Nice! I will likely be moving to one of the switchbacks in the '21 season. Haven't decided quite yet which one though! Up to this point, I have stayed on 30x30, so maybe I run the classic, but the goal is to find a 20x20 I like so I could utilize the SB Pro. I prefer having front braces for camera protection though, so I suppose that rules out the "Lite."
@@headsupfpv So the Lite can run braces, just not SFG? (because the ends of the arms don't have the extra slots for the SFGs, while braces just require longer screws and attach to the bottom of the arms?)
The SFG arms will be the only arms capable of running the SFG’s. However the “front/side braces” we are making extra versions of for the lite and Longback arms
My preferred esc is the hobbywing 2020 and my preferred fc is the Flightone H7! I use the Tbs tracer system for rx and unify nano for vtx. For camera , I use the Runcam nano and of course for motor and prop I use the Five33 motors combined with the Headsup R38 prop
@@headsupfpv Thanks, that sound like a great setup! and everything is in stock. I was torn on what parts to order but if they are good enough to win first in the multiGP I think i will have a quad I don't outgrow ;) thanks for the response!
Hi. I have purchased 3 full sets of Five33 frames plus 10 arms. Can you give me a hint. What stack is suitable and can PNP and still look cool? Thanks you so much... Waiting for clue...
Hello, I'm gona order battery strap for my switchback pro. Do you recommend any carbon plate to protect the battery and hold it better? or a sticky pad is enough. From my experience juste 1 battery strap by itself is not great to hold battery during crashes. Thanks
I noticed titanium stack screws aren’t quite flush under the arm. They seem to be cut with a rounded top edge instead of a sharp edge. I chose durability over weight for now. I haven’t found a good way to get an M2 stack in (HGLRC Zeus line) without compromising strength somewhere
Ahh interesting, steel definitely is the way to go then and just swallow the couple extra grams. Getting m2 in there would definitely be difficult, all the ESC’s we use are M3. Let us know if you figure out a good alternative!
Hm that would be interesting ! he would prolly recommend whatever 4S motors FlyFvie33 has to offer . Try out Tmotor F60 Pro 4 with highest KV available and some crazy ass 5150 ish props and see if it works for you.
@@aakashjana6225 all five33 motors were out of stock. I ended up going with flywoo f722 mini stack, xnova lightning v2 2207 2700kv with TBS unify and TBS receiver. Its all built and ready to fly but the weather here is trash and I don't wanna ruin it yet lol once the snow is gone I'll give it a go
Great Frame Evan... could have done with some M2 counter sunk stack screws for the mamba 20x20 I also put a TBS sixty9 on top which also uses M2 ... but very happy with the Switchback Pro 😊👍
Are stack screws M2 or M3? seeing new 20x20 stack coming in M2 version, so it would be nice to know more specs about the PRO frame on paper :) maybe some dimensions of inner space would help to make a decision of what will fit end what's not? :)
Hey man, the stack screws are M3 which is the standard for all the ESC’s we recommend. Will work on getting more work done for better dimensions posted!
I hope not as well! We have been very happy with the pro, and unfortunately we haven’t figured out how to make a frame save electronics yet🤣 we will definitely make another post if we do, lol!
fast frame .. windy day forget it ,, bouncy because its so light and i use 20x20 analog no weight at all you want as little weight as possible with racing motors .. on a calm day its the best ,, have 2207 1855kv xing2 ,, had 2050 kv on it way to fast at first ,, now that i am used to it going back to 2207 2050 kv N54 magnet motors 6s by newbee .. the smallest 5in frame out there about 2mm between all the blades , 0 forgiveness
Congrats on winning DRL!
Looking more fit every time I see ya! Great work and awesome video.
Bro, you live my dream...CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Now the rest of the build?
Awesome! I absolutely love the switchback and can’t wait to try the pro!
That build looks so good I want it.

Awesome! we are getting braces done for both the lite arms and Longback as we speak! Sorry for making the decision harder🤣

Southeast snagged me up first, otherwise I'd be reppin the Switchback!! Great frame!
Hi there ! Great product ! I race and do long range with this frame 👌
Please push more in TH-cam would love to get new things from you
Those caramels were delicious!!
Looks amazing, I can't wait to get my hands on one! what Electronics do you use, I would love to see your prefered ESC, FC and etc!

What's the max length of the esc that fits this frame along the front to back axis?
Bro can we use DJI o3 for racing
YOU SHOULD OFFER IT AS A DIY KIT(FRAME MOTORS RECEIVER ESC ETC ETC)
So am I understanding this correctly, there is no stretch-x geometries in any of those, correct?
Can you fit a vista on top of a beast f7 in a normal switchback, not the hd one ?
With an aio fc esc can you run a vista on this frame?
@headsup fpv with the longback config what size props?

You! The space for the battery strap it's tiny! I have to open the bottom to fit 20mm even 18mm it's pretty tide. I'm doing something wrong?
It’s designed for a 16mm wide strap! I recommend the nylon ones from piroflip!
Is the top plate exactly the same in pro vs. normal version?
I have one just haven’t put it together
PogU build video!!!!! LETS GO DUDE!

What is the weight of frame (light version) with TPU parts; antenna, camera holder and turtle stick?
Could you recommend some good components to put in this frame to make it a competitive 4s racer?

@@BenjaminFrinkRIH awesome setup man.!!!
@@aakashjana6225 thanks! I have a bunch of quads but this is the first I built one from scratch and it was a lot easier than I expected.
@@BenjaminFrinkRIH nice . I started the hobby with building em and actually have never purchased any prebuilts
Hey Evan and anyone else on this channel - can you explain how the arm length affects the flight performance/characteristics of the quad???
Great Frame Evan... could have done with some M2 counter sunk stack screws for the mamba 20x20 I also put a TBS sixty9 on top which also uses M2 ... but very happy with the Switchback Pro 😊👍
Does the tpu fit on both switchbacks?
Yes!
maybe a stupid question but do you think its possible to fit a vista to the switchback pro?
Only one way to find out 😅you would definitely need some longer standoffs I imagine!

@@headsupfpv and which escs do you recommend? :) interested in ones freely available in eu
@@GoRiZ known 2020 esc that has m3 holes are the Hw 40a, aikon ak32, talon, redux air, hglrc 45a. foxeer reaper. theres a few more.
Nice video!
Killed 4 hobbywing esc's with an original switchback, hope that won't happen anymore :)
I hope not as well! We have been very happy with the pro, and unfortunately we haven’t figured out how to make a frame save electronics yet🤣 we will definitely make another post if we do, lol!
Nice
I guess in 2024 the motor screws don't come anymore :/
It me taco from 3OOO we can i get that old af fc ... lol
:) nice
Remember guys when Evan says last year he means 2019 . He basically just doesnt consider year 2020 ever existed.
