The SOURCE PODRACER is a ultralight racing frame, made for speed addicts and grassroots fpv racers. It is designed to maximize speed and minimize drag. It fits and protects all the current toothpick-style FPV components and is optimized for light weight. The SOURCE PODRACER is your perfect race winner, and is recommended for pro racing pilots only.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The SOURCE PODRACER project is a collaborative FPV frame project initiated by Team BlackSheep. The frame is donated to the community to empower creators and makers, and integrate best practices and current trends faster into a continuously manufactured product. In return, it allows the local distribution network to have cheap and direct access to a good frame in order to allow them compete in an increasingly predatory marketplace.

The hope is for this frame to enable broad access to FPV thanks to a low price point, great documentation and wide availability of compatible parts and accessories, without violating other people’s intellectual property.

Reviews

"Love this frame. Fast nimble & precise but broke an arm recently so I only swapped out front arms and am back in the blue. Fast delivery liked most!"

— Douglas (5/5)

I have to say The

"I have to say The frame is great.. but the printed pod.. was squished and distorted, and frankly, an very poor materiel.."

— Karl D. (3/5)

Want to love it

"The FC mount is the weakest link. I have at least five sets of spare arms that are of no use because the FC mount breaks on the first crash and ordering a whole Frame seems to be the only way to get a new one. If there’s a way to get that one part without buying a new frame, and thicker, I’d changed my review entirely. pretty useless otherwise."

— Jacob H. (1/5)

Great little toothpick style frame for 5"

"I love the symmetrical look of this frame, the quality of the carbon fiber is excellent and the price is amazing!"

— Skyler T. (5/5)

"Easy to build and feels durable."

— Seneca (5/5)

Nylon or TPU???

"Hello!, the frame is super light. Meets all expectations. I bought some spare arms, and I like that there is variety. I have to admit that I bought it a bit because of the POD/Canopy. But I found that it was made of TPU!!!, and not of Nylon as in the description of the product that I bought. A shame. I want the Nylon pod!!!"

— Pablo S. (4/5)

It's really well made, but the pod is poorly designed

"Unless you're running a stack with the same mounting pattern as the pod, you are going to have to melt or cut the plastic. There are no practical cutouts for motor wires, and the only way I could see someone using the ones for airflow is if they are using pnp motors, and realistically you shouldn't be putting more than 10 amps through a 1.5mm plug like the one that comes with my fc (the board is rated for 35 amps, but the connectors are rated for <20). Also I wouldn't suggest the suggested antenna if you are using a stackable vtx, it fits in the mount amazing, but the cable is way too long and stiff that if you try to put the pod on it will take the connector off and if you don't notice it you will have a bbq'd vtx."

— Sean C. (3/5)
