thingiverse

The Gatehunter SLS3, aka Mini Gatehunter, is a compact racing frame that packs big performance in its 3" package. This tiny titan is a direct descendant of the super-light SLS5, and like its bigger sibling, it's built for speed with a focus on low drag and weight. But don't let its small size fool you - this frame is surprisingly robust and easy to maintain. **Key Facts:** - Weighs in at just 29g, including all hardware and canopy (minus the extra brace) - Equipped with Strech-X 140mm arms - Max prop size: 3" - Specifically designed for 20x20 stacks only (M2 mounting holes) - 12x12 M2 motor mounts provide solid foundation - 3mm bottom plate and arms ensure durability - 19mm Micro Cam (14mm Nano with adapter) provides crisp visuals - Canopy is optimized for the Lumenier Micro Axii The Gatehunter SLS3 features the latest and greatest components in its class: - **Motors:** The 1506 4300kV Rcinpower motors offer incredible value for money. Alternatively, check out the new 1408 iFlight Xing 4100kV motors. - **FC & ESC:** Pair with the Mamba f722 stack or the more affordable Mamba f405 stack. - **Camera:** Use a Runcam Nano 2 to shave off grams compared to a Micro cam. You can also fit any 19mm cam, excluding the micro eagle. - **Receiver:** Choose the FrSky XM receiver for seamless communication. - **Video Transmitter:** Opt for the TBS Unify Nano32 400mW or the budget-friendly Eachine Nano 400mW VTX. - **Antenna:** Employ the Lumenier Micro Axii antenna for optimal performance.
