Noise / vibration visible in blackbox logs

Blackbox logs show a clear noise spike, even if the flight feels okay.

💡 The idea: Find the frequency, then decide if it's mechanical or a filter problem.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Use Blackbox Explorer's Spectrum Analyzer to find the frequency peak

    Motor/prop noise typically sits above 250Hz — locate it before tuning blind.

  2. 2
    Check mechanical causes first

    Bent props, loose hardware, and unbalanced motors are common root causes.

  3. 3
    Tune dynamic notch / gyro lowpass to target the identified frequency

    Once mechanical causes are ruled out.

Found what works? Save it as a Setup Sheet and compare it against your baseline, log the result in your Run Log, or dig deeper in the RC Wiki.
