Are you looking to upgrade your Blade Zeyrok for better durability and performance? The Carbon Fiber Upgrade Kitfrom Rack & Heli is the perfect solution! In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the entire upgrade process, provide useful tips, and share our real-world flight test results.

Why Upgrade to a Carbon Fiber Frame for Blade Zeyrok?

The Blade Zeyrok is a popular training drone, but its original plastic frame can be fragile during crashes. The Carbon Fiber Frame from Rack & Heli offers several advantages:

✅ Lighter weight, improving flight time and maneuverability.
✅ Higher durability, reducing the risk of damage during crashes.
✅ Professional design, allowing for FPV camera installation for an enhanced flying experience.

Step-by-Step Guide: Upgrading Blade Zeyrok with Rack & Heli’s Carbon Fiber Kit

1. Unboxing and Checking the Upgrade Kit

The upgrade kit comes in a neatly packed storage box, which can be reused for keeping extra screws and accessories. Inside the kit, you’ll find:

• Precision-cut Carbon Fiber Frame
• Screws & Assembly Hardware
• Multi-color LEDs (White, Blue, Red, Yellow) for better visibility
• Detailed exploded-view assembly guide

2. Disassembling the Original Frame

Before installing the new carbon fiber frame, you need to disassemble the original plastic frame:

• Open the drone’s top cover to access the flight controller.
• Remove the motors by detaching the plastic mounts.
• Carefully detach the flight controller, which is held by 3M adhesive tape. Use a thin screwdriver to gently lift it off.
• Remove the gears and LEDs for reinstallation onto the new frame.

TIP: If you have 3M VHB tape, use it to securely attach the flight controller in the new frame for better stability.

3. Installing the Carbon Fiber Frame

After removing components from the original frame, follow these steps to install them in the new Carbon Fiber Frame:

• Secure the flight controller, ensuring no metal parts touch the carbon fiber surface to prevent short circuits.
• Mount the motors using the provided screws and apply Loctite for added security.
• Neatly route the LED wiring through designated slots in the frame.
• Choose your battery placement: It can be mounted either under the frame or inside, depending on preference.
