Best 3.5" FPV Freestyle Drone - HappyModel Crux35

You can sell it to me for a much lower price😅

Hallo. Can you recommend this crux35 for beginners in the FPV world? Greatings from Germoney...

When a motor is twitching like that and doesn’t like to start up (but eventually does and then works fine) is it normally the motor or the esc that is the problem? I have one on a betafpv tiny whoop that is doing that so I’d like to get the parts ordered before it quits working for good but I’m not sure which to order…. Thank you for all the great videos!

what lipos

Is it better a 4s 650 or a 850?😢

One question bro .....pls reply .... analog version means..... video analog no .... correct....in my mind little confusing analog video digital what is the difference between

You fly pretty fast. I just starting out and it is horrible.

How is the durability of this frame since it’s so light? I like this quad but I want to fly office parks

Appreciate the thoughtful analysis. I notice the Version2 of the Crux35 now uses CrazyF4111 FC that has 20A -I guess they listened to your feedback Darren :)

That jello T__T

Nice review, crux35 vs tinyhawk II freestyle who the Winner? Thanks

hmmm... I wonder if the Five33 tpu parts would fit on this machine.

I think the Emax Babyhawk 2 HD is the best 3.5" quad, and it was the first! It gives a ton of flight time, even on a small 450mah 4s, for maximum Power to Weight Ratio, and will also give well over 20 minutes on a Li-ion large battery. I'm of the belief that the manufacturers just choose a lipo, without trying several, and we a;l end up flying what they choose! But, if we experiment, we'll find that for the Babyhawk 2 HD and the Crux35 HD, a small 450mah 4s is what gives us the ultra performance we all want. IT RIPS! And still gives plenty of flight time!

Do you have a good tune for the HM Crux35 HD? The one that comes with it kinda sucks, with lots of oscillations on middle to high throttle and lots of prop wash. Thanks, and nice review! LIKED! :)

Do you think the Frsky version with an added ELRS receiver would perform the same or better or worse than the ELRS version?

If you use a different motor that doesn't have plugs, you can just attach a male JST plug to it. You needn't remove the female plugs and solder direct to the board.

Anyone added a crossfire reciever?

is it posible to instal gps on this quad?

Ola.
Pode ser usado em quintal da casa.
E em praças ?

Great vid Darren! How does this compare to the Roma 35 you reviewed ?

What are the dimensions of those gates?

I'm with you on the 12A ESCs sketching me out on such a relatively large model. HappyModel has been going hard with ELRS lately, so you'd think that version would come with 20A ESCs just like the FrSky version does. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise because, with HappyModel especially, you just know the alternative is them lying about their rating. It's a good thing they haven't because I doubt they want a repeat of that BetaFPV 4S whoop board fiasco from 2-3 years ago where a bunch of people popped theirs when they used it as advertised and retailers had to post an addendum saying "3S only from now on".

Aside from reliability, I find ESCs to arguably be the most important determining factor in quad performance (especially for top end and minimizing throttle bob), so it makes me wonder if getting the 20A FrSky version and slapping a discrete ELRS receiver on it since they're so cheap is the way to go if you're still keen on using ELRS.

Can you please tell me how tall the standoffs are?

Can you still add a crossfire receiver?

I just ordered the Frsky/DJI version. This will be my first 3.5 inch quad. I really enjoy my 3 inch Tadpole and my 4 inch Fouride is great too. It looks like there are only maybe 2 propellers available for 3.5 so far. Pretty low pitch props too. I mainly bought this because it was on clearance and for just a little bit more money than what the Vista Polar unit costs, I get a frame, FC/ESC and motors too. Other than my Tinyhawk 2, this is the first bottom battery mount quad I own. I wonder how much different that might feel.

Cool review mate! Nice one

I love the way the Crux 35 flys. But it isn’t durable. I broke a frame and now my fc doesn’t work. It just dropped out of the sky. Now it doesn’t even light up . That being said I also have the Geprc Smart 35. It flies great and seems more durable.

how do you bind this pissing thing?

Great review and great format. Lots of effort goes into such production. Thank you!!

Would you have the chance to test the vista version? It should be 10-20g heavier which on small 1404 should be felt and which could potentially impact the flight characteristics…

I have the crux 3 and love it. Awesome review as usual mate.

I must say I really like your reviews, short and to the point, thanks a lot! just yesterday I came across your "best 3.5" you can't buy" video with the 2fiddy frame, 4" arms and 3.5" props. for overall freestyle flying experience which of the two do you think is better? I already own the Crux35 (but haven't flown it yet because I'm still waiting for my ELRS TX to arrive), but I'd be happy to build "your" quad if you still think it's better. thanks again! PS I also have the GEPRC Smart35 (which bardwell considers the best 3.5") but again, haven't flown it yet for the same reason

What do you think Is the best all round 3.5”?
