    Dart 450 build, need advice

    The ESC's I picked go hand-in-hand with my KISS FC. They are rated 30A max and 24A continuous. You think I'll be pushing them to the limit? The ecalc says I'm hitting 14A at max per motor. These ESC's have overcurrent protection so I know they won't burn up. However will that lead to...

    Dart 450 build, need advice

    Dart 450 build, need advice

    I've got my shopping list assembled for a HK Dart 450 build and would appreciate any advice before I pull the trigger. I'm basically looking for a FPV drone for general bashing, not really racing or aerial photo. My experience thus far has been flying a Syma X5C in Mode 2 to get familiar with...
