Currently, there are two major design approaches regarding small FPV racing drones, the Happymodel Larva X HD seems to fit for both of them. It can be conveniently converted from a Toothpick into a TinyWhoop.

Each arm of the 125mm size carbon fiber frame is equipped with an EX1203 motor. The Larva X HD is compatible with 2.5 and 3″ propellers.

The on-board Caddx Baby Turtle FPV camera features integrated DVR (1080@60fps recording) and angle adjustment. The real-time image transmission is achieved using a 5.8G VTX with 40 channels and adjustable broadcast power. According to your needs, you can toggle between 25 and 200mW even remotely, thanks to the SmartAudio feature.
