Rimzler’s latest teardown has taken a deep dive into the Newbeedrone Hummingbird Whoop Race Spec V2, and it’s clear this little marvel is not just another lightweight contender; it’s practically weightless at a mere 16.5 grams. Designed for anyone with a penchant for speed (or reckless abandon), it packs some impressive kit: brushless 0702 motors whirring away at 30,000KV, a custom F4 flight controller, and an extreme camera angle that leaves little room for leisurely flying.
In terms of durability, this featherweight doesn’t quite crumble at the first sign of trouble. The frame and TPU mounts are built to bounce back rather than break, meaning you can crash with the same grace as a hippo on roller skates without too much concern for catastrophic failure. Just don’t expect to be performing any fancy tricks; this drone is strictly for the racing purists who thrive on high-speed chases rather than casual jaunts about the park.
Now, if you’re thinking of using it for freestyle flying, you might want to reconsider—its steep camera angle is akin to trying to navigate London traffic while wearing blinders. For those willing to roll up their sleeves, however, there’s potential for a mod or two here and there, should you fancy tweaking that camera angle for a more relaxed aerial experience.
All in all, the Hummingbird RS V2 is a brilliant option for expert pilots or those ready to take racing seriously, promising resilience and performance that’s as rare as a sunny day in Blighty. If you fancy a gander at the video review, it’s right here:
