I’m hoping… thinking, this is a good one. Ordered from GearBest, 12.99 on 21 May, arrived today (28th June) to the UAE. Here’s some piccies. It works great and seems exactly the same as one I have had for a few months (but paid more for with different tail switch)
I would say:“Yes”. It’s identical to the one I bought from Gearbest. The 105D driver is directly soldered to the pill because there is not enough room for a retainer ring.
Sorry, I don’t know how to make a real one which actually looks all rainbow-flame colored like that…
… but if it really existed, I’d buy a bunch of them.
I know how to build a triple and flash it, but RMM already does that better and cheaper than I could. So, you could buy one from him, or you could make one yourself. RMM sells all the parts, and the total for everything is about $50 including a high-amp battery.
I’ve seen some DIY-type stuff about how to anodize aluminum in various colors. Some of them even use Kool-Aid mix as the colorant (dye). So, doing your rainbow host might not be that hard. Maybe you could start the anodizing in clear, then use a paint brush to paint colors onto it. Perhaps let the colors dry on, then wipe away excess and finish anodizing to set the colors in.
You can do rainbow fades just by dipping it in colors in a certain order. To create flames you could then mask where you want flames, strip and dye a background color (orange in TK’s pic). Some of the thin feather lines would likely be difficult.
There are quite a few home anodizing guides around.
It’s that multi-color S2 body I was after for a GB, pre-loaded with your terrific software. I already modded several of the boring grey ones. The S2 Series is really a modders delight for the price, as you mention. And now we have the ReyLight for more modding fun………at more expense.
