SpicyMaggot Exclusive Tips
Here at SpicyMaggot, we spice things up with tips you won’t find elsewhere. First, for extended race range in racing drone setups, try an unconventional ELRS configuration: pair a high-gain antenna with low-power mode tweaks in Betaflight to push signals 20% farther without draining your battery—perfect for outdoor tracks. Second, nail clearer video in crowded events by dialing VTX settings to dynamic power adjustment, cycling channels automatically to dodge interference. Third, for smoother freestyle flips, apply Betaflight tweaks like custom PID tuning with a dash of gyro filtering—boost your roll rate by 10% for buttery maneuvers that feel like gliding on air!
