This racer quadcopter is perfect for those who don’t see the need to become a programmer just to fly a quadcopter. No need for tuning/updating in Cleanflight/Betaflight, as it’s ready to fly out of the box with no modifications or tuning needed. Find it here http://www.redcatracing.com/CARBON-210-RACE-DRONE
Pros
– A fantastic flier out of the box. No tuning needed. However you can do such if you wish with Cleanflight (v1.2.3). You can also do such in the field or at home with its on screen display menus. To access the menus, with the quadcopter disarmed on the ground, move the throttle midway up and full right, and simultaneously move the pitch stick full up.
– All modes of flight (angle, horizon, and acro) nicely tuned by the factory.
– Tons of punch (acceleration). Also very maneuverable and fast.
– 2204 KV2500 motors
– 30A ESC’s protected with covers (protects from shorting in wet grass).
– 600 TVL camera with 25/200mW FPV transmitter
– SPR F3 flight control board preloaded with proprietary version of Cleanflight.
– Simplified controller with only buttons and switches needed to fly.
– Includes a nice custom carrying case with keyed locks.
– Also includes lots of decals for customizing its looks.
Cons
– Upgrading to newer versions of Cleanflight or Betaflight can be problematic for some. There is a possibility of bricking if done inproperly. As such, it’s recommended by the manufacturer not to do such.
– The provided stock 2S 1500mah battery is only 25C. Saw some significant voltage sag when flying fast or giving it a punch. This can be easily corrected with a better battery with higher C rating (they’re cheap). Maybe Redcat will include one with future versions to make this a near perfect racer (hint, hint).

Looks cool ?❗
This thing suxs don’t buy it
Got me sold on this quad ?
Hello, there! Nice review! Would you tell me which one of these goggles would be a fit for this drone?
EACHINE EV800D FPV Goggles with DVR 5.8G 40CH 5 Inch 800×480 Diversity Video Headset Build in Battery or the EACHINE VR-007 Pro 5.8G 40CH FPV Goggles 4.3 Inch Video Headset Glasses with 3.7V 1600mAh Battery? Thank you in advance!
I got one of this off a guy,I’m not sure but when I arm the quad and pick it up by hand and rotate roll or pitch it disarm ? I don’t think this is normal,what would happen when it get blown by heavy winds will it disarm ?
Could you recommend a good pair of fpv goggles for around $200-$250 and should I upgrade the antenna and if so which antenna do you recommend. Someone in a different video recommend a cloverleaf antenna
Silly question,no trim features on transmitter?
Where do u find spare parts for this drone. Searched everywhere and cant find anything.
Might end up buying of these later on. Then after I get skilled, go grab the much more advance racing drones and go from there. Nice video. Wish they had a much better camera on this model though.
Can u recommend a good battery mine go in no time
The sound reminds me of the bug2
I like that one too , great review??
I am a newby and I absolutely love my Redcat carbon 210. I have nothing to compare to but my own enjoyment and happiness with this drone. Great review.
Hey great channel ☺ Keep it up!
Also, can you tell me what the buttons on the back of the remote are for? The manual doesn’t even mention they are there.
Just got the Redcat Carbon 210. I’ve heard from some that you can use a 4s battery on this model. Is that true? I couldn’t find that information in the manual.
but the other one i got was amazing
so i got a 210 and it wouldnt bind it would just keep beeping so i had to get another one do you Know WHAT HAPPENED
In your experienced opinion, this or a Wizard X220s? Just as a better drone? I have previous fpv experience. Thanks!
The red cat drone is one of the best drones to learn how to fly FPV I would recommend it to anyone for beginners i've been using mine for about one year had many many crashes and it still goes never let you down
is there any way of putting a go pro on it?
What would be a good fpv racing drone for beginners?
Nice fast drone, I'm looking to get a racing drone that punchs like that, what other would you recommend that is cheaper. Thanks
I see Redcat Racing, are moving up from RC cars to Drones.
