FlightClub PROton Race Drone Frame

Designed from the ground up to be a race drone frame, the FlightClub PROton can adapt to any situation.
At the heart of the FlightClub PROton is the Nucleus plate.  It allows PROton to be configured into a total of 10 different frames.  The Nucleus plate is a CNC milled 7075 aluminum plate that lets the PROton rock either a canopy or skeleton (standoff) mode.  The Nucleus plate features threaded holes for the replaceable arms.  This eliminates the need for M3 nuts or capture nuts that either strip or are a hassle to swap arms.  

Borrowing a design feature from it’s brother Tokio, the Nucleus plate will have Butter Mounts.  Butter Mount is an innovative way to mount the flight controller stack using custom silicon injection molded grommets that virtually eliminates vibrations. 

The PROton race drone frame is available with 6 arm options – 4″, 5″ Race, 5″ Practice, 5″ SX,  5.5″ and 6″.   The 5″ arms will come in two styles, thinner Race arms and wider more durable Practice arms.  Pick up some spare PROton Arms.

Now available is the Hybrid configuration, 5″ SX arms in the front and 6″ true X arms in the rear.  Read more about this setup and see why some of the fastest pilots in the world are running this setup.

Just like the Tokio, PROton is loaded with details.
