- I'm thoroughly impressed by the built quality of this racer. I've learned a lot researching this drone and how it works. I've got to give some credits for info sources:

The price is pretty reasonable. I love how the "ready to fly" option still requires hours of research and building to actually get it "ready to fly".
If you wanted a toaster, you should have bought a DJI. If you want a real drone, then be prepared to invest time in learning the hobby. For example, learning basic RC hobby terminology such as "RTF".
There's no turning back, Ed - seriously. Great choice on all of your gear as well. I look forward to your future "racing/fpv" vids. I think this is going to add a lot of excitement to your life.
Thank you very much for your video. I watched all these videos and no one explain to me how to put in a receiver except for you guys my hat's off to you. Keep up the good work and again thank you. Mark
Reminds me of setting up my first quad😁
Good video, the only thing I noticed is when I bought my ready to fly the drone receiver was already connected to the drone with the antenna tucked inside and my unit from China came with a better. Just check the details of the unit before adding to your cart to be sure
ED ricker, what a freaking good guy eh.
I have three of them love them less than a year been flying
i have this question about the buzzer i have 4 of them and i was wandering when you yours does it drain the battery faster cause when i use it seems like it kills half my battery time and it just kills the quad fast and right when the buzzer goes off no time to get it back. i set it a 3.00 but i not sure if that right cause it goes fast.am doing it right cause with out it i have more battery time.
How can I connect the radio to the drone?
Also my first almost a year ago. Expect the video antenna and receiver antennas to be the first casualties. The RX antennas are better off mounted out the back.
MojoPapi FPV is it hard to put together? I can’t decide if I wanna go for the RTF one
Did the propellers come in the box ... I just got mine but no propellers.
Hey man, is it worthy to still buy the drone? (as a first drone)
thank for video ! I have some problem, when i put "switch D" down, my propeller dont turn, Someone have an idea ?
Thank you
whn you get the ready to fly version can you just bind it then start flying?
Hanzy Ali that is effectively bind and fly
So I didn’t do to much research before ordering one of the Wizard X220 rtf kit from Banggood. This is my first actual hobby grade drone and I’d like to know if I’ve just made a big mistake in jumping above my experience level
Even though that comment was a year ago, you have made a good choice, and you should learn on a simulator. Also i was wondering how your exspirience with the x220 has been going bc I bought one, but it hasn’t come in yet.
Evan Bourgeois I skipped the simulator and jumped right into flight when it came in. I loved the Wizard X220 for the short time I had it. The video signal to my headset wasn’t to good but it still flew perfectly and was a lot of fun
You have to buy these as parts and put it together or open the box and fly?
If you buy the ready-to-fly version, you'll get the radio controller along with the X220 racer as shown in the video. The props/receiver/battery will be included. However, the Eachine EV800 googles are a separate purchase.
As for opening the box and flying immediately, no. You'll likely have to go through the steps i went through to get the remote binded with the receiver and securing the receiver antennae.
So this one comes totally programmed to fly out of the box? You don't have to configure all the settings for the remote channels and mess with it in betaflight?
Yes you do have to access Betaflight. Joshua Bardwell has a great video on the Wizard X220 Betaflight setup.
can i use that without betaflight?
At time 1330 you cut off i did this to mine its not going anywhere. Its came plugged into ppm
I've tried everything and nothing works :( every time I plug in my drone it finds it but won't connect? With the error being "no configuration was received within 10 seconds"? I hope someone/anyone can help, I'm getting desperate! Thanks for any and all help
Giulian Ferranti a year later...... NO HELP SMH
I cant find basic videos on youtube that show how to connect this quad to betaflight,(ive watched heaps of them) I plug the usb into the side of quad plug the battery in put usb into pc and try and connect in betaflight but it keeps disconnecting/fails to connect. all the videos on youtube talk about flashing the board but I just want to alter some settings to get acro mode etc onto the 3 position switch and setup a arming switch, not flash and start from scratch
For me it's as simple as plugging it in as you've said. The battery doesn't need to be connected in order to connect to your computer. Perhaps you can try a different cable, USB port, or computer?
ok I will try a few things thanks for your reply.
try a different cable as said, open beta flight first, then plug in ur quad (no prop;) plug ur battery in if u want to check ur motors and a few other bits. I'm mega new to this so I'm just regurgitating processes I've been through within a few weeks. i just got the 220s, I'm bloody loving this hobby so far. i got myself some star wars on start up and mad flashing led's... i don't even remember how i did that tbh hahaha to much you tube :)
Got it sorted thanks for all help, this quad is very fast I tried my first flip and it took of sideways and got stuck in a tree lol.
RD Radiators hahahaha love it 😊
I binded that, but motors not spinning. Can You give me advice, please? I just know that the red LED on the control board must shine, but not shine.
Have you set your arm switch?
@@EdRickerVlogs I think not. but I thought it was not necessary in the ready to fly version. Can I set it without a flight configurator?
@@vedatorpeta You'll likely need to download the betaflight configurator and set your switches and such. Joshua Bardwell has a great video on setting it up.
@@EdRickerVlogs I tried it but I have some problems with connect drone to the configurator. But I think I will mend. Thank you for your answers.
@@vedatorpeta If you can't connect to Betaflight after plugging in the quad to your computer, try downloading the ImpulseRC Driver Fixer here: impulserc.com/pages/downloads
Run the driver fixer while the quad is plugged in. Then unplug and replug the quad to the computer with no battery connected.
so you have to by a reciever sepertaley?
On Banggood for 169. Sometimes 189, you get controller , quad, charger, battery, transmitter, and extra. All you need is few more batteries and a 4s(4 cell) charger. If you want better transmitter they got that too!
Can the video signal be sent to a smart phone?
Maybe some sort of roundabout way, but not easily. You would definitely have much more latency than when viewed from an analog video viewer.
Bobos Curse you will need to either add a wifi camera to your drone or add a video receiver to your phone.
Possibly add a cheap wifi action cam on top
Am I the only one having troubleshooting in the computer setup? It is failing to connect, done all the steps up to the computer phase and struggling. Not sure what betaflight is not computing.
Help somebody?? :)
lovebuggies you need to connect it with a USB to micro USB cable
Looks like the first not destroyed banggood box
Why they didn't put battery?
They shipped it from China, and shipping batteries overseas is a big hassle.
Well shit that was lucky I watched this, didn't realise the b3 charger not for 4s batteries...
Can i have that??
Can't help but notice all the props are on wrong lol
You're first to notice lol, luckily I figured that out before I went to fly.
Ed Ricker did you notice before you attempted to fly? I know i have made this mistake 😂
Haha yes, I noticed before I tried to fly. I recorded the unboxing with a few beers slightly out of frame, I blame them! haha
