- 8-motor drones are typically used for lifting heavy payloads, like cinematic movie cameras. We don't have any fancy heavy cameras, but Shawn decided to build an X8 anyway. Guess we're just gonna have to send it.

Will this work for any frame with 16x16 mounting holes or just with the cl1 frames?
@@rightpricemedia8852 it should work with almost any 16x16 mounting hole frame.
yaaaa sik!
I always feel so sorry for Shawn, because he spends so much time building this stuff and he sees you guys literally DESTROYING it😂
😅😇😈
Doesn't matter, Shawn's the real star of RR.
It's like dad building stuff for his boys.
Yer i was thinking the same. But then he gets payed to do what he loves 😃👊
Did you ever thing he likes the challenge of building thing to see if he can make it unreal able lol
But will it fly with only 4 props?!
on just the front 4 motors....
Nope. It shot to the moon on arming with 3 missing, so it'll do the same with 4 missing. Even if it is one on each arm...
If they turn off the half-broken "air mode" (or use pretty much any other flight control firmware) then maybe it will work...
Will it fly without props?
yes
@@TLK22
@@troyleigers8433 yes because when you’re back for motors go out, it goes into butterfly rescue mode so when it failsafes for butterflies swooping to take the load of the four non-running motors. Floats like a butterfly and like a bee. Speedybee 😂
I feel like this build could have really benefited from a 6s battery and more mAh.
Bubby in the interviewer seat for the first half--he's really getting fully integrated into the team. I had no idea his rates were that low, though! You'd never believe it from his flight videos, because there's such a sense of constant motion and interaction with the environment.
I am really enjoying the direction that this channel has taken. It went from a "cool pilot showcase" to a truly informational channel. Don't get me wrong, having an occasional flight video for the sake or showing a cool flight is cool, and even a decent vlog can be appropriate. But people like information, and they come to youtube to find information... not just to see cool guys do cool things, especially when the "cool stuff" gets repetitious. Anyway, I *REALLY* enjoy Shawn's builds coupled with Bubby's abilities and fresh attitude. Great job!
People love to complain, but other then them and flite test I can't think of many other channels that put out this kind of content regularly. It'll be nice when covid is over and they can do some travelling and get more guests back on though.
As soon as I saw it I thought " how do you land it?" apparently I'm an idiot because the answer is "carefully."
Nah. Landing is easy: Fly it near the ground and just disarm. Taking off is the problem. However you do it, you'll be doing some damage to the props unless you take off from a wooden block or something that holds it in the centre without touching the props... At that point it's easier to just put landing gear on it.
@@Vousie Wooden blocks are hard to find
Shawn is truly a mad scientist. Y’all did good by bringing him on the RR crew. Much love guys keep doing what you doing
Thanks brother. I am happy that people are enjoying my creations.
@@LetsFlyRC it’s not a problem at all brother. Your creations definitely keep things interesting as well as spark creativity in others. I personally appreciate it.
Wait, what? Does Bubby have a spoiler on his Drib frame?
Yessir!!
Re: Bubby's Spoiler
Bubby, seriously explains: "I think it makes it go, like at least 1,000 miles an hour."
Drew, nods head, matter of factly: "Yeah"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Reminded me of "The Little Rascals" having meaningful conversations about nothing where in real life everyone's wrong. 🤣🤣🤣
Funniest part of the video. 😂
@@LetsFlyRC Haha! I thought the funniest part was when Drew was flying talking about feeling like Vanover and when he first started flying. Hahaha! So funny.
10:00 "I don't want to mess with it"
Is that why you are taking off props until it crashes?
Love how he keeps hinting.... See how it says "land now?".... "Lemme try 5 more tricks"
Abandoned golf course. With a nicely mowed grass and a fountain in the background. What alternate reality is this?
Florida
IM GOING WITH ITS BANK OWNED AND THE BANK IS IN DENIAL. LOL
With groups of golfers in golf carts and all....hmm
Hitting a powerline and landing in a tree, and the pulls out a metal pole to get it down feels like something that should only happen in cartoons :)
hello! please, tell me what a controller do you use and esc's? I want to build the same, but SpeedyBee F405V3 has only 6pins for esc#2 (GND, M5-M8, TEL). what wiring do you do on your quad? thanx, cool video!
I think we should call this hex
“Edward” Scissorhands
love to see shark byte in there
After building a bunch of these X8 config drones i have found they work better as a 8 motor quadcopter ( each pair of motors rotating the same direction run by one signal wire) , done like this they will fly with only 4 props.
Ya'll need to quit SCREWING AROUND and build a MANNED ROTOR RIOT MOBILE! 😁👍
It's hilarious how this is turning into a "let's break the mad scientist's toys" show. (I mean that in a good way)
Yeah I don't know about that last dude. Like seriously just fly the damn thing and stop trying to be the dude to come up with something that nobody has at that point. Because he's so cool haha look what I did. Like bro fly the damn thing or get the F out of here.
Already did it with your HD 7”… it’s awesome! Even made the 3d files for the motor mounts.
Link for the mounts?
