I absolutely want to see this - a 10 second quarter mile in a car is extraordinary, but with a near instantaneous 0 to 100 mph on a drone I'll bet you can EASILY beat the quickest production cars on the market. If all they need is 5 seconds at full throttle, they're probably not even murdering the battery or motors. All competitors spec out and build their race quad or compete with their own gear... and may the most optimized build win! There are some INCREDIBLY quick quads I've seen posted on TH-cam... I imagine Vanover, the ridiculously competitive guy that he is, would just build a deviously overspeced monster 200mph quad.
I used to run a 5 inch race drone that was fast as hell, but got six minutes plus with those old school 5040 bi blades. If I were showing up for this race, that's what I would bring.
I would have liked to see the 5 inch equipped with walksnail too. I wonder if the walksnail was stepping on the mavic signal. Pilots could have stood further apart.
I have an idea for the next FPV 2 mile race. Since the longer range drone won, it moves on to the next race. Replace the Bubito with Driblet 2S, replace the DJI Mavic with the DJI FPV drone, and replace the racing done with a long range FPV RC build (maybay a Deer RC Tachyon on 2s or 3s, or Aarma Kraton 6s. Thoughts?
Mavic had to lock on 2.4 GHz because it was blowing out everybody else's video. And it was too close to the ground. During other runs (not included in the video) I was able to reach the gate at the end of the runway, but when I descended to go through the gate, I lost video.
Just now getting into FPV and I feel most comfortable using mode 4 - Throttle-Roll (left analog) and Pitch-Yaw (right analog). Will this hinder me in the future when I become more advanced? Please help!
Hey, i have a question, i have the Emax Nano hawk x and i went to fly it today and it's showing a standing red light and making no noise when i plug it in. I NEED HELP. i cant figure it out and betaflight says everything is fine.
Best block ever. the great thing about this blog is no matter who wins or lose at least everyone is having fun I luv it. keep up the great work a rotor riot 😎👌🏽
What happened to the amazing videos you guys made? Mega Bando, etc, etc. Today, no budget, no new ideas and possibly new flight restrictions? It would seem like golden era of RotoRiot on TH-cam is over.
i feel like drone drag racing would be a legit more interesting and easier to watch sport for most people then the current drone racing. would also help drive the technology forward as its focused ore on the drones performance then the pilot.
Great Vid! I wonder how the Chief 5" with the APC Bi-Blades would stack up? Reduce the motor kv down so it only goes 80-90 mph at full throttle and use an 1800mAh 6s.
My first build just flew away into the abyss, hoping to save up and get flying by the end of the summer 😅 currently trying to choose between 4s or 6s if/when i build a new one
If you wanna do real drag race competition with drones you actually need to do it indoors where is no wind. A quarter mile (402 meters) indoor drag race could potentially be a serious competition... Are there halls larger than 500-600 meters ?
or the wind speeds may only be a certain limit and the wind direction may not go in the same direction. One could define a maximum angle of the wind direction. From the front and from behind would not be ideal wind direction...
This video is f*&#!%! perfect for illustrating the very different styles of quads, but what I'd like to see is each of you fly each of the quads on the same exact track. It would be interesting to see if you use what you learn from each race and each other to ultimately overcome the weaknesses of the different kinds of quads. This was thoroughly entertaining but feels unfinished!
They are all Rookies unless they have been doing it since 2010...just sayin🤷🏻♂️ LOS is king... FPV isn't how it began... It's cool but requires literally only half the skill to fly..facts
I'd love to see a challenge where you each modify a Bubito and see if you could make that distance. LR Toothpick!
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing.
Bubitos are life and I don't even own one yet lol my favorite clip is drib and bubby smashing in the airport best clip ever Vrap
kinda went through the whole time wasting video and still sitting here without seeing a "Drone Drag Race ...
"Gonna JB the winner." 🤣
11:45 UFO!!! 🤣🤣
Awesome video!!! Maybe 4 next time, try to build your own drones and race each other in the drag race? :) it would be like a car race.
i would watch that 4 sure

yall had me rollin lmao drawing straws and don't even know the game lol short straw looses
Thats a thing wich could be so much fun to do with friends
Cant believe the babito got to the end of the runway....
LeDrib is the #1 pilot there..
Great fun,and thats what FPV is all about.
Moral of the stories, “don't judge a drone by it’s size”
try my hyper whoop (thick whoop with ducted circular wings, simplest transition drone-plane)
Do this again but all with bubito and you have to run after it to put a new battery
Wow, @Bubby is the trash talk king :P INTENSITTTTYYYYY
Great race guys thank you for showing the skills 👏 👍 👌
I would have liked to see the 5 inch equipped with walksnail too. I wonder if the walksnail was stepping on the mavic signal. Pilots could have stood further apart.
man I think all the quads needed a fair chance, get everyone some high gain antennas and let them choose a battery

