r/NerfedFPV

Hey, I'm wanting to get into airsoft, and really wanna get a AAP-01. I've checked Action Army's official site, along with Amazon, and can't seem to find a place that will either ship to my location, or I just can't figure out how to purchase the blaster (or gun, idk how strict mods are in here, I've been put on a 1 week ban in r/nerf due to saying gun instead of blaster).

On Amazon it doesn't let me ship to my location, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to order from Action Army.

When I get it, I have 2 3d printers and am also looking to get into printing out some mods for it, as the main reason why I want one is that the performance seems to be the best, other than slide jams and full auto issues. If anybody else has primed out mods for theirs, were there any top mods that you liked best/would recommend (like a slide upgrade, barrel shrouds, full auto switch).

Also for future upgrades, what would be some actually super good upgrades for it? (Like actual CNCd parts or machined parts in general)

EDIT: I'm from the U.S., specifically Washington State.

I got the remnants of a failed whoop build from a friend due to them purchasing a frame meant for larger motors on 2s, while running 1s motors on 5A. The key parts that I'm stealing are the motors, which are BetaFPV's 1102-22,000kv motors.

After doing a bit of research, I found the motors were meant for the Meteor series, specifically the Meteor 75 Pro with either the 04 or P1 units. Because I think it was safe to assume that even with the added weight of a digital VTX they had plenty of power, I was thinking it would be safe to assume that they could handle a slightly larger prop (from 45mm to 50.8, or 2").

2" props are what are currently on them in the first image with the frame, although they typically aren't great with quadblades, and the added weight of the stronger whoop frame (I think it was a Mobula 8) on 1s/5A (og Air series AIO) wasn't enough to get them in the air.

What I am planning on, is running the Twiglet 2 frame (less than half the weight of current frame, 1g-2g less than the Meteor 75 Pro frame), using the Matrix V2 AIO, pushing up to 18A bursts, 12A continuous (more than double the og attempt, same as Meteor builds), paired with a leftover C03 camera and a Air series canopy to minimize weight.

As for props, with my Air65, throughout my not perfect testing, I find biblades to be the best overall. Now hear me out; with larger quads (like 5") that have more torque, having more blades=better acceleration at lower speeds and more grippy flight. However, when you have micro drones that have little to no torque, running biblades seem to be best because that allows the motors to ramp up to max RPM faster than if it were to have more blades that would not allow the motors to spin up as fast. Because of this, I'm running biblades on my Air65, and will be doing the same on this drone.

If anybody has other recommendations/comments for future upgrades, lmk. I was simply trying to get a build that works with what I have, so it may not be the best, but will be open to upgrading in the future.

(Edit: idk if this drone will be 100% welcome here cause I guess technically it's not a whoop anymore, will be a micro drone 😅)

HELP! (where to buy+mods)

New build! (parts ordered)
