This is part 3 of the Zeta FX61 Phantom build. I haven't bored you with all the wiring and hours of configuring things. The maiden flight will be in the Spring or Summer. I have a "10-10" rule before flying....... Above 10 degrees celsius and below 10mph winds.
Please please please don't discuss go fund me. I really appreciate the sentiment but this goes far deeper than just raising funds for my leg treatment. I will have the money for treatment but I won't have any 'buffer' funding if I need it, that is what I'm trying to raise. I will make another, more personal, video shortly which will hopefully explain why I'm doing this.
Due to my declining mental health and my right leg being in constant agony, I'm raising funds to hopefully get private treatment. The 2 flights of stairs I have to climb when I get home are becoming more and more painful and hard to climb. I honestly can't afford to buy another property on a ground floor so I'm stuck. This may be the most stupid thing I've ever done and I don't know if it'll give me enough money to do it but I've got to try, I'm desperate!
This is a collection only sale. You can arrange for someone else to collect, I don't mind. I'm in the Cannock area (WS6). Email me at vortecks2000@gmail.com
I'm going nowhere and I will start making good content again soon, this is just the journey of my life. Pretty shit ain't it?

This is my 3rd build which is now an e-motorbike and no longer a normal e-bike.
It's going to have number plates because I'm putting it through the MSVA.

You get to see my (sometimes) daily progress and some very 'juicy' and uncut bits that I daren't show here. Also, you'll get my support if you support me!
There's a reason why I'm building it with a removable batter - WEIGHT! Carrying a pushbike up 2 flights of stairs is bad enough but when it weighs in excess of 40kg and you're in your 50's, it really does take its toll.
I won't be listing prices as they change dramatically with China.

You get to see everything a week early and some very 'juicy' bits that I daren't show here. Also, you'll get my support if you support me ?
As per very popular demand, I'm doing an eBike build series.
*** Pease don't tell me to use the Enduro frame or buy the Stealth bike because I'm not doing it. I'm doing this on the limit of my budget and also considering the weight because I have to carry it up 2 flights of stairs ***
Parts list:
Voodoo Canzo - from Halfords
MXUS 3K Turbo V3 3Tx21 laced into a 26" wheel - from fasterbikes.eu
Sabvoton SVMC072150 - from cnqsmotor.com (I know there's a newer version but I prefer this one for ease of servicing)
Cycle analyst (Direct plugin) - from dillengerelectricbikes.co.uk
125a circuit breaker https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06X9QLLNF
Link to the 150a circuit breaker I'll share when it arrives and I've tested it.
The voltage/current & shunt is here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0155WPN3G
The batteries came from a UK seller - they were second hand but hardly used...... For the price I was offered, I couldn't resist!
The material I'm using for 3d printing is 'Real filament PETG'
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Real-Filament-8719128328881-Spool-Opaque/dp/B01MG5QXLW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506159021&sr=8-1&keywords=real+filament+petg

Link to microphone: https://goo.gl/JXFUbS
After the total mess of the Runcam Split 2 install (see my previous video) I decided the only camera for VLOG use is the Firefly Q6. I bought another one and I've also ordered a spare! These things have a much better audio input and they don't suffer with audio distortion.
Hopefully, this will help at least one person!

This is the Thrunite TN12 Pro, it's a good EDC torch/flashlight and it does have an excellent beam on it. All the specs are in this non affiliate link: ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Y1Q91GH
Yes, I'm still alive. I've just been busy resting and learning new stuff so I know a bit about what I'm doing and talking about. I'm working on something rather special (well, it is to me).

Link to suspension https://www.banggood.com/custlink/D3DGsG12AW
I've got no idea if it's any good yet (no doubt someone will tell me) - it does feel stable and it's the same thickness and strength as the original fork things. When I get chance, I'll go and test it ?
I'm slowly getting back to normal and I do have a special series coming up soon so please stick with it ?

I found a bigger field to play in and decided to try the speed.... it's not as fast as I'd hoped. I'm thinking of Cobra or Tiger motors and 4s now. I WANT MORE POWER..... and bigger crashes :-)
