TRP review

TRP flight video

Designed and produced in Singapore, the TRP V2 by Total Rotor Performance© is based on the proven 5” KATAK Stretch SE platform and yet distinctly different. Designed for the discerning FPV pilot, the TRP V2 has pulled those extra bits to help pilots achieve even higher racing performance at an amazing price and quality of finish.

Crafted from high performance Mitsubishi carbon fibre, the TRP V2 squeezes more speed and acceleration from the KATAK Stretch SE; not forgetting aesthetic touches with the engraved TRP© orange logos for that racing performance look.

After listening to pilots, this frame is now equipped with Version 2 TRP arms for increased durability yet no weight penalty when compared to the Version 1, in fact there are some weight saved and more streamlined than before.

Fitted with TRP side plates the TRP V2 takes on an aggressive sleek profile for the ultimate racer look, while retaining the signature front of the KATAK.

The upgraded body plates hold everything together to create a light-weight and rigid race platform; producing flight characteristic expected of a pure-bred racing frame.

Available as a full frame, individual TRP parts can also be purchased for those who are looking to customise their KATAK Stretch SE frame based on individual preferences.

TR Tip : Mount the battery straps without going under the FC or electronic stacks, this frees up additional space under the stack to mount your RX etc and minimises the risk of dislodging wires if and when the battery straps snapped or when inserting.

Try this method and your battery straps will last for ages

  • insert the battery strap through the battery slot and loop back through the strap's buckle.
  • to secure battery, insert the other end into the battery slot on the frame's other side and strap down (Velcro down) Or zip tie an old buckle to the battery slot and loop through this buckle instead to secure battery
