Convert Any Tinywhoop to use 18650

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Tinywhoops are all about agility and fun, but the tiny lipo batteries usually leave you with only a few minutes of flight time. In this video, I’ll show you how a few simple mods can transform any whoop into a high performance long flying cruiser powered by a single 18650.

If you don’t have a tinywhoop yet, the meteor 75 pro is the only tinywhoop I know of that comes with the larger 1102 motors. You can get it straight from BetaFPV here:
