Wow, pretty decent racer you got. Only thing we need to solve now is the lag or how to connect proper RC TX...

Nice! How much improvement with the upgrade motors and also with the antenna mod? Thanks!

@stewe12, yeah that would be nice, especially the lag. Can be bit of a motor killer when you pull up too late and hit the wall in fast mode, no prop guards and no luck! I feel like the lag is less without the prop guards but I'm sure that's a placebo, haha.

@xcrost, I'm still testing the differences. I reakon without a wifi repeater the antenna mod does improve range but alas more testing is needed to be sure. The motors might be a little fast once you change out all four stock motors for the racerstar ones. Although I'm not 100% sure as a single racerstar motor works well with the other stock 3 motors as well. This to me says they are of similar specs, unless the tello is compensating for it and running that single motor at a different speed to the others when hovering.

I got some cheap scales and it clocks in at 75g. Dunno how accurate the scales are though. The stock tello (with prop guards) comes in at 91g.

Here's a comparison photo, the modded tello looks faster, lol...

cheers,
