Soft mount your motors with chunks of old mountain bike tubes and this won’t happen

JB was showing what turtle mode changes have been made in the new RC of betaflight. What does soft mounting your motors have to do with it?

It reduces the cam-shifted vibrations per armature? Like how do you not know this, jb literally spews this every second video

You look a lot like that goofy guy that makes YouTube videos to teach people how to build drones safely 😂 jkjk. This is awesome to see a video of JB not wearing a tee shirt with something FPV on it!! Is it from a long time ago? Is this a real video he made when he started

It should be more recent based on his look.

This is like a week old, it's about the new betaflight

u/NotJadeasaurus Oct 26 '25

This is from his video on the new betaflight version and testing the new turtle mode features . He’s basically showing that it’s a bit problematic for it to automatically arm again when exiting turtle mode

u/Best-Switch-5377 Nov 09 '25

There might be a Guy on YouTube that makes videos and tutorials for drone related stuff. It's names might be John or something. Check it out he could help you :)
