DRL Racer4s - HDZero + ELRS Edition

COMING SOON!

An original DRL Racer4s, upgraded with an HDZero digital video system, an ExpressLRS receiver, and updated Betaflight firmware. This configuration pairs the Racer4s platform with equipment you can use with your own compatible radio and goggles.

Installed Hardware & Firmware

The original proprietary DRL receiver and video transmitter have been removed and replaced with:

• RadioMaster XR1 ELRS receiver, updated to ExpressLRS 4.x.
• HDZero Race V2 video transmitter.
• HDZero Nano 90 V2 camera.

The flight controller has been flashed with Betaflight 26.1 using our custom HOAR4s target. The HDZero/Betaflight on-screen display is fully functional. Smartaudio style commands are not currently working but stick commands and OSD for channel changes works fine.

Important: Updated Flight Configuration

This firmware upgrade replaces the original DRL flight-controller configuration. The original tune, rate profiles, and settings are no longer installed. Expect the drone’s flight characteristics and control feel to differ from its original DRL configuration.

The original DRL Betaflight 3.6 configuration dump will be available in our technical documentation for reference or for owners interested in returning to the original firmware and configuration. Restoring it requires the corresponding compatible firmware; the original dump should not be applied directly to Betaflight 26.1.

What’s Included

• DRL Racer4s with the installed HDZero video system and ELRS receiver.
• Updated firmware and configuration as described above.
• One set of 7-inch race propellers.
• Instructions for cycling through the available LED colors.

A battery is not included. You will also need a compatible ExpressLRS transmitter or transmitter module and an HDZero-compatible viewing setup.

LED Colors & Optional Button

The drone’s LED colors can be changed without adding an external button, but doing so requires access to the internal controls. Instructions are included.

For easier access, add the optional LED color-change button to your cart separately if you would like one installed.

Condition & Pre-Shipment Testing

This is a converted, previously used DRL drone. Cosmetic wear may be present.

Before shipment, each drone is:

• Powered on to confirm LED operation.
• Checked to confirm the receiver is configured.
• Test-hovered to verify basic flight operation.

The test hover is a basic operational check. You may still want to adjust rates and other flight settings to suit your preferences before race use.

Expected to ship: October 1st
