Hi guys, i have flown a couple of small cheap drones and have owned a bebop 2 but now i want to get into fpv racing drones. I have watched a lot of youtube videos but still finding it hard to choose parts and match them together. I have a budget of $900 AUD to build a drone that can atleast fly for 10 minutes but still be very very quick and acrobatical and also need a controller and fpv goggles etc.

Any recommendations of parts and where to buy them would be great!

Okay I guess I'll have to stick with 5 minutes!

Is there any others you would recommend from banggood? I did look at that one and wasn't really interested. Would it be better choosing parts and building something that would more suit my needs?

This is the the most sophisticated Eachine. 2205 motors, a racing F3 controller and BHeli_S 4S capable ESCs. Folks seem to luv them. If you need speed get some 4S LiPos for it. It comes with plenty of props. :)

This annoying little elitist even liked it.


The same guy also reviewed these very favorably.

There is an ARF version, you can get your own fancy TX/RX, charger batterries and props.

We have researched and made the Top 10 list of best drones for filming 4k videos. If you are a professional video producer or just want to buy drones that could give the best 4k experience for your daily life chaos. Or you are simply bored from the typical remote flying drone that is not recording good quality videos. This Top 10 list contains best drones with the camera that can record 4k videos which are like watching the live seen by your own eyes. Choosing drones for filming is a very difficult decision to take because there are a lot of marketers out there that they don’t offer best drones for filming 4k videos. But they are just wasting your time. After reading this complete article you will be fully satisfied and will pick one drone for filming.

250mm racer with a 10 minute flight time does not mix too well. The battery needed to sustain a 10 minute flight would make the quad sluggish.

4-5 minutes is about the best time/agility balance to work with.

Here is a good starter quad.

I have to respectfully disagree. Had three of those. They are trash and a lot of proprietary parts. Cheap parts, weak arms. Crappy placement of VTX, motors are such junk they need capacitors for each one to clean up the video noise. But they also vibrate and break off. The built in power board/lower plate it prone to shorts... a Generic ZMR 250/ QAV style would be a much better option.
