I’ve managed to re-negotiate the prices with some of my suppliers and I’m passing on those savings to you. The base Tricopter V3 kit is now only $85 – $10 cheaper! and a Kit with Naze32 frame and PowerDistribution-BEC frame is now only $118! In fact almost half of the products now have slightly lower prices.
Thank you for your awesome support, and for being awesome.
Thats great. how much will the mini tricopter be with the PDB NAZE 32 and the rcexplorer motors ESCs and props ect. No the fpv gear.
Great news!!!!!!
Could you BE more awesome?!? 😀
@David I’m about to pull the trigger on some DYS 1806 2300Kv motors for an improved 3S setup of the 250 class mini tricopter… But seeing the nice RCExplorer branded DYS2208 motors for the 330 class version, I’d like to know if there is a chance you’d reveal the plans for the coming hardware extensions in the shop I already have the DYS 30A and DYS20A ESCs on order, but would MUCH rather throw my money at you! 😀
I will have RCExplorer branded DYS2208 – 1800kV motors, DYS-SN20A ESC’s and HQ6x4.5 props on the store at the same time as the Mini Tricopter 🙂
Wow, that’s great news @David! So all one needs to stock beforehand is the Tx/Rx, VTx/VRx, board camera, some wire and a XT60 connector along with lots of 1800MAh 4S 40C lipos 🙂 Looking forward to the recommended setup etc 🙂
F**** i ordered the complete set 8 h before you drop the price … i paid 137 $ instead of 118 $ … do will give me a refund?
Also the shipping was lowered … i paid $ 196.50 yesterday … 8h later i would pay $ 169.50 🙁 🙁 🙁
There is a coupon code option in the shop. You might want to take your query directly to David instead of to the comments. What ever is reasonable is better discussed with David directly. I made an similar order less than two weeks ago – should I get a refund? I think not, I was willing to pay what the items were sold for then (and stocked by RCExplorer at the old agreement with the suppliers).
Hello David!
Thank you for a great site!
I would like to order a complete tricopter in your shop. Able to set the webshop page up for a “all parts inclusive tricopter”? Would like your latest tricopter with motors, esc, frame/Naze32 board, tiltmech, props, all of it! RX of my own…
Thank you!

At the time being, I’m not selling the electronics (beside the servo) or the props. This might change in the future, but right now I can only recommend you to order the kit with NAZE32+Power Distribution Frame from the store and order your motors, esc’s, propellers, etc. using the “recommended setup” list. All the components in the lists are linked to suppliers!
Cheers,
David
Too bad, I was looking forward to the branded motors and fast delivery from Sweden! 🙂 Looking forward to the “recommended setup” list with suppliers.
Any news on a ETA on the CNC milled frame?
Cheers,
Terje
I will stock electronics (motors, ESC’s and props) for the Mini Tricopter 🙂
The comment above was regarding the larger tricopter
Had me worried there for a minute! 🙂
Are the DYS 20A ESCs for the mini not suited for the full size tricopter as well? And on that note, have you tried the the mini setup on the full sized frame? They weigh roughly the same?
The SN20A running BLHeli doesn’t work well with larger motors. They have trouble keeping sync and they stutter on startup. They might fix this in later BLHeli releases but at the moment I wouldn’t recommend using them on the larger copters, unless you flash them with SimonK
Not to be to blunt David, but you actually DO recommend the SN20s as the primary with “simon k or blheli” –> http://rcexplorer.se/product/tricopter-v3-kit/ 🙂
Guess i will have to refresh my SN20s with simon k 😉
I see that everyone has pretty much abandoned the KK2 boards – but – I bought one a while ago, and have just gotten around to building my tricopter (based on the original flite test videos).
so – my question – regarding the front propellers – looking down from above the tricopter – originally – David recommended that the LEFT arm rotated clockwise (CW)…and right arm rotates CCW, like the rear arm.
It seems that the new advise it to have left and rear rotating CCW, and the RIGHT arm rotating CW. I was going to use David’s original video about setting up the KK2 board…so… how should I set up those front arms? Old recommendation, or new?
Thanks guys!
I would use the new layout. The KK board doesn’t care.
