SCX-140 V1.1 3IN RACER KIT
$ 35.00SCX-140 V1.1 3" Racer Kit
This SCX-140 is a 3" racing frame which combines SCX design architecture with perfect X symmetric motor placement which measures 140mm MTM (Motor To Motor). Why 140mm instead of 130mm? Well I had two requirements for this quad, it had to be a perfect X and it had to still fit the HS1177 camera, hence 140mm. Packaging is a little tighter than the SCX-200 as the pod is smaller overall but it still retains the SCX signature vtx mounting design. Frame is designed specifically for 1306/1407 3000kv+ motor setups and 3" props to make this little micro quad a powerhouse which can hit above it's weight class.
V1.1 now includes improved top plate!
New top plate design provides same functionality as original but increases strength and durability. Top plate thickness increased from 1.5mm to 2mm and profile changed to reduce leverage forces during a crash for improved durability.
Kit also now includes 16 M2x5mm screws for mounting the motors!
Micro Size Quad, Full Size Speed!Build Inspiration!
Below are some examples of what can be done with this tiny little quad. Although the kit includes black hardware and steel screws, with a little splash of color you can easily make SCX-140 your own. In the examples shown I chose to color coordinate my standoffs and hardware with the motor colors. SCX-140 uses 30mm M3 standoffs which can be commonly sourced in different colors from various hobby vendors.
Specs:
Frame Size: 140mm motor to motor
Layout: Symmetrical X
Lower Plate: 3mm Carbon
Top Plate: V1.1 2mm Carbon (increased strength over original)
Max Prop size: 3"
Motor Mounting: M2, 12mm bolt circle (works with common 1306 to 1407 size motors)
Weight: ~45g (can be lighter with aluminum hardware) -
SCX-230 V2.1 Racer Kit - 6in Props
$ 53.88Looking for a 6" prop version of the SCX? Here it is!
The SCX-230 is based off the same familiar architecture used in the SCX-200 and shares all the same parts with the exception of lengthened arms to allow for 6" props. SCX-230 comes in two flavors, regular and beefy. This is the beefy version with wider width arms (17mm wide vs 14mm wide of the original SCX-200).
This version includes the standard width arms as found on the smaller SCX-200 and SCX-175SCX-230 V2.1 Frame Kit!
The next refinement of the SCX frame kit makes minor improvements upon the V2 architecture to improve durability and frame fit and finish. The following parts have been revised slightly to create the V2.1 configuration:
SCX V2.1 Base Plate: Now includes more material near camera bumper and cam slots to help distribute impact loads (fully backwards compatible with V2).
SCX V2.1 Top Plate: Revised "dog bone" slots for better positive engagement of vertical accesory plates (backwards compatible with slight mod to V2 VTX Mounting Plate).
SCX V2.1 Camera Plate: Revised tabbing to help improve positive engagement when combined with V2.1 Top Plate (fully backwards compatible with V2)
SCX V2.1 VTX Mounting Plate: Revised tabbing to help improve positive engagement when combined with V2.1 Top Plate (fully backwards compatible with V2)
SCX-230 V2.1 Arm: Revised arm no longer has material removed near motor nerf bumper for increased impact strength, lengthened for 6" props (fully backwards compatible with all SCX models).SCX-230 Key Features:
- 230mm motor to motor, symmetrical X frame
- 4mm thick replaceable arms
- 2mm thick bottom and mid plate
- 1.5mm thick upper plate
- Designed for 220x sized motors and 6" props
- Integrated HS1177 FPV camera mounting plates with 55+ degrees of allowable tilt
For this kit you will need to source your own vtx o-ring! Below are the o-rings which I have tested to work. You can also try your local hardware store, but in general you want an o-ring with a 6mm ID and a 1-1.5mm thickness.
1x..............Square Profile O-ring, 6mm ID, 1.5mm thick (McMaster Carr 1171N142 or equivalent)(optional vtx mounting assembly)
1x..............Square Profile O-ring, 6mm ID, 1mm thick (McMaster Carr 1171N119 or equivalent) (vtx mounting assembly)
Please note this kit includes steel hardware and black anodized aluminum standoffs from Armattan, not purple anodized aluminum as shown in pictures.
