Introducing our new frame, the Slatra. This frame is a non warrantied frame that was first introduced on SabotageRC.com and it is now also available on the Armattan website. As with all our non warrantied frames, this frame is affordable compared with our lifetime warrantied models.
The Slatra fits up to 5.5 inch props. It weighs a very acceptable 116 grams. The rear end uses custom made CNC posts that protect the CF. The front end uses custom made CNC cam mounts fitted for a micro camera.
A rugged 4mm "bumper" designed at the front end makes this model a good contender for a basher frame that can take a real beating.
Modular arms using only 2 bolts make for speedy field repairs.
This frame is quite roomy so it's a good frame for a first build, though many frames of this format are used today by experienced pilots.
This frame is more or less an Armattan Badger with a different solution at the front end to make use of micro cams. We also think it is a good option for pilots on a budget, or pilots who care not about the Armattan warranty. This model uses a total of 4 custom made CNC parts and rubber moulded parts. The geometry is exactly the same as the Armattan Badger but it is lighter and simpler by design.
All in all, the Slatra is a fantastic alternative to our more costly lifetime warrantied offerings. But make no mistake, the attention to details and quality of the components spare no expenses much like all our frames. Perfect for beginners but also a very good option for seasoned pilots who need a frame that can take a beating and live to tell the tale.
Right away, this is the best 65mm Whoop I know. Not even close.
I ordered two, one is more or less stock, just the PEEK motor screws and V3 cockroach. The second is upgraded to 0702 27000kV but will go back because I like the 25000kV more because of smoother throttle response and perfect betaflight tune.
Now the but:
1. On both quads I had to replace the BeeEye for a spare one because both are out of focus.
2. the yellow props were way too loose and very brittle. I lost two on my maiden. Black, blue and red are very tight (too tight for such a fragile prop) but if you get them on without bending them, they will last.
3. why does the quad not come with the lighter frame right away?
4. PH2.0…. You know the drill.
On that price point, even after the frame and PEEK upgrade I can forgive these quality issues. Especially considering the great tune and quality FC and motors. But be sure to order a replacement cam and props right away.
This was kind of a late night lark. I'd seen this upgrade for the Mk3 for a while and pondered whether it was a gimmick or not, and I'm pleased to say it's a genuinely good upgrade. It has reduced the noise of my Mk3 considerably. I haven't noted any significant increase in print quality, but the old drone of the bed is gone and that's completely worth it.
