In FPV drone design, motor KV rating directly impacts flight characteristics: higher KV motors (like 3800KV) produce more power and aggressive flight performance but sacrifice efficiency and flight time, while lower KV motors (like 2750KV) prioritize efficiency for longer flights. This trade-off means pilots must choose between maximum violence/power and maximum efficiency based on their flying style and mission requirements.

The Most Powerful Mario Mini 35 Ever Made? | 1507.5 Motors Changed Everything
Added:The previous episode of this series, I accidentally built a marathon runner. So, today I set out to fix that. I'm going to build the sprinter, the heavyweight boxer. The same frame, the same ESC, the same props. The only thing that changes is the motors. We've gone from 1606, 2,700 KV to 1507.5, 38,000 KV. What does that mean? It means that this is about [music] to slap. The only thing we're chasing today, not flight time, not efficiency, pure unadulterated FPV violence.
Okay, so after the first [music] video in this series, we create the most efficient Mario Mini35. And the goal now is to create the most violent Mario Mini 35. The question is, have we done it?
Well, we're about to find out. Now it's moving out of the way of that lady.
>> Yeah.
>> So far [music] it feels pretty violent.
>> And you can certainly get yourself Yeah.
>> Well, [music] that's almost scary.
>> You can certainly get yourself out of trouble a lot easier with these motors than the efficient motors, but we're not going to get anywhere near the flight time.
But that's not what this build's about.
We don't care about flight time for this one. We just care about >> fun.
>> Maximum violence. Fun. Yes. Maximum fun.
>> Yeah.
>> Totally not violence or anything.
Well, I have to admit the way this [music] just sort of sticks to the tree and just Yeah.
So far pretty amazing.
It's a bit of a fast power loop there.
What are we on? We're on 3.9 volts. To be fair, we've not been taking it easy.
So, we're not we're not I mean 2 minutes 15 seconds at 3.8 volts.
We are using the G&B 880 m 4SLHV though. But despite that being a really really strong battery, these are big motors to be practically beating around like this.
So, it's pretty impressive so far.
>> Yeah.
>> Now, I do know Boyers told me off camera yesterday when we built this that he's scared to fly it.
>> I still am.
>> And he still is.
>> And still is. And I think I think after watching me fly it, he's probably a little bit more scared as well. The question is, boy, wonder.
>> Will I fly it? No. No, I'm joking.
Obviously trying.
>> We know you're going to do it, [music] but are you going to let the nerves overcome you or are you going to tame the beast?
>> Taming the beast.
>> That was incredible. This is just Yeah, please don't destroy. Actually, I think this might be my favorite freestyle 4S.
Going to have to go some to beat the Seeker. The tune isn't perfect, so you're not going to get totally smooth footage from this flight just because I've stuck with the original Mario 35 tune. And it is a little bit I could probably do with a custom one on it to be fair.
>> Wind's crazy.
>> It is. But having to change the flight controller and stuff, I just decided I'd stick with what we had for the time being. The wind is crazy. And yet this little three and a half inch, >> all of his just picked up [music] randomly.
>> Yeah, it was crazy before as well, you know, just before we came out.
>> It was a But um yeah, I mean It just oozes and inspires confidence.
>> What?
>> 3.66 [music] volts after 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
So, after saying that it's not going to be an efficiency monster, actually, it's really quite good.
>> Are you having fun? I'm having a lot of fun, boy. Wonder. I have to keep reminding myself to speak.
>> Speak. Speak.
>> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So, drone sky tree crash.
>> Fail safe.
>> Fail [music] safe.
>> Which is what just happened, didn't it?
>> It did. It did. On our practice run, we did just fail safe. But we know why. And you eagle-eyed amongst you may see that there is a cable plugged into the Radio Master TX15. And that's why it fails safe. Okay. 3.45 volts. Little wonder.
Watch out the way. be 5 minutes flight time.
>> And once again, we hand over to our tame FPV flyer, Boy Wonder FPV. Now, he said after watching this fly and knowing the spec and the power of these motors that he was a little bit nervous, and I think that comes to pass at the very end of his flight. Enjoy.
That wasn't full throttle.
>> [snorts] >> I'm shaking.
What?
trees.
>> Okay.
I'm shaking. I already told the camera that I'm shaking.
>> Boy, welcome to the channel.
>> Hello. Welcome. You are Hi.
>> Yes, you are welcome.
>> You are high. Welcome.
>> Where's my phone?
>> Disappeared out of nowhere. It's probably important.
>> It isn't fun. Back inside.
>> Yeah.
Don't tell him that. I want to see [music] where this thing. I'm joking.
>> First, he cleared the tree. Yeah. He's under he's underneath it.
>> I don't think he's staying there, but we'll have to do some tricks around the one in the middle.
>> I'm orbiting it right now.
>> So, what do you think of maximum finance Mario 35?
>> Um, it's actually really good.
>> It's still quite smooth, I think.
>> Well, that wind is pushing me off. I'm trying to orbit it fast, but the wind >> is quite windy. [music] Yeah, it still feels quite smooth, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Oh, I nearly just hit it. I almost my confidence is definitely going up.
>> Good. I know you was nervous to fly.
That man does appear to be staying around the tree, which is a little bit frustrating for you. So, I do apologize.
We're going to have [music] to uh >> like do around his back trees as well.
>> Yes.
Now he seems to be walking back to his [music] car since I've left the dog. Why not the dog with him? You may be able to head back to the tree in a second. Okay.
Fact he's running over here now. Right.
If you go back to the tree now.
>> Controller vibrating. I don't know why.
>> Okay.
>> Battery's fine. They're just vibrating.
>> The timer.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. So, B S F S F S F S F S F S F S F S F S F S FPV. What do you think of maximum violence versus maximum efficiency so far? Well, Maximum Violence definitely feels better to rape as well.
>> It feels better cinematically almost as well, doesn't [music] it? Cuz you can just sort of It's got the best of both worlds really, hasn't it?
>> Yeah.
>> Now, is Maximum Violence going >> He's Hang on. That That guy's left a bag on the >> Yeah, he's going back. He's going back.
>> He's just taking his dog to the car [music] or something.
>> I'm so I'm going to go back to the mini tree.
>> No, you're okay at the minute. You okay at the minute cuz he's putting his he's getting something out of the boat.
>> Wonder quote of the day.
>> Oh, hang on. Hang on a second. We have little wonder quote of the day. Come here. Little wonder.
>> Wonder quote of the day. Come closer.
>> Always remember little wonder. It's better than being boy wonder.
>> No, that's not true.
>> Well, >> I bet you can't do a trippy thing.
>> Well, what we're going to what we're going to do next week is the start of the school summer holidays [music] in the UK.
>> Oh, no. And we're going to set some challenges where they're going to go against each other >> and whoever whoever gets more points will win.
>> Probably football challenge as well.
[music] >> Drone challenges.
>> This is not a football channel.
>> Nice power loop.
>> I'm a bit of a football channel.
>> Second power loop.
>> Gentleman's going back. So go back to the middle.
>> Yep.
>> Okay. So is maximum violence boy wonder FPV approved? [music] >> Yes.
>> If you had to pick one maximum violence or maximum efficiency, which one are you picking?
>> Violence. Oh, there's a post. Got a ming tree as well with a dog. I need a come back battery. Oh, I just disarmed it.
>> My >> So, now we've built two completely different Mario Mini [music] 35s. One that wants to fly forever and just chill, and the other that wants to rip your arms off and smash you in the face.
But which one is actually better?
There's only one way to find out. I'll see you in the next episode.
YouTube and I have had a chat and we believe that this is the video that you'll like the most.
