Breakneck Racing Drones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The xCraft Rogue Drone Can Fly At 100 Miles Per Hour

— September 13, 2016 — Tech
The Rogue is an extraordinarily fast racing drone, developed by American company xCraft, that is designed to give competitive drone racers a massive advantage thanks to the fact that it is able to fly at speeds over 100 miles per hour or 160 km/h thanks to the inclusion of a boosted rear motor.

This particular racing drone features a regular racing mode as well as a booster mode that can be activated at the flip of a switch, sending the drone hurtling through the track and leaving the competition behind.

What's great about this racing drone is the fact that drone builders can purchase a frame kit for only $100 and build their own super racing drone around its skeleton. $1,000 will land you a complete drone with first-person view goggles, two batteries and a charger. It's a high-tech kit that harks to an exciting future for competitive drone racing.
