T60X vs T50 Hardware Comparison

Summary

In this video, Mike from New Way, Egg compares the hardware differences between the T50 and T60X drones. Key highlights include the T60X's four larger motors versus the T50's eight smaller ones, as well as the T60X's more robust design with a bigger battery, larger propellers, and improved FPV camera for low-light conditions. The video also explores differences in vision sensors, radar, tank capacity, and battery design. Mike discusses the advantages of the T60X, such as fewer parts and a more stable platform, while also noting that the T50 remains a solid, reliable choice. A hands-on comparison will follow in future videos.

Takeaways

• 😀 The T50 has 8 motors in a co-axial design, whereas the T60X has 4 larger motors with bigger propellers.
• 😀 The T60X features a larger 56 1/2-inch propeller, while the T50 has a 54-inch propeller, providing better lift and stability for the T60X.
• 😀 The T50’s motors are smaller, while the T60X uses more powerful motors to handle its larger payload.
• 😀 The T60X's battery is a 40,000 mAh, 35 lb powerhouse, compared to the T50's 30,000 mAh battery, which weighs 26-12 lbs.
• 😀 The T60X uses a digital gimbal-like fixed FPV camera, offering instant movement and better low-light performance, while the T50 has a motorized FPV camera.
• 😀 The T60X has two vision sensors compared to the T50's four, but the T60X offers a better FPV experience.
• 😀 T50 features smaller legs (18 1/2 inches wide) compared to the T60X's wider legs (22 inches), providing improved stability for the T60X.
• 😀 The T60X has a 50L tank with an option for a 60L upgrade, while the T50 only has a 40L tank, making the T60X more suited for larger operations.
• 😀 The T50’s pumps are positioned behind the tank, while the T60X moves them in front for better airflow and efficiency.
• 😀 The T60X offers better radar recognition distance, picking up objects up to 98 ft compared to the T50’s 50 ft, offering a technological edge for terrain-following capabilities.

Q & A

What is the main difference between the T50 and T60X drones in terms of motor design?

The T50 has eight motors arranged in a coaxial design, meaning each motor spins in opposite directions, while the T60X has only four larger motors, resulting in fewer parts and potentially more efficient performance.

How do the propellers of the T50 and T60X differ?

The T50 has 54-inch propellers, which are lighter and smaller compared to the T60X's 56.5-inch propellers. The T60X's propellers are thicker and heavier, as they need to carry more weight with fewer motors.

What are the key differences in the arm design between the T50 and T60X?

Both the T50 and T60X have arms with the same thickness. However, the T60X uses a single large ESC per arm, while the T50 uses two smaller ESCs per arm due to its coaxial motor design.

What changes were made in the placement of the battery on the T60X compared to the T50?

On the T50, the battery is located at the back of the drone, while on the T60X, the battery is moved to the front. This change improves airflow over the battery during flight.

How do the vision sensors differ between the T50 and T60X?

The T50 has four vision sensors and a gimbaled FPV camera, while the T60X has only two vision sensors and a fixed FPV camera. The T60X camera has digital stabilization for better performance, especially in low-light conditions.

What is the difference in the light system between the T50 and T60X?

The T60X features larger and brighter lights than the T50, improving nighttime visibility and clarity on the FPV camera.

How do the tank sizes differ between the T50 and T60X?

The T50 has a 40L tank (about 10.2 gallons), while the T60X comes with a 50L tank but can be upgraded to a 60L tank (about 15.9 gallons) for increased capacity.

What is the key difference in the placement of the pumps on the T50 and T60X?

On the T50, the pumps are located behind the tank, while on the T60X, the pumps are placed in front of the tank. This placement change impacts how wind flows over the pumps during flight.

How do the battery systems differ between the T50 and T60X?

The T60X uses a larger 40,000mAh battery weighing 35 lbs, compared to the T50's 30,000mAh battery weighing 26.12 lbs. The T60X battery terminals have sturdier connections, making it easier and safer to attach the battery.

What changes have been made to the controller between the T50 and T60X?

The controller for the T60X is similar to the T50 but has fewer ports on the top. The T60X controller now features HDMI and USB-A ports on top, with microSD and USB-C ports relocated to the bottom.
