Greetings and Salutations

[JoeTryhard]

Hi friends!! I just got a couple of 3DRs! One needs some love. I’ve got some drone experience, some electronics experience, and some coding experience. Looking forward to getting more into all the things!!

I want to turn one of the solos into a LIDAR machine, but I need to increase the payload. Can you swap out motors for more powerful motors? I also have two new controller modules for each drone that I need to get installed.

Can’t wait to get to know everyone!

If you have Facebook there is a ton of information and resources consolidated in this group. JB's 3DR Solo Owners Group | Facebook

You will need to read about the battery situation and the solutions. We made this detailed tutorial for replacing the cells with new cells. Solo Battery Mod for Dummies (Rev).pdf

You may also want to upgrade the GPS if it has a stock GPS. (especially the green board)

There are also lots of upgrade and mod parts on JB Mod Parts | Home including a Here Plug and Play GPS w/mast, and also battery mods for purchase.
