I just got my bug about 6 hours ago and did its maiden flight about 15 minutes ago (in the dark, couldn't wait). This little bugger is amazing!!! My battery looks like your mod but is only the 1800mah. For it's first flight, however, it flew for a good 15 minutes. Of course I was doing nothing fancy as I have way to many trees and other obstacles to contend with but it was impressive none the less. I can't wait to take it to the park tomorrow.
no I wasnt frequent flier I had line of sight but there are quite a few power lines in my area have not found a good open area yet I had 3 bugs 3 with mixed body shells im going to do the 3s battery mods and the tri props only on one quad but I have to address the antenna issue first cause it will definitely get away my transmitters beeps quite a bit when ot starys to get a little higher but they are so fun to fly better than both hubsans 501 s and x4 pro different style sometimes i just like flying fast and not try to film
Speaking of rain, what is your opinion of the vulnerability of the motors (bearings) to flying in a light rain (drizzle)? It seems internal are pretty well protected, so my concern goes to the motors. I'm guessing the answer is don't risk the possibility of water seeping into the bearings.
LoL!!! this reminds me of your video on the X16 to see what happens when LVC kicks in! Man, the flight after LVC could make a whole new video! Nice flying brother, thanks for sharing. DJ Soul Force
Just pulled out my old Bugs 3 and Bugs mini and bound them both to the Jumper T16...I forgot how much fun they were to fly. I never really liked flying the Bugs 3 with a 3s battery...too much shakin going on. Went to the T16 transmitter because I couldn't get the Taranis to arm the motors on any of my old quads. The first thing I tried was returning the Taranis to factory settings, which fixed the motor-arming problem but I had no idea that the default factory setting was mode one!! Kept getting "throttle warning" until I figured that out. Anyhow, I've been flying the the Bugs 3, Bugs Mini, Hubsan 109 and Syma X5C around for the last week after dusting them off, and having a blast! My old Hubsan H501 binds to either controller but can't get the motors to arm...still wrestling with that one.
@@FrequentFlyerRC Tried that already. Hubsan is weird that way. They still arm with going down and out with the sticks. The 109 arms without any switch assigned...just your standard CH 1234 AETR. Move sticks down and out to arm the motors. No extra channel and switch necessary.
flew the quad last night and it drifted towards the retirement community. went down and I tried to look at landmarks because it was at night. there are a lot of plants and shrubs next to the homes., which makes it even more difficult to find. would I be able to cycle on and off the transmitter and walk around the place where I think it may be and will that cycle the lights. I've noticed that when I did get the props to turn when pushing red button as per starting the quad, if I didn't do anything with the transmitter for a few seconds the quad shuts down and goes into a sort of stasis. will this save the battery life overnight? if so... the cycling of the transmitter way work. what do you think. really bummed...only had it for three days
Great job finding a battery to fit the case. I'll be ordering one for sure. Love the Bugs 3 man. LVC was longer than the flight! Thanks for taking the time to share all your insights with us average guy flyers.
Hi, I’ve had my bugs 3 for a few weeks now and notice when flying i am hearing a squealing sound coming from the drone. I don’t think it’s the motors bc it doesn’t get louder the more throttle I apply. It’s annoying sound. Almost sounds electrical. Thanks in advance
I just need to learn something about Batteries...do you mean if i have a 7.4V battery and when it is charged it is at 8.6V you should fly until it gets to 7V otherwise you are killing the battery?
ok thanks I had a fly away a week ago and did not want it to happen again transmitter started beeping I attempted to lower it but it kept on bugsing no telling were it ended up
It's a shame you can't find these drones any longer except I found the contixo f17 bundle for $129 I little expensive but I fly only the 3s 2200 mah lipos nice power I vent the canopy to cool the escs and get about a year before everything starts failing there's something different tried replacing escs motors nothing works they have done something so you have to buy a whole new drone instead of repair!??
but....that doesn't mean any batt. that'll fit bugs 3 port and has enough mah to power it will work or does it? like...if I had a batt that fit and was powerful enough ..would there be any reason it WOULDNT work?(to many volts,not enough C?)
Hi Ryan. I posted a video on my TH-cam of the Mjx bugs 3. If listed past the motors hum you will hear a high pitched squealing sound. It never stops. It doesn’t get louder the faster you go. I watch other videos on TH-cam and they all make the sound. Thanks.
