STL file to print your own here
We've come a pretty long way with duct designs. Each iteration is incremental but definitely an improvement over the previous version. This latest version is a design that comes from a member of the community. After much discussion and testing, this latest duct provides more thrust, lower noise levels and better durability than any previous design. You can mix and match this duct with any of the previous designs on the same craft and it will fly well.
The member of the community which primarily worked on this design has chosen not to make themselves known but the print file is available for anyone to print. We just offer the ducts to make it easier for those without printers. These prints are also from a PTEG material that is fully heat stable and a bit more durable than other options for such a design. The prints are imperfect at the outlet of the duct because it is not as easy to print this design.
Note: The ducts do NOT fit the frame perfectly on purpose. When screwed into place the ducts are held under tension and are somewhat oval. When fresh props are inserted, they will rub against that walls of that duct. Arm the quad and get the props spinning, then hover for a few seconds to allow them to grind into place. It will be loud during this process and then it will quiet down considerably. This sort of fit actually improves efficiency a but but more importantly, reduces overall vibrations in the system because it's all held under tension. Again, this imperfection is a biproduct of printing but also helpful. There is no issue if the ducts do not fit 100% perfectly.
Specifications:
- Improved ‘duct-foil’ for more thrust, better efficiency and no loss of control
- Printed from PTEG which is fully heat stable
- Durability is much better than PLA
- Brass inserts not required and no longer included
- ~13g per duct without brass inserts
STRONGLY Recommend:
- FPVCycle 23mm 3450kv motors
- 4S 1100-1300mah
- Gemfan 75mm triblade cinewhoop prop
Customer Reviews
Aesthetically pleasing, great fit for 2203/04 motors. Sound quality from the propellers has improved. A little more durable than V2. Took a bunch of tree bonks no problem, concrete column chipped it up.
Held up really well during a punishing shoot chasing skaters around. And flight characteristics (using frame, motors and ducts bob recommended) is just pure joy.
Hoping more of these are in stock soon!
Good quality print work on the ducts. Definitely feeling more responsiveness on cinematic flight turns. Good upgrade from previous ducts!
The ducts feels pretty good, but I have yet flown my quad as I am still waiting for my props from China.
Those are awesome really more durable and flight is smooth
Using these on my CineSplore and my Cloud149 and the difference from stock plastic ducts to these are a major improvement to sound and performance.
Hint: before placing brass inserts in ducts, line them up on arms so pre-holes match. I pre-drilled one duct because the holes didn’t line up. If not they will oval on arms.
The V3's out perform the V2's. More predictable, smoother flight characteristics.
I asked a 'printing nerd' friend to look at these, and he said they looked really good. Maybe printed a little fast and the layers weren't sticking together as well as he would have liked but that's just cosmetic. For what we used them for they work great.
The prop line is wayyyyy off if u use anything but the 2203... I wonder if it’s like that with the v2s as well
These are the first printed duct to really impress be in overall design everything makes sense and has several improvements that I never considered. Important definitely grind so that you props don't stick or you'll fry and esc/motor, I used a dremel with the carbide infused buffing wheel it looks like a sponge tire about an inch in diameter you can do a duct in about a minute just check your prop spins freely and profit. Also I'm running now inserts and it seems like it'll be durable time will tell. Thanks Kabab!!!
Let customers speak for us
They are actually smoother, quieter and all the power of a 25mm beast for 5” freestyle. Chef kiss*
Ive never bent a motor shaft on these, amazing motors. Maybe a tad heavier but i rock fpvcycle motors on almost all of my quads!
I had the older 2 generations of these motors and they keep getting better. Thicker stator, thicker stator base and they look amazing!
Pared this frame with a o4 lite and a Matrix 1s fc. I will always have a Babytooth in the fleet. Pic is weight with o4 lite.
these motors are nice and smooth on a 1s build!
Now even better with o4 lite!
Truly a fantastic frame!!! The only shame is that I have to pay duty to get your wonderful frames. A sacrifice I'm happy to make!!!

Great frame, durable and cheap
Gemfan Hurricane Durable Tri Blade SL 5125 Propellers (2CW + 2CCW)
Great frame. Great flyer.
Worked very well easy to solder flies great very fast and responsive
The best motor I’ve ever tested
This is the best motor I’ve ever tested
These motors are so smooth and have so much power. I have them on a light weight 5” and it has to much power I had to limit the power on them. Great durability as well. Taken some hits and still running smooth.
