This is my build overview of the Eachine Razor. I'm going through my whole build process for this model, and highlighting any issues I find along the way. This is a fairly long video, so please feel free to use the chapters that I've added to navigate the video.
Firstly, sorry for the delay on this video. I was waiting on a motor to turn up, then two came along at once. Also, apologies for some of the shots. I currently don't have a lot of bench space, but will be working on that ASAP. I believe all the important parts were shown well.
Just to be transparent, the Razor kit was supplied by Banggood. The rest of the parts I bought myself. All parts are listed below. The opinions in this video are mine; and I'll be raising good and bad points along the way.
