P5G - Stanced 5" Tank Frame Prototype

Date

May 2024

Shop

Introducing P5G. This is made for all the peeps who like to freestyle hard and crash often. There's tons of frames like this in the market, but what makes this different than other frames? Well, it's got a sick stance, it's very compact, allowing it to look like a short brute with it's 6mm thick T700 CF arms. The rest of the Plates are 3mm thick all around and comes with a full set of lightweight, minimalist and functional TPU prints. Stand offs are dog bone style which have a larger diameter than the usual. I carved out weight everywhere I could, you can't see it from here, but the 3mm top plate is carved out from underneath too. The bottom plate is also completely milled out of 6mm raw 7075-T6 aluminum to finish the brutal look. Recently I crashed it into a tree, from about 3 stories high, disarmed and it dropped right onto concrete. Fortunately the only damage was two torn motor wires and a broken screw. Now I have more info on how to make it stronger. So I created motor wire wraps which hold the wires securely, giving it a unique look to boot. The frame surprisingly has very low vibration characteristics. I have the Gyro and D-filter all the way to 1.6 in BF and only after it started to show some noise. I'm sure you can turn off gyro low pass filters too, why not. This thing rips pretty smooth, especially with just a O3 AU or a lightweight action cam on top. Hope you enjoy flying it as much as I do!!
