Going stupid with brushless motors and 11.1v 3 cell lipo batteries with the suited speed controllers does terrible things to rc cars. Yeah stupid fast until they break. But, not to digress. My main question remains as will a proper drone be fool prood to fly?

No.. A proper drone will not be fool proof to fly. There are 3 types of quads/drones.

Toys - what you find in shops, usually brushed motors that will wear out but can be fun if you dont expect to much from them
Drones - DJI etc self explanatory tbh
Quads - home built and can be serious machines and require alot of building and programming and generally dont use any crutches such as gps etc. This is where the real fun is had but can also be costly and frustrating

Ranging from micros ( tiny whoops etc ) mini ( 2.5 - 3 inch size) a 'normal sized' 4 or 5 inch and the new category X-class which are 10inch behemoths that are genuinely scary but epic to watch! lol

These are then generally broken down to 3 types of builds: with example videos...

Race - designed to be light and fast... like really fast! this kid is just a robot. I dont race, my brain cant keep up..


Freestyle - flippy floppy stuff that looks cool - digging wild willys flow at the mo and this is what style I fly.



Long range - built for efficiency and cruising over long distances. Bit of TBS goodness...


Its also usually cheaper to do hard drugs...
