Ares 17-Inch 775mm 3K T300 Carbon Fiber Heavy-Lift Quadcopter Drone Frame

Description: 

The Ares 17 inch carbon fiber drone frame is a kilogram-class frame. 775mm wheelbase, 1060g, and an AUW that easily clears 2.5kg with batteries and payload. This isn’t the frame you pick when you’re optimizing for flight time — it’s the frame you pick when the job requires lifting real weight and the structure cannot compromise. Heavy sensor arrays, cargo delivery prototypes, professional cinema rigs, military-spec platforms — if your payload has a price tag with commas in it, this Ares 17 inch carbon fiber drone frame is the carbon that carries it.

Side Plate Reinforcement on the Ares 17 Inch Carbon Fiber Drone Frame

What separates the 17-inch from the 13 and 15-inch Ares frames? Two things: side plates and scale. The Ares 13 and 15 don’t have side plates — their 4mm bottom plate and 10mm arms form a self-supporting structure that doesn’t need them. At 775mm wheelbase, that changes. The longer arm span creates more leverage, which means more torsional stress at the center joints under load. The 2.0mm carbon fiber side plates tie the stack together laterally, eliminating any twist that would otherwise develop at full payload. It’s 1060g versus 785g for the 13-inch — that extra 275g is all structural reinforcement that pays for itself the first time you land a fully loaded rig on concrete.

10mm Arms on the Ares 17 Inch Frame for Heavy Payload Rigidity

The 10mm arms are the same thickness as the rest of the Ares lineup, but on a 775mm span they’re doing different work. Longer arms mean more bending moment at the root for the same prop thrust. If the arms were any thinner, they’d flex under the combined torque of 17-inch props and heavy batteries — and on a platform like this, flex isn’t a performance issue, it’s a liability. We press our own 3K T300 sheet and cut every arm in-house, so the 10mm spec holds true on every unit.

Wide X-type layout, same as the other Ares frames. Four symmetric arms, centered mass distribution, balanced roll and yaw response. The 4mm bottom plate is your foundation — mount your heavy components there and let the 10mm arms and 2mm side plates keep everything rigid overhead. If you’re moving up from the Ares 15-inch, the question is whether your payload needs the extra 130mm of span and the structural reinforcement that comes with it. If yes, step up. If your gear fits the 15-inch bay, stay lighter.

Applications:

• Heavy cargo logistics prototyping — 775mm wheelbase and 2.5kg+ AUW capacity for delivery platform R&D. Mount your cargo release mechanisms, landing gear, and payload boxes on a frame that won’t flex under the combined weight
• Large equipment transport — When your sensor array or instrument package is too big for a 15-inch bay, the 17-inch gives you the clearance. LiDAR clusters, multispectral camera arrays, relay hardware — all fit with room to spare
• Professional cinema and broadcast — Heavy gimbal systems, cinema cameras, and wireless video transmitters add up fast. The Ares 17 inch carbon fiber frame’s side plates keep the stack rigid when every gram of camera gear matters
• Military and security platforms — 1060g of 3K T300 carbon fiber with 10mm arms and 4mm bottom plate. The structural margins are there for demanding environments and high-reliability missions where frame failure is not an option

Package Includes:

• Full set of 3K carbon fiber plates (arms, bottom/middle/top plates, side plates)
• Aluminum standoffs
• Stainless steel screws and hardware
• Arm soft mounts (vibration damping)
• Battery pad
• Battery strap