Race starts at 8:20
*3 Mile powerloop missing from the description tho.*
Good luck finding the bubito
That was fun. You are right. Lmao. That is why I was counting runway lights. 😂
How did the mavic lose video less than a mile out? I've gone 5 miles out and back. Somebody sabotage the mavic to cause JB to lose
Also we had to switch off dual band because on previous attempts the Mavic vtx blew the other drones out of the sky almost immediately.
Mavic had to lock on 2.4 GHz because it was blowing out everybody else's video. And it was too close to the ground. During other runs (not included in the video) I was able to reach the gate at the end of the runway, but when I descended to go through the gate, I lost video.
@@JoshuaBardwell I heard the 2.4 lock but it would have been funny if Drip did it because he never wins. 😂
Congrats Drew and Let’sFlyRC
LOVED This! lol
JB should have switched back to 5.8 video 10 seconds into the race and crushed the competition.
you should try this again with the Mavic 3 pro.
Just now getting into FPV and I feel most comfortable using mode 4 - Throttle-Roll (left analog) and Pitch-Yaw (right analog). Will this hinder me in the future when I become more advanced? Please help!
@@aaronvandegrift6478 Very helpful! Thank you!
Woohoo Walksnail FTW!!
I'm so confused why the Mavic cut out. I fly mine miles away and they are in an open landscape?
They know alex vanover would wreck them😂😂😂
Yeaahhh hes usually there..! But you dont need much skills for this feat😂
Yup, and with the Bubito... somehow 🤣
😂
...and sorry but the Mavic Mini is only 5.8 ghz for the FCC model....better check it and see...
Awesome video
Where's the link to the 3 mile power loop?
I would have brought the baby crocodile 4 and wipp their butts 😂
nice video... guess this was at X07 ?
Can't believe the mavic air 2 didn't make it
Technically even taking off shouldn't have been possible with a DJI Mavic at this place... so...
Good choice drib
LeDrib's sunglasses model plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
shouldve done it one at a time so video would be optimal
So, same thing, but everyone builds their own drones (anything goes?) And maybe shorter distance?
Missed opportunity not putting a spoiler on the mavic!!!
Awesome.
try a 2" toothpick instead of the babito, I think that would be more interesting. there are 2" toothpicks that can do 10 minutes on a battery.
the "drag race" starts @ 8:20 ends 10:20, 2 min out of the 15min video.
Can you guys tell me a better lanyard than the roto riot cause I'm bout to buy one lol
Ya need to get that dji drone to sit for a min or 2 to get a GPS and 2.4GHz work fine near the ground like it was
I got 28,000 feet with my phantom 3 and still had live feed
😂 next time you could choose your favorite drone and then race
You fellas don't know what a drag race is.
Seven inch is going to win. I love a seven inch drone
Bubby , where ´s your Rotor riot shirt ?? 😂
Hey, i have a question, i have the Emax Nano hawk x and i went to fly it today and it's showing a standing red light and making no noise when i plug it in. I NEED HELP. i cant figure it out and betaflight says everything is fine.
Bardwell!!
Best block ever. the great thing about this blog is no matter who wins or lose at least everyone is having fun I luv it. keep up the great work a rotor riot 😎👌🏽
its going 99.99 mph 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not just you guys, but all YT editor/creators: Please use ALC on your audio.. it's easy to do, and enhances the professionalism of the final product.
Who else was suprised how far the babito went?!
lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
no drone title name on each POV made me confuse which one is
Wait till @quadmovr shows up with his 250 km/h flying sausage
Poor JB was so out his element with the mavic 😅
JB intro!!!
Nice video
What’s up
Josh Represent Knoxville Tennesse !!!!!
deadcat vs squashed x freestyle blind test must use the ratio where you cant see the props and great test drone is nazgul
U have to test flywoo explorer v4
Love how at 11:45 there is a random guy landing with a parachute, no big deal
Dope
Salute
Would love to see a build off one day
What happened to the amazing videos you guys made? Mega Bando, etc, etc. Today, no budget, no new ideas and possibly new flight restrictions? It would seem like golden era of RotoRiot on TH-cam is over.
Y o Yo!
how did the mavic only make it a mile , bebop 1 could do better let alone the bebop power i have (cough with a 4g mod)
Next: race your own purpose built drones? 😬
Mavic mini 3 would have made it 0n level ground
hola
the music was a litle too loud, but awesome challenge guys !!!
i feel like drone drag racing would be a legit more interesting and easier to watch sport for most people then the current drone racing. would also help drive the technology forward as its focused ore on the drones performance then the pilot.

@Joshua_bardwell where is the 3 mile powerloop link?!?
🆒 bubby wins

This was thoroughly entertaining but feels unfinished!
60mph is a mile a minute. The race drone will probably make the distance with battery to spare.
Best drone for this race : the DJI FPV Drone!
DJI fpv sucks bro
_"JB the Winner"_
O¿O
Mavics have 5.8 or 2.4. Was there a rule that they all had to be one 2.4?
My support. Nice challenge.. Jesus loves you
disappointing 1 mile is a problem
That was fun. Fly the same class and do it again please. . .
Would love to see the DJI FPV and Avata in this race!
Nah. both suck
Avata is slow as 💩 😅
@@Sonic_BoomFPV but its battery will guarantee finishing the race 😂
Man the Bubito made it pretty far, that's amazing!
what antennas do I need for my walksnail goggles to get a mile?
WHaaaaa Thumbs up
1st
Lol floon
Dji fpv might have won it all easily. Even only on sport mode.
...why? Against a 7 inch? If nobody's battery had made it, then yeah, but the 7 inch didn't have battery problems.
Dji fpv is terrible
So to be picky, this was more of an endurance race vs drag race lol
They are all Rookies unless they have been doing it since 2010...just sayin🤷🏻♂️
LOS is king...
FPV isn't how it began...
It's cool but requires literally only half the skill to fly..facts