9:36 I've never actually seen a fly away before, That was kinda scary lol
i have had a quad with the wrong motor direction and prop direction! it flew away but i disarmed in time to have it fall out of the sky!
Great video, good to see you are using shark byte in this video. Hope to see a review soon.
I love the atmosphere in this video! Its just chill, having some fun... what the hobby is aal about!
100% agree!
Bubby with that spoiler😂😂😂
😂
I’ve probably watched 50 of your videos. The drone on the water tower is the one that finally got me to subscribe.
That's exactly how it feels. That's exactly how Vanover feels. 😂😂😂😂😂
You could definitely have a take off mode that disables the bottom motors until you're off the ground. Don't ask me how to do that though
We thought about that, but, couldn’t come up with a way to do it in the fc
I'm not sure that's possible in Betaflight.
What battery were you running?
Tattu 1550 funfly. We brought bigger batteries, just in case, but didn't need them. We were getting 3-4 minute flights on the std battery I use for 5" freestyle.
@@LetsFlyRC 1550 is even more impressive. Great job.
@@LetsFlyRC You ran it down under 10V multiple times; maybe you did need that bigger battery???
Ninja Derek. Too cool. And whaddup Drew and Bubby? Cool video as always. I need Bubby's shirt - my wife (ex, shwew!) bought me a knockoff Chinese RotorRiot shirt haha. It's cool tho - terminator version ha.
And btw, I actually really love that HGLRC Zeus FC. Great board. I have at least 3. Oh 2, I landed one in wet grass. Poof. But that's an excellent FC, highly recommended. Keep on doing what your doin. Good stuff.
What size and Kv are the motors?
First😂
Cool stuff! Like the print colors. My favorite color combo! Reminds me of Retro 80's I have it on all my quads. Nice flying bubby👍
This awesome might try on skyliner and get some more drib motors youll should try too by getting your parts from Rotorriot.com
Love your videos, you guys got me into FPV, got my first RTF Starter Kit 3 days ago and I'm loving every minute of it and I can't wait to get better and upgrade!
Wouldn't it be possible to control the drone with only four motor outputs and then switch the motor cables so that the lower ones spin in the opposite direction?
It would probably fly fine, although, I haven’t tried it.... yet... ;)
@@LetsFlyRC Looking forward to an X8 conversion of a toothpick :D (similar to the octocopter you guys tested a while ago, but maybe a project to actually convert an already existing smaller quadcopter to X8 with those 3d printed adapters)
@@STK66 dang it. Stop spoiling the secrets before I make them. 😂
@@LetsFlyRC Reading you like a book. :D But I'm seriously looking forward to what you are cooking up next! :)
What TX system is he using? Why is that a immortal T on the internal system of the xlite?
Any explanation? Did you mod it and put a crsf nano in there?
I modded the xlite to be only crossfire, by removing the internal frsky tx. There are tutorials out there on how to do it.
I basically created my own version of a tango.
That difference between stabilized footage and dvr. It covers up everything. I hate it. 😂
It did make a big difference in this video, didn’t it? :) fixes a bad tune, but, still doesn’t make a good pilot. ;)
@@LetsFlyRCdebateable 😅
@@LetsFlyRC let's be honest. It does make a bad pilot look good. No more need for flying smooth. Real steady and go
Lol, I love u guys experiments
Great video I love the channel 💯❤️👊
I was into Drones so much in 2017 it was my life and I've built over 50 quads since but I split my time&funds between Scale trucks, eflite planes and drones😀 it's complicated 🤯😜🤨🇬🇧🤘
dji must be happy about the sharkbyte
What's the name of the first pilot? Cant find him at all and tried to find out his age
His pilot name is BubbyFPV and he's 16.
th-cam.com/users/bubbyfpv
you should have higher pitch blades on the bottom as the bottom props get high speed air
9:38 To the moon! lol
Great video just bought my first fpv drone from your store can't wait to fly it.
Honestly, just for carrying a GoPro, would you recommend buying a cinalifter with 8 motors and putting a much bigger battery on it? Seems dumb, but I kinda wana try…
Lol you guys dropped this video the day after my friend crashed his X8 doing freestyle😂 I made the comment I don't think X8's are made for regular freesyle LMAO🤣
16:10 shark byte cuts out at little under 7 voltas man , rip battery
Yeah, I'm like "wait a minute" *looks at Shark Byte manual where it says it takes 7 to 26 volts. I'm getting ready for a toothpick build with the whoop board and I'm planning to use a 10 volt pad to power the VTX.
@@Perforator2000 you done even need to , I run mine on vbat on my 4" lightweight and it's completely fine with a tiny cap
@@nistax2880 I was thinking about running it off Vbat, but it will be easier for me to solder to the 10V pad on this setup.
@@Perforator2000 if the 10v has enough power than ye to for it
@@nistax2880 I hope it does. Part of the reason I decided to upgrade this quad to Shark Byte is that the 5V regulator on the FC is bad and causes the VTX to black out on fast flips and rolls. I'll try the 10V first and if it fails I'll go to Vbat.
