Lighting-fast loop times provide a quick, responsive and locked-in feel in the air. Connections for RGB serial LED’s give pilots the ability to brighten their Theory XL.

Clean and Simple Power Distribution

The newly designed power distribution board makes wiring and repairs a breeze. Simple connect (solder) both ESC power and signal wires directly to the power distribution board, and a single wire harness connects and to the flight controller. Remove one cable and the flight controller is disconnected.

30A BLHeli ESCs

New Blade 30A ESCs provide smooth and reliable power to the motors and are rated for 40A bursts. BLHeli pass-through in the flight controller makes programming and tuning these ESCs easy with a USB cable and computer.

Carbon Fiber Frame

Designed for durability, the camera is slightly recessed and flanked by 2mm carbon fiber, while the motors are protected with additional carbon fiber.

Video Transmitter

When you plug in your Theory XL, the video transmitter will not power on until you press and hold the power button. This is perfect for flying with other people so you do not accidentally interfere with someone else’s video while they are in the air.

NOTE: A HAM license is required to operate the Video Transmitter in the U.S.