So my Bugs came today. Happen to have the Tenergy 2200 from the Syma X8 so I ordered the XT30 to Banana adapter. But then I realized that I have to take it in and out the the Bugs battery cage every time. If there a bigger 7.4 battery than 2200mah that you know of ? One I can can get to fit in without the Bugs battery cage ?
so when I rewire these esc's(they were to short to resolder the original wires) can I just use ANY similar gauge wires? like off an Xbox cord or would I need specialty wire for the esc's? thanks for responding bro
looks like yours went to lvc early like mine. when lvc hit you should have checked your voltage. cuz when mine lvc i stopped. came home and tested. it still shows battery at 53% left??? i didnt want 2 fly on lvc. u never know when it'll drop. its not cold here either. whats your thought on this? maybe the bugs stock lipo is proprietary. something the installed in the battery or something. thats my theory
So..... Won't flying the Battery past the beep warning ruin the battery life? (Or anything in the drone?) Or is it an internal timer on the quad to beep at certain time (till amount of energy in the original battery would normally gone) so ya can go longer safely without hurting the Quad or battery when using the 2,200 mah ? I have a Bugs 6 and just ordered a few 1,800 and a 3,000 does that mean after 12 min (usual time for 1,300 mah) I'm gonna have to hear that beep for another 8 min? lol
The quad is supposedly designed to do low voltage cutoff warning at a safe battery voltage be does seem to have a bit of a problem with larger capacity batteries. I wouldn't run it too much longer after the LVC because when I checked, I believe the battery was down passed an unsafe level. I think the culprit is the higher C rating (higher discharge rate of the bigger battery)
Ah...ok... I was wondering if ya put a meter on it after lol... I think the 7.4 can go down to about 7.2 or so...Cause when it's fully charged mine are about 8.45 or so...(Why call it a 7.4 then? hahaha) Have a great day... Rain stopped here in Florida...goin flyin
I found the sweet spot for power size of a 3s lipo the goldbach 2200mah 3s perfect gets 55mph strong power but no flipping while cruising lost my drone over powered shot off to one side out of site.
@@FrequentFlyerRC I have ouned 6 bugs all lost due to orientation the last one was with the 3s lipo my red bugs while doing a full power turn tried flipping and pulled to the left out of site coundnt see to bring back causing it to go down some out of site went to recover couldn't locate someone has picked up a nice drone.
after seeing your video I bought the zippy battery but you never mention that anyone who does this mod would have to purchase another charger because the charger end on the new battery is bigger and will not fit in the bugs3 battery charger end... not unless there is another adapter for that charging end
It starts beeping after the programmed minutes are up and the low voltage which ever hits first ..you would have to turn it off and back on to reset the timer to turn off the noise
hello, I was just wondering if you or any of your followers know what type of esc will work on the Bugs 3? I have a mod in mind that involves higher amp esc's but I'm not sure what kind I need. Any advice?
+Topflyer well at this point it's anyone's guess which is best for it but just so you know at least 6amp ESCs are needed for 3S. I think maybe at least 12amp is needed for 4S.
Question for you big guy. I have a 3.5ah 7.4v Lithium Ion battery made by Titan. After flying it with the Bugs3 for about 1 min. It goes into low voltage warning mode. The motors,esc,battery F/C, are not even warm. I'm afraid to keep flying. Should I be concerned? What do you think? Is this happening because of the 3500mah or because it is a lithium -ion or something other? Please your thoughts. Thus battery is very light lighter than stock and so full of power would you still use it?
Noticed you said you were keeping it all stock. Question is I am thinking about 6045 3 blade props and maybe a 3 cell do you think this is to much for the quadcopter?