Twas frikin awesome
Very interesting...... so besides it being smooth and powerful. Do you guys feel it could make a great freestyle machine and if so in what size and configuration (motor/prop)?
First to like
Hey, I just posted an idea in my community. It could possibly be that 3D drones can be improved using 8 motors. But the trick would be that when idling, the opposite motors blow on each other, so to speak, give each other thrust. Only when you accelerate in one direction on the remote the motors collapse and both motors will give trust the same way... It might have the advantage that you can accelerate the change in direction of rotation, because you have 50% of the motors rotating in the correct direction which also will support the other motor (by wind to the props) to change it's direction of rotation. I currently lack the know-how and money for it. If anyone can say something about it, I would be happy. Otherwise it would be one of the projects I have in mind, but it could take years before I can realize something like that.
Great segment !
happy owner of a proudly built Y6 build , but suffering battery problems ( succed the only battery i gave him right away so much she doesnt charge anymore)
which battery did you feed this monster ?
i love exotics configurations like that !
I’m building a octocopter need some help please 1 Velox f7 2 velox v50A ESC’s
This is looking cool battery fryer.. what is next ? And 16-copter..??? So 8 arms X 2 engine each ??
Annnndddd then we give it to Drew.
Bigger quad bigger battery right? Well at least you need a lipo battery that is 1 time bigger because you lost flight time and maybe higher c rating
We were using a tattu funfly 1550 4s and flying for 3-4 min
@@LetsFlyRC insane For such Battery Pack or those are some effecient motors how many amps did it actually pull on a full trothle?
@@Retrograde99 🤷♂️ I never measured the amps. I don’t have the patience to calibrate the current meter. 😂
Interesting concept. I like the reaction from Drew after the tune. Sounds sweet!
lipo-power cord for goggles INSIDE SHIRT ? NO! short that cable however way and its gonna leave a nasty burn mark.
alrighty so.... i just decided to get going on a cinelifter. surprisingly this just answered a bunch of my questions!
Love Shaun. But the kid is not really growing on me yet.....
I miss finalglide and skitzo and stingy on here
@@jackdowns6122 I bet if you gripe about it enough in the comments they'll come back
What's with all the shark byte gear?
RedCat bought Fat Shark 🤪
Please put a giant old VHS Camcorder on that thing 😂
All this needs is some landing feet and you are golden.
That's thing is sic ! I'm green and have couple 7s . Two blade . Wonder were I could get an experienced time to load
hello，can i refer your Pid Settings？ my X8 is very shaky not understand how to fix it
why is it always drib and random people now? drib is the guy nobody wants to listen to but is there anyway LOL rotor riot has gone down the drain
one question how you make tpu design for down motor dude its work perfectly i saw it...
Have you thought about an X8 3D. The upper 4 Motors for the up direction, and the lower 4 ones for the other dirction. So the change to reverse should go smoother... some idea for Shawn?
i was actually thinking that lol
Badass great job
Ok, but is it props in or props out?
both, lol
@@LetsFlyRC shaun top props in bottom props out yes to me thats the only way or the other way round realy injoyed this one glad you got to crash your own build for a change lol have a good week bro
AwEsOmE sTuFf!
the guy who wears makeup always breaks everyone elses shit like he has no respect
link to stl fil fcc and esc? this is so tempting! for building a rescue drone :D
went to store to find some stuff. ended buying other stuff i dont realy need... i thinkXD
All details are in the comments / description
@@LetsFlyRC HOLY CRAP!!! Reply from Shawn The Mad FPV Engineer :D ok that made my day! boosterpack +10
'Abandoned golf course'... I live in London😭😭😭
I like that addition of the extra motor assembly option!🤙
never liked airmode, i always just set minimum armed motor speed.
but can we attach a motor to the motor thats attached to the motor????
NOOOO WHY Bottom props running backwards?!
Betaflight said so... 😂
@@LetsFlyRC No like I know each arm has to have counter rotating props.. but it looked like you were running some bottom props backwards to get thrust in the right direction. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Alex_whatever the props have to be mounted where the label surface faces up or forward
@@LetsFlyRC I expected to see what you describe but I saw the opposite.
At least it looked that way in the video. Maybe was an illusion.
Thank you guys you helped me find my passion
I didn't know Gaten Matarazzo was into drones
and you call that shit Digital? You cant hate on DJI !!!!
Are those sharkbytes? 👀
Yoooo that’s looks sketchy lol
what controller and goggle combo are you using
Rotor riot has changed so much...
do you have the motor mounts in the store yet I cant find them
they can't fly some LOS so you can see it in the air?
Wow! Actual innovation. Really cool.
Has anyone build this on a 5" frame?
That shit about Vanover was hilarious
Bro the starting conversation sounds so scripted
Interesting that they are using Shark Byte
put a 1800mAh or 2200 mAh battery on it!
Heavy lift was big 5 years ago...
Hey guys where did u get that extendo kit
It flies like crap but the idea is still fun.
When testing crazy things, I disable airmode and put it on a mode switch. I'll flip off airmode to stop a flyaway before I try disarm.
