Riptide FDM 3in

Origin

One of the biggest problems with lithium ion quads is durability. The heavier batteries carry a lot more inertia into a crash, so even a moderate hit can destroy a lightweight frame. That’s exactly why we built the Riptide: a tougher brother to the Swift that can take a ridiculous amount of abuse without becoming a heavy brick.