I should have said 3.8v/cell. So it was an early trigger of lvc was what I meant. The punchouts take a lot out of the batts and can trigger the lvc. You're using a 35C, and if accurate, should be an improvement. Might need 45C though. At least you showed there's no need to panic when lvc kicks in - ha!
my friend how is your quad doing did u have problem so far mine 2 esc board burn and my friend is the same what you think is any esc better than stock market and why you think is burn
+Kanari Mentos I have no idea! Both of my Bugs 3 quads are good still but I know I probably don't fly mine as often as you because I mostly fly indoor quads lately because of weather
am planning to buy this robu.in/product/orange-2200mah-2s-30c60c-lithium-polymer-battery-pack-lipo/ can you check out, wil it work on the stock charger...can you give some advise

I just got the bugs 3 in blue I thank they would be beautiful at night time flying drones with all the lights they have it's my first bugs drone any information would be appreciated thank u Mike Holden out of north Carolina said that
What if you attach a low voltage alarm to the battery and set it for about 7.6v? Do you think you may be able to get a little more flight time without hurting the battery? Also, what if you use a 3s battery and fly it non aggressively, do you think you'd get longer flight times? Oh, by the way, nice video showing great skills!
Frequent Flyer RC strange you mention that as I wondered whether mine is doing the same, some people apparently manage a good 10 or more minutes from a stock battery where I'm getting about 6-7, I'm wondering whether there is a variation between different units when the low voltage alarm comes in.
When i went after work today about six o'clock there were a few ladies on their front porch and i told them what i was doing. They said they were surprised that some of the neighbors haven't reported me walking sround the complex
Hey man! Thanks for all the awesome videos on the bugs 3! I just got mine and see you love it as much as me! Just wondering if you know what 2 bladed props fit this? Thanks bugs crew!
thx , the supplier " hobbyWow" for stock batteries. are they a reputable seller? nowhere do they say the capacity of there batteries, but it does include the case.
phil cadorette well I can't say I have bought this battery from them but I can say I have purchased a few models from them in the past. Prices are a little high but this is the only online store I deal with that has it in stock. EBay has them too..
said to myself just watch a quick video before I go to sleep , man I never thought it was ever going to stop , that's really impressive bud , nice flying 👍👍👍
hey there frequent flyer just had a question about battery mod is it the 2s 25c 35c or 60c that you used thanks again don't mean to be a pain about this... p.s. have a blue sky, no wind, dron flying day
Damn... this is Way cooler than the Trantula X6 I first purchased a while back. So much like the 501's I have and that are out there. I love this thing, but can't purchase another bloody drone. But if it only had GPS... Then......
To fly in the rain I have discovered CorrosionX. Check it out on flite test channel. I fly my quads in light and medium rain all the time and corrosonX stops all moisture and electrical shorts. It's awesome

+antonio todd I will be glad if someone deviates this thing! Lol
Frequent Flyer RC lol
+antonio todd I want them to deviate this one too! 😆
My original battery in the plastic casing keeps sliding out of the copter where its supposed to stay. May have to use a heavy duty band or something.
+Paul Clement wow. Usually fits really snug!
Make sure the battery housing is tight to the quad. (4 screws on the belly of the quad)

My bug start warning my abaut low signle on 5-10 meter but no problem flying it 150-200 m so something wrong with the telemtry.
+Eyal Dror Yeah, I have 2 and neither of mine does that so it might just be something going on with your transmitter.
That was last night and i really cant go near the plants and bushes or even supposed to be walking there since its, "private"
+Paul Clement you are kidding right? I would go get it and if they ask, tell them you are retrieving your drone!
So my Bugs came today. Happen to have the Tenergy 2200 from the Syma X8 so I ordered the XT30 to Banana adapter. But then I realized that I have to take it in and out the the Bugs battery cage every time.

+Michael Workinger use foam to take up slack
... used adhesive Velco on the battery for shim and it worked really well for the generic 2000mah 25c batteries I have.
22 grams that battery cage. Not having it. It met the trash can.
Michael Workinger I just wrapped 4 rubber bands around the battery . long ways
Good idea..
so when I rewire these esc's(they were to short to resolder the original wires) can I just use ANY similar gauge wires? like off an Xbox cord or would I need specialty wire for the esc's? thanks for responding bro
+Eric B seems like a plan, just don't go smaller
Where did you buy the adapter plug from XT60 to XT30? Thank you!

How you doing frequent flyer What is the battery you're using I would like to see about getting one for myself if you don't mind Bro
The battery was some off brand but the main thing is I changed the connector of the drone to match the battery 👌🏿
What is the “C” rating? One place sell 25, 35, 60 C 2200mAh batts.
