TanQ S 3.5" DIY Build Kit - 4S - by Let's Fly RC

I own 2 Tanq 2s that I bought BNF and I built a Tanq S using some different motors. It was my very first build, and I had some issues with soldering (I am improving), but I finally got it all dialed in a flying and I LOVE IT!!!! Let's Fly RC TPU parts are just second to none in quality and design as well as the aluminum front camera cage. I can comfortably fly at anything and I know when I smack a metal bar doing 20-50mph, my camera is safe. I did take his build video advice and I used the mount from the pro spec build. I love the camera tilt. I did modify the tune a little just to match my rate preferences and flying this has made me a better freestyle pilot. It has taken a few crashes, and it hasn't had more than some broken props. I LOVE MY TANQs! If you're new, buy one, if you want to build, Sean's tutorial on YouTube will get you through this one EASY mode, and it is satisfying when you are finished and you get it all tuned and flying. I am starting to understand why people still build them and enjoy the process as well as it helps when you need to fix them. Buy 1 or 2, buy 1 of each! You won't be disappointed.

This thing is simply amazing. Makes me a better freestyle pilot. I’ve had a lot of quads and this is my favorite freestyle quad ever. It has taken everything I’ve thrown at it. I’m building a second one now. Probably won’t build anymore 5” freestyles for a while. Need those motors to come in!

Top plate is a weak link

Well I now know why it fell out of the sky. The motors crapped out. Do your self a favor and just purchase the frame and maybe the control board but don't buy the kit choose your own motors, in true Rotor Riot fashion they sell cheap parts at very expensive price. Like a dummy I did buy another motor, I just did not want to purchase 4 new motors for a kit I spent nearly 515 dollars for, in hopes to get this thing in the air for longer than 2 minutes.

So far Its ok at best. Nothing to brag about here. The build video came out long after the kits were sold so in other words you looked at pictures to figure out how the build was to go. Not hard to do though. The other problem is the cheap components (opinion) On the maiden flight took her out anf gave it a good punch up and it fell out of the sky faster than it rose up to. What caused the crash is unknown at this time but no other build that I have done just quit working so... It is a tough frame though like the name , it fell like a rock, but completely stayed in tact like a tank. Will give it another go and if there is improvement Ill say so and may even change from 4 star to 5 will just have to see.
