BetaFPV 550Mah LiHV 1S Lipo (4 min 52 sec)


Hello everyone welcome back.

In today's video I will be reviewing and showing you the new BetaFPV 550mah LiHV 1s Lipo batteries. These were sent over by BetaFPV so a huge thank you to BetaFPV. These are a step up from the Gaoneng 450 3.7v lipo batteries that I was using with the BetaFPV Beta 75. These batteries will give you a average of 5 minutes of flight time. In my testing I didn't notice any heat from the motors or battery. I was flying in 40-45 degree temperatures.

Here are the specs.

Capacity: 550mAh
Size: 16x7x64mm
Continuous Discharge Rate: 50/100C
Weight: 14.0g

Here is where you can get them.

716 Brushed Motor Thrust Testing. BetaFPV, Flight-Sky & GnarlyFPV (5 min 41 sec)


Hello everyone welcome back.

In today's video I will be doing some very crude motor and prop trust testing. In this video I will be pitting the BetaFPV, Flight-Sky and GnarlyFPV 716 brushed motors. In this test I used my homemade rig which consists of the motor mounts and ducts from a Beta 75 and a Beta 65s frame. I used standard 4 blade props for this test. Each test I used a fully charged LIHV 260mah BetaFPV battery. The motor was then cranked up to max in BetaFlight for a few seconds and the sustained pressure was measured.

The results were the following

BetaFPV - 8.4grams
Flight-Sky - 7.9grams
GnarlyFPV - 9.3grams

Here are the specs for each and where you can get them.

GnarlyFPV's Blitz Spec motors The Fastest 716s on the Block (3 min 15 sec)


Hello everyone welcome back.

Today's video has me really excited. I have been on a mission to find faster 716 brushed motors. Well my mission is over. Thank you GnarlyFPV. These are the Blitz SPec motors. They are by far the fastest 716s I have flown. First launch sent me straight into the ceiling. That hasn't happened in a long time. I installed these motors into my BetaFPV Beta 65s. I also traded out my triblade props for some of their 4 blade props.

These motors are compatible with
Eachine E011
BoldClash Bwhoop
BetaFPV Beta 65s
JJRC H67
and any other micro quad that runs 716 motors.
