If you’re watching this, you’re probably wondering what I would actually put on a larger FPV drone in 2026—because a lot has changed in the hobby with the ongoing wars and the general climate around drones. In this video I break down my X-Class 15-inch setup and what stack I’d run right now for a big cruiser build. I’m flying the HGLRC My15 frame with 4000-series motors, 15-inch Gemfan glass fiber props in a right-turn rear configuration, and an XT90 out back so I can run a huge 10,000–12,000mAh pack. It’s a totally different feeling than a 7-inch—this thing takes off like a giant aircraft carrier and the sound is unreal. For my next X-Class build, I’m going with the T-Hobby Velox series stack: a 70A AM32 4-in-1 ESC rated up to 8S paired with an F7SE flight controller. The ESC has conformal coating for moisture protection and enough spacing on the motor tabs for those big motor wires, which matters on X-Class. And yeah—this same stack could also be killer for a 5-inch 8S rig if you want to go extra, extra balls-out fast. I also hit the safety side hard: FAA registration, Remote ID, stay away from federal sites, and bring a fire extinguisher (and even sand) because big builds can turn into big fires when something fails.
