The Eachine 180 FPV Racer is unlike anything we have had in the office before, we were intrigued to find out how this tilt rotor quad is constructed, from the tilt motors to the frame construction , we have given the 180 FPV racer an 80% teardown. (Everything but the tilt motor shafts.)
The frame deconstruction

Separating the frame is fast with just 5 screws per side, 4 are directly connected to spacers and one is connected to the FPV camera.
Once the screws are removed you can slide the end of the frame out towards the motors.
The tilt motor section

The Eachine 180 Racer has a relatively simple tilt, compared to something like the Furious 320 that has a complicated gearbox. With a single servo and using rods, the arms link together. This makes any replacement of the arms or moving parts a lot faster and easier. You still would need to desolder the motors tho as they are hard wired to the ESC’s.
The servo
The single servo is on the right side of the frame and can be removed with 4 screws.
Motor Removal
Four screws can be removed to take the motor off.
The next step would require desoldering or cutting the wires as they are hard soldered.
FPV
Mounted right on the rear end of the top frame the FPV transmitter is clamped with two screws and sticky padded to the top of the frame.
A small adjustment window in the top frame allows you to select the transmitter channels for the video.
Built In Esc and central board
The ESCs are all combined together and form the main base bard that is screwed to the top plate of the frame.
FC
Flight controller sits in the front end of the frame and is held in place by a slot in part of the frame.
Camera
The front camera forms part of the main frame structure and can be repositioned by loosening the side screws, this means the position can not easily be moved or vibrate off. The camera does mount exactly flush to the front of the frame and has little protection if you hit something hard.
The camera is connected with a tiny 3 wire plug.
That’s as far as we went
The motor arms are clamped on with 4 screws, these are on tight and make sure if you take them off you get them tight again., You can get access to the main board and flight controller without removing them tho so we didn’t go down that road.
Accessibility,
The USB connection is on the Left side and well protected and easily accessible.
Overall this racer has a simple construction and can quickly be deconstructed, and for a tilt racer, it has the bonus of a very simple tilt control.
