Today we have another great racing drone for you. The coveted quadrocopter model is called GEPRC GEP KHX5 and reaches quite high speeds due to its high-quality brushless motors.
Racing drones have become increasingly popular in Germany as well. There is a growing number of high-quality quadrocopter models on the market. So here you have already a large selection. In our opinion, the GEPRC GEP KHX5 Elegant Drone belongs to the best models in this price category.
The weight without batteries and without propeller parts is about 348 grams. Thus the drone belongs to the somewhat heavier models in the racing area in any case.
However, the drone makes up for this with its high-quality drives. These are very powerful, GR2306 2450KV brushless motors are used.
As far as batteries are concerned, the system supports a range between 2S and 5S battery systems.
Further technical details and features
The GEPRC Elegant has the KHX5 frame. If you buy it in the shop, it already has all the components you need to fly it immediately.
The camera is used in the form of the RunCam Swift 2 FPV, which provides a sufficiently good quality of photos and videos.
The R-XSR is used as receiver and the drone is compatible with the SPAN F4 Tower AIO remote control.
The combination of the highly efficient 2450 kV motors (GR2306) with the GEP5040 propellers also ensures increased performance with minimum energy consumption.

The Design
As far as the design is concerned, this quadrocopter is quite big with a diagonal of 230mm. For a racing drone this is remarkable!
We also mentioned at the beginning that the drone has an empty weight of 348 g, i.e. without battery and without propeller. With a battery you can reach about 500 g depending on the size!
Therefore you need a sticker with your name and address in Germany to be able to claim liability in case of a collision. This is regulated by the drone law from a weight of 250 g.
Although there is a great FPV camera, you also have enough space to install an action camera. Here, for example, the GoPro Hero 5 would be useful.
As material for the frame carbon is used. The thickness of the base plate is about 2 mm, the side plate 1.5 mm and the arm plate is 4 mm thick.
Camera
Often the FPV cameras of the racing drones are not very high quality. But here the RunCam Swift 2 is used, which in our opinion delivers a very high recording quality.
In our opinion the video quality is very good and more than sufficient to make exciting FPV racing flights.
The drone not only records the image material but also the sounds from the environment, the RunCam Swift 2 FPV camera has a built-in microphone. But you can expect that the quality of the recordings is not that good. Often there is a lot of booming and noise. But the audio recording plays a minor role in FPV Racing.
Control and flight characteristics of the drone
Once you have flown the GEPRC GEP KHX5 Elegant Drone, you will not want to give it up. It flies really well and the control is just great. The quadrocopter reacts directly and without much delay. The engines do a great job.
How strong the drone really is in the end also depends on the battery you use. According to the manufacturer you can even use 5S batteries, but we recommend 4S because they are more compatible with the electronic system.
If you use a 4S battery with 1800 mAh, you will reach really high speeds. We recommend that you choose the highest possible charge capacity to be able to fly as long as possible. However, a larger battery has the disadvantage that it has more weight, even though the GEPRC GEP KHX5 Elegant drone has a high gross weight.
