Check out the Source V for a sweet racing frame!
Experience pure, unadulterated speed with the TBS Source PodRacer, an ultra-lightweight, open-source FPV racing frame designed for competitive pilots. Initiated by Team BlackSheep, the Source project aims to provide the community with a top-tier racing frame that maximizes velocity and minimizes air resistance, all at an accessible price point. This is the perfect chassis for your next high-performance FPV drone kit if your only goal is to be the fastest on the track.
Engineered for Maximum Speed
The PodRacer’s design is single-minded in its pursuit of speed. The minimalist layout and aerodynamic Nylon SLS 3D printed pod create an incredibly low-drag profile. At only 47 grams, the frame’s low weight provides explosive acceleration and nimble handling, while the robust 5mm carbon fiber arms offer the rigidity needed for sharp, responsive cornering at high speeds.
An Open-Source Community Project
The Source PodRacer is more than just a frame; it’s a collaborative FPV project donated to the community by TBS. The goal is to empower creators and makers by integrating best practices and current trends into a continuously manufactured product. This open-source philosophy allows pilots direct access to a great frame, fostering innovation and making competitive FPV racing more accessible to everyone.
Versatile Component Mounting
Despite its minimalist design, the Source PodRacer is incredibly versatile. It accommodates a wide range of “toothpick-style” and lightweight FPV drone components with mounting options for 20x20mm, 26x26mm (Whoop AIO), and 19x19mm electronics stacks. The motor mounts support both 9x9mm and 12x12mm patterns, making it compatible with many popular lightweight racing motors.
