Hey there guys, new to the site but by no means the hobby of quadcopter piloting, and looking to get into building my first FPV drone!!
I have done a heap of research on what to do/how to go about it, and from my understanding,the easiest thing to do is to choose a Frame you like/that fits budget> Choose Motors> Pick Rotors according to frame size> Choose ESC based on motor at 100% throttle> Choose a PDB> Flight controller> VTX> Camera> Battery> Assemble.
So, keeping in mind I dont want to really, spend over $200 on the drone itself as I need to get peripherals also, can you guys giv eme any tips and hints or warnings mostly, about compatablity of my parts and general performance?
I mostly want a responsive, nimble but not jerky, FAST drone. More to get into racing than acro.
So I jumped on Banggood and chose a frame:
And low and behold it suggests THESE motots:
But I was thinking about upgrading to THESE:
I'll also be seperating the motors from the esc's and also probably the esc's and the flight controler, with these LED strips
I was considering these props:
Or for abit more grip these:
The Frames "build guide" suggests THIS flight controller AND 4 in 1 esc:
However if I was to use the higher KV motors, especially with the higher pitch props, would it be a better idea to get seperate ESCs? As spare?
My biggest concern is I got results from MQTB - Explore showing an 80amp peak draw settling to around 30 on some motor/prop combos from a 4s battery. I'm aware they should have a burst rating (that I can't find) but I also find some sources saying to get 20% more esc than you need, some saying 20% LESS.
I'm also wondering, as MANY sites say that cheaper ESC's can also effect throttle output/responsivity by as much as 25%, so I'm wondering if seperate esc's would be a better idea? I just dont know about the QUALITY of these sorts of parts very well yet.
I also chose this PDB as it seems like they are much the same, yet this has many functions I like
This battery:
This VTX:
Or this one?
Sending data from this camera:
Or this one:
And this Receiver:
Boosted by this:
With this controller:
And this headset:
Please don't be savag, im genuinely asking for help, I only THINK I know what I'm doing... Please forgive me if something is glareingly stupid, thats really what I'm here to find out before just wasting 500 bucks on a set up thatI dont want to become a fire hazard xD
Thanks for your time, if you made it this far, and thanks in advance for any advice ^_^
