systems
- Fully configurable via OSD, no PC
required
- GoPro 3/4 and Mobius / Runcam
mount included, both 10 and 30 degree variations
- Lost model alarm
- 410g weight without Battery or HD camera
Racing drones like the Vendetta are usually much smaller than camera drones like the Phantom 4, but don’t let the small size fool you. The TBS Vendetta will easily reach speeds of 70mph and above when racing on a track, or over 100mph when doing nose dives down the sides of cliff faces.
What's in the ?
The box was extremely small with the signature of Team "BIG WHOOP"😇😇
But... what we have inside this small box 😍😍?
Therefore, packaging
aside the main items we're interested in right away is the gorgeous full carbon
fiber monocoque body - this thing really is a work of art. For me, this is what
sets itself apart from the Vortex - it is a unique feature of the Vendetta, not
even just unique to the RTF quads but I believe this is the only frame at all
for quad racing that has been manufactured like this. Aside from the eye-candy,
it feels extremely strong; the exterior finish is great with all of the little
holes and details across it. You can see a lot of thought has been put into
this.
We have the pair of arms, with pre-installed
Cobra 2204 2300kv motors. Again, these look super tidy, the fact there is a
full set of motor wires and connectors on the arms does not take anything away
from them, they look super tidy and I can't wait to see how the Cobras perform
on a quad like this (I'm used to relatively light quads now).
Add to this we have a bag of accessories used
to screw the arms to the body; various screw covers and some extra cables for
connecting your receiver etc. Finally yet importantly, we cannot forget the TBS
Triumph antenna. These antennas are fantastic, and pulled ahead of any other
that I tested. It's not even so much the performance of them, which I like, but
the fact they are so small, and seem to be super durable so far.
There
are a few reasons why we think the Vendetta is the best ready-to-fly racing
drone, but the main reason is because it’s designed well and all of the parts
have great performance and quality.
The Vendetta is
a drone that’s going to be hard to break, but if it does, no
problem! It’s one of the only drones that doesn’t require a soldering
iron when you need to replace components after crashing. This is a
big deal for racing drones, because you’re always crashing and repairing
it at racing events, or even just at the park. Because of its modular
design, you can also upgrade to bigger motors, add a
high-voltage battery and instantly have a faster machine.
As far as price goes, it’s about $500 (which is pretty normal for a drone this size with all of the features that it has).
Availability for the Vendetta is not the best right now because it’s new and high in demand, but if you ordered one today you could expect to have it in your hands within a month.
See you next time😇. Share it with your friend!
