Kraken drone quadcopter frame review from boltrc. This fpv racing frame is every bit as impressive as it looks. Very fast and very agile. It has amazing flight characteristics, awesome speed and turns on a dime. Not recommended for first time builders or proxy flying, but if you are after one of the quickest pure racing frames you can get. K5, KX. there is also the Kraken 6 or K6. You cant go past the Kraken from boltRC if you want a serious FPV racing quadcopter – http://boltrc.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=62_149

Cool Stu.?
uavfutures i love the look of frame but i live usa and i need a pod for my kraken 5r, im hoping it will be fast and fly great after i get any type mm pod ,need hs1177 bracket and two backup arms but its so expensive to get from austrailia
what does the kraken 5r weigh?? wonder how light i can build one with strong 2600kv motors like f40 pro 2306 silver winding?
why does some folks have only two screws into motors? ive got a rasvelg stretch and love it so far but wish it was lighter 330g without lipo or gopro

Why would you prefer a unibody over seperate arms? I would think it would be better because you can swap out an arm rather than the whole frame if you break it.
Why the 8v reg. Most VTX require 6.5v or higher. Most RX require 10v or less. Also, the HS1177 is flakey at 5v.
Remember the old days where you had to feed 12v to the VTX cam. 7-9v sits in the sweet spot and IMO, all quads should be made this way.
If you have a really need a specific voltage 5V or 12v, just add the polulu, the dedicated mount takes care of that.
Hey Stew, do you really think this is a better or faster frame than the Helix? It certainly seems more robust.
If you had to race one these in a race for your life, which one would you choose?
Hey Stew, you should do a Build tutorial for the Realacc X210, as far as it is currently a superfamous frame, especially in the set from Banggood with the 2300kv/2600kv motors.
Love your build videos and I'm sure a lot of people would really appreciate it.

Hopefully BoltRC have picked up their game when it comes to customer service.. Very unimpressed with them in the past.
You try and support a local business and end up getting better service and products over seas!
P.S. I like to pimp my bodies up, with designs and colour combos etc.
If you want you can send your shell to me with a design or idea and I'll paint it up for you, I also have a friend that used to do car bodies semi professionally he's way better than me!. You can check out some of my stuff on Pintrest, just look up Paul Garwood.
I'd be happy to help.
Hi Stew
Going in to my RC Car mode, the polycarbonate or Lexan should be very resilient, pending the thickness and design of course.
As for drilling holes I'd invest in a body reamer (that's if your going to use it more than once). The body reamer is what we use to mount our car body shells on to the posts. Good reamers will have measured marks in mm/cm which should allow you to accurately ream the polycarbonate and make a nice even hole/S. Now it's just really a pointed cone with two sharp edges that do all the cutting. It's pointed on the end so you can accurately start your hole, push it in to the polycarbonate until it starts to penetrate and twist the reamer and apply a little pressure twist until you get the size you want. They cost $15-20 and are so much better than trying to use a drill. I only ever did that once! Also the good thing about polycarbonate is you can paint the inside (with polycarbonate paint, Tamiya is easiest to get) and it doesn't scratch up. Only the out side gets a beating and your quad should look cool.
Tamiya do have a nice Fluorescent Pink!
Happy flying
Nice review thanks for all your great content
Wondering if the Helix vTx would fit in the frame, its standup SMa connector would make for an easy vTx/antenna installation.
I was wondering when you were going to get around to posting this. Good timing, I've got two on the way. Going super light on one with the new 24gram skitzos and then big motor on the other for the UTT tracks. Nice job on the write up!
That looks crazy powerful nice build!
Well under the arm, the ESCs are way better protected in a crash than on the arms.
Love those pink props! thumbs up
hey will you sell me one of your drones the owl with yellow tris on it
The arms are designed like that to make a quick fix when a crash happens at the race without needing an entire new frame. Great video bro! I've been on the edge of building this or the the new Helix next!
Finally!!!
