NewBeeDrone SavageBee V1.8 Frame 65mm/3inch

Lots of mounting hardware

This is an awesome replacement frame for a toothpick I build a couple years ago. More than enough spare screws to take care of the build. Very clean with a podracer aio.

Very tight squeeze for Happy Model X12 ELRS AIO FC

Nice durable looking frame, I've had several light crashes into rubble and it still looks new.

I've built mine with the Happy Model X12 ELRS AIO FC, 1202 NewBeeDrone Flow motors, and Goober canopy. The frame doesn't allow enough clearance for the motor connectors on the FC. I had to cut off all the plastic around motor connector pins and solder the motor wires to the pins. The Goober canopy fits the FC nicely but the ceramic SMT ELRS antenna just touches the canopy. I'm considering using a Dremel tool carefully cut out part of the canopy to leave more clearance for the antenna. This will prevent the canopy from damaging the antenna during a crash but will also leave the antenna a little bit more exposed.

But overall, very happy with the frame

Brilliant, quiet frame

You can get away with very little filtering using this frame in a 2S build. It's also quite versatile re. accommodating AIO boards of different kinds. And it looks nice, too!

I only wish there was a DXF or STEP file available for it to make designing TPU parts less of a hassle.