+Jim Leffler higher the C rating the better! This one is 25C
I’ll probably try the 60C batt and let you know if it flies or burns...8)

+Nicholas DeLillo no it's not too much. I actually did a video with that setup. Tri-blades shorten fly time.
can that battery plug mod be done with any battery plugs like jst ect.?
+george aura yup but the Youbi Awesome came with an Xt30 to JST cord!
Wow...nice flying. This is a 2s? I have seen the same brand Zippy Compact but 3s fit in the bugs with no modifications (no battery case).
+Doug Kresl This is 2S..
Thanks for the battery tip! I noticed you only got around 4 minutes before LVC. Was that because of the cold? Nice flying too...
+jonkjon Thanks! Yup, the cold
Where do you get the adapters for the battery plug?
+TimmyV I made one but you can get them on Amazon and ebay. XT30 to XT60 adapter
The zippy compact ...is It the 2s 25c 35c or 60c
+Paul Clement 25C
I had lvc at 3.8v resting voltage. punch outs do it. needs higher C batts.
+vashon100 that's bad! 7.4v should be resting voltage for 2S!
I should have said 3.8v/cell. So it was an early trigger of lvc was what I meant. The punchouts take a lot out of the batts and can trigger the lvc. You're using a 35C, and if accurate, should be an improvement. Might need 45C though. At least you showed there's no need to panic when lvc kicks in - ha!
mine does the same at 3.8v / cell , it seems a bit early for me

you have another promotional code for this quad?
I just got the bugs 3 in blue I thank they would be beautiful at night time flying drones with all the lights they have it's my first bugs drone any information would be appreciated thank u Mike Holden out of north Carolina said that
Cool! Bugs protocol is Deviated now (added to supported protocols) so getting your hands on a Jumper T8SG will make it fly a lot better👌🏽
I only took it out maybe four times to charge and use
What if you attach a low voltage alarm to the battery and set it for about 7.6v? Do you think you may be able to get a little more flight time without hurting the battery? Also, what if you use a 3s battery and fly it non aggressively, do you think you'd get longer flight times? Oh, by the way, nice video showing great skills!
+Patricia Petroff Thanks, answer to both your questions is yes 😆
Thanks for the quick response. I subscribed to your channel after this video. Looking forward to viewing more!
+Patricia Petroff Cool! Hope you continue to enjoy it 😁
have u figured y u got a early lvc?
+Jan Domingo nope, don't know why still..
that flies smooth like the hubsan h501s
+george aura indeed
Does the stock charger work with that battery? Or do I need a special one. Many thanks
+Plants and Games Yup, works thru balancing lead
Will the bugs 3 work with a Dev0 7
+TimmyV nope
FFRC, really good review, did you make the adapter or did you buy it? I will definitely be doing this mod.
+gdhall5311 made it but they can be purchased too!
+gdhall5311 Thanks man
black or red version colour is better?
+Geo Dam I like red! Asked Lightake for red but got another black one! :/
I'm thinking mjx x600 batt?
+Eric B if you find a way to plug it in, yes.
shame that it still is only about 5 minutes flying time before it starts beeping, thought it would have had more time in the air at 2200mah
It has a longer fly time, the LVC trigger is false..
Frequent Flyer RC strange you mention that as I wondered whether mine is doing the same, some people apparently manage a good 10 or more minutes from a stock battery where I'm getting about 6-7, I'm wondering whether there is a variation between different units when the low voltage alarm comes in.
When i went after work today about six o'clock there were a few ladies on their front porch and i told them what i was doing. They said they were surprised that some of the neighbors haven't reported me walking sround the complex
+Paul Clement did you find it?
No and hoping that home owners there nay find it.
I really cant go up to those homes and look through their plants and yards
+Paul Clement knock on doors
Love your flying, you are my inspiration. Would you or anybody know if the Bugs 3 will work with the Taranis
and the iRangeX module?
+TheDuncandan Thanks, unfortunately, the Bugs has not been deviated
No problem I ordered one any ways. Thanks again.
cool flying i fly myself im just getting back into quadcopters so im kinda rusty
Thanks, it'll come back to ya
How did u learn to fly that good? I got a bugs 3 about a month ago and im guessing its gonna take me 2 years to fly it like that lol
Repetition my friend. Flying frequently keeps it going and getting familiar
When Summer hits I predict that guys with start burning out ESC's with 3s.
