ImpulseRC Alien 4.5"

As mentioned in the previous post, I built an Alien 4.5" (from ImpulseRC)

Basically the 4" body but with the 5" arms, meaning 5" props but a smaller frame and different camera mount to what you see in Mr Steele and others builds

Soft mounted T-motor F40-II of course :)

5V for ImpulseRC Alien 4.5" (Pololu)


I built an ImpulseRC 4.5" Alien (4" body with 5" arms), and the stock PDB doesn't have a regulated 5V nor 12V.

So I bought a few 5V 1A Pololu regulators (D24V10F5) - which is code MCU-60198 from RobotGear (link here




Put the pin headers in and place your wires:



You can see above, i've hot-glued the wires in which worked out great


It fits perfectly behind the camera mount (this is the 4" body camera mount for the ImpulseRC Alien, not the 5" camera mount)



BOOM :)



The other option is an after-market PDB, but I like this solution
