Video Overview
Welcome back to the channel, everyone! Despite the dreary onset of winter, with its cold, leafless trees, and constant rain, there’s always a silver lining for us hobbyists—new packages! Today, I’m pretty sure we’ve got a set of motors that are destined for a 4″ quad build. So, let’s escape this chilly weather, dive into the package, and see what goodies await.
Inside the Box: MEPS 1804 3500 KV Motors
Once we’re cozily back indoors, it’s time to unwrap our treasures. True to my hunch, inside the package are the motors I’ve been eagerly anticipating：
- MEPS 1804 3500 KV Motors
- Cool space-themed MEPS Stickers
The packaging itself is impressive, signaling the quality of the contents. As I unbox one of the motors, the first thing that strikes me is its aesthetic appeal and the attention to detail in its construction.
What’s Included:
- A well-crafted SZ 1804 3500 KV Motor
- A quality control card from MEPS, ensuring the motor meets their high product standards and technical requirements
- Accessories including a washer, a spare C clip, and two different sizes of screws for mounting
First Impressions
The 1804 3500 KV motors are not just about looks; they feel robust, with strong magnets and thoughtful design touches like epoxy or silicone at the wire ends to prevent damage during crashes or rough handling. This level of detail promises durability and reliability, essential for any serious FPV quad build.
The Build: An Apex 4″ Frame Transformation
Intending to mount these motors on an Apex 4″ frame, I already have a similar quad built with 1505 Motors at 3750 KV
Those motors perform well, but I’m keen to see how the MEPS 1804s compare in terms of power and flight dynamics.
After a smooth assembly process, the MEPS motors find their new home on the Apex frame. They look like they truly belong, enhancing both the aesthetic and the promise of performance of the build.
The Maiden Flight: A Testament to Power and Precision
With everything in place, including an analog TBS UniFi Pro 32 and a Caddx Ratel camera, it’s time to take this newly assembled quad for its maiden flight.
Flight Impressions
The maiden flight is nothing short of impressive. The MEPS 1804 3500 KV motors deliver abundant power, making the Apex 4″ quad a joy to fly. Even in near-freezing temperatures, the excitement of piloting this build keeps the cold at bay.
Closing Thoughts: A Successful Build with MEPS Motors
The MEPS 1804 motors have proven to be an excellent choice for the Apex 4″ frame, offering the perfect blend of power, efficiency, and durability. This build is a testament to the quality of MEPS motors and their capability to enhance the FPV flying experience.
Thank you for joining me on this build and flight adventure. Despite the cold, the thrill of flying keeps us warm. Stay tuned for more episodes, and consider grabbing some MEPS motors for your next build. Until next time, take care and happy flying!
