RCX ZMR 1804 2400KV Brushless Motors

To my first review it’s fair to beggin with the very first motor that I use in my first DIY drone, RCX ZMR 1804 2400KV. I set it in f250 glass fiber quad. In fist lookup RCX are small and light motors but powerfull anyway. Exactly 13.4g, so perfect to set and don’t be worried about the weight. Furthermore, it’s diameter only 23mm, 5mm in axis.

This date match with a Spanish Christmas tradition named “día de los reyes magos” (Three Kings Day). Then I have received my first quadcopter. My first impression the little toy doesn’t made me feel so fortunately. It was a little Syma X12S, white painted. My first experiences were involved two short flights. Furthermore, my new little "friend" seemed to be damaged (it was). My first lookup made me feel that this play would be short in time. On the other hand, I had a previous related toy, a helicopter, that was boring almost from the beginning. Quadcopter seemed to be the same but ugliest one.  Flight after flight and crash after crash I began to drive it quite better. It was so e...
