A new class of  micro quads<\/a> has been gaining popularity lately, TOOTHPICK CLASS QUADS. Toothpick class quads are ultra-light weights that have an AUW of under 100g. Unlike the larger 5\u201d quads, the 3\u201d and under, best toothpick drone can fit in tight spaces and don\u2019t cost a fortune to build. The toothpick quad rage began when motor manufacturers started introducing smaller and smaller brushless motors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lightest of the toothpicks use a 07xx, 08xx for a 2\u201d and 11xx sizes for 2.5\u201d and 3\u201d. These tiny motors produce insane amounts of thrust in a tiny package all the while weighing less than 8g or less for the heaviest 11xx sized motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the motors are small, power management becomes easier. The current draw is small and the batteries do not sag as much as the 5\u201d quad batteries. A good toothpick can be built for as little as $80 and the replacement parts are cheaper with the only expendable parts being the flight controllers<\/a> and maybe motors. The frames are rigid enough that they are virtually indestructible at these sizes and the propellers<\/a> are hard enough to withstand a few crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
