Talking head episode, check.

Racing episode, check.

In this video, part three of our HoverBot Nano review, we stress-test the Nano’s carbon-fiber frame in a full-throttle crash against a car door. After that very scientific test, we examine all the flight footage from race day (episode two) to evaluate this micro brushless quadcopter’s in-flight characteristics, racing dynamics, design, and T.U.M. (i.e., Time Until Maiden), to determine if the HoverBot Nano performs the way it should, considering brushless nanos cost $200+ more than a similar brushed-motor model. 

And with that, we conclude our first series comprising Micro Madnessour month-long dedication to micro drones. Stay tuned for upcoming reviews of the Moskito 70, the Piko Owl V2 and many more.

Are micro brushless drones worth the extra $200+? Do you think the HoverBot Nano is the best micro quad out there? Let us know in the comments below. 

The HoverBot Nano Kit is $249.00 and available at HoverBot.io