+Michael Workinger lol
does this have altitude hold
+Gregory Lovick no and hopefully it won't get it unless you can toggle it off and on
Hey man! Thanks for all the awesome videos on the bugs 3! I just got mine and see you love it as much as me! Just wondering if you know what 2 bladed props fit this? Thanks bugs crew!
+jrt82 Thanks man! Sure, H501S props are identical
thx for the video, can you share a link to order batteries?
+phil cadorette look for link in description
thx , the supplier " hobbyWow" for stock batteries. are they a reputable seller? nowhere do they say the capacity of there batteries, but it does include the case.
phil cadorette well I can't say I have bought this battery from them but I can say I have purchased a few models from them in the past. Prices are a little high but this is the only online store I deal with that has it in stock. EBay has them too..
what happen with 3s bud?
+Mark Vande Sande doesn't fit in this case
I see that lol
Just ordered one yesterday.. can't wait :)))
Nice
said to myself just watch a quick video before I go to sleep , man I never thought it was ever going to stop , that's really impressive bud , nice flying 👍👍👍
+tony perks lol
Is this better than 3s you tried out
+Robert Gardiner 3S is more power
i ordered that battery cuz ur video, do i need to get an adapter to plug it in the drone? Thanks bro love the vid's!
+Derek Wilson yes, adapter needed. Thanks man, really good to hear! I appreciate you watching and commenting! 😆👌
What and where do you get it bud
+Derek Wilson www.ebay.com/itm/like/282098532973?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
Thanks alot!!
hey there frequent flyer just had a question about battery mod is it the 2s 25c 35c or 60c that you used thanks again don't mean to be a pain about this...
p.s. have a blue sky, no wind, dron flying day
+Paul Clement mine is 25C
well thats all good news didnt know that,what is the price?
+er4 g3 cheap, a little over 100 bucks!
you can use the promo code HYUE on gearbest.com and get it for 89.99
Does it fit with go pro 5 ?
+Azat Yiliyaer should with a little foam to stuff it, but I don't have one to test it..
Azat Yiliyaer it doesnt fit with the camera holder. only go pro3 and 4 can fit.
oh and that performix liquid Tape seems... alright actually lol. i was a lil skeptical about it.. $5 @ wmart. lol.
+Eric B I got some Starbrite liquid tape from Home Depot.. Green!
Damn... this is Way cooler than the Trantula X6 I first purchased a while back. So much like the 501's I have and that are out there. I love this thing, but can't purchase another bloody drone. But if it only had GPS... Then......
+Sean Brooks lol
Bugs 3 Crew, Baby!! Nice flying!!! I Love me some Bugs 3!!!

th-cam.com/video/frkh5SpBkso/w-d-xo.html
thx man i wach that video,the only part im afraid from is the betaflight setting,i never did that befor but i wach how people do it & hop it be fine👌
+er4 g3 this one, as far as I know, has no Betaflight compatibility
To fly in the rain I have discovered CorrosionX. Check it out on flite test channel. I fly my quads in light and medium rain all the time and corrosonX stops all moisture and electrical shorts. It's awesome
+greg nichols indeed I know about CorrosionX
Frequent, I have this drone and it is awesome....... thanks for all the reviews.Peace.
+Vila Monster cool, happy to hear that!
Awesome Flying as Usual Freq!!!! Thanks for all the Greats Tips and Mods You Share with Us!! my Bugs is on its Way!!
+twrecks116 Thanks man, congrats! 😆👌
Just ordered my Bugs. FYi--- you sold those batteries out.
+Michael Workinger Lol, there is a newer bugs on the horizon with GPS and Altitude hold!
I ordered an all-in-one mini VTX for it but I hoping my 600mw VTX+808 #16 fits on it.
... I'm glad I got the old school version.
..... but if showed up with GPS , that would be cool.
+Michael Workinger indeed! That would be kinda cool but I like old-school version best! 😆
Thanks for figuring this out for us all lol. good to know with mine.
+Inconsistent TechDad no problem, thanks for watching man
Awesome flying FF 👍
+Dod Rc Thanks Dod
