The SOURCE PODRACER is a ultralight racing frame, made for speed addicts and grassroots fpv racers. It is designed to maximize speed and minimize drag. It fits and protects all the current toothpick-style FPV components and is optimized for light weight. The SOURCE PODRACER is your perfect race winner, and is recommended for pro racing pilots only.

About the project

The SOURCE PODRACER project is a collaborative FPV frame project initiated by Team BlackSheep. The frame is donated to the community to empower creators and makers, and integrate best practices and current trends faster into a continuously manufactured product. In return, it allows the local distribution network to have cheap and direct access to a good frame in order to allow them compete in an increasingly predatory marketplace.

The hope is for this frame to enable broad access to FPV thanks to a low price point, great documentation and wide availability of compatible parts and accessories, without violating other people’s intellectual property.

"The GPR"

It is no secret that the Podracer is Wayne and Trappy's all time favorite frame. At TBS the stresses of daily operations often supersede our desire to go out and fly. Still, the itch of taking a stroll around the block and showing off cool FPV exploits to friends and family remains. Enter the GPR. A no-frills, ultra lightweight DJI O3 ready mod to the Podracer, with GPS to keep the blood pressure low and return to home at your fingertips. Paired with a 4S 18650, you can expect up to 20km of total flight distance. And if you're on vacation and want to rip down a mountain, the GPR, goggles and a remote is all you'll need to pack!
