What flight times are you getting on those batteries?

What size battery are you using?

Ya stock battery gets me 3min flight if I'm aggressive. 4 min if I take it easy. I bought a Turnigy 750mAh, fits perfectly as you mentioned. My 4 min flight of taking it easy has been tripled. I now get 12min. Probably a bit less if I fly aggressively. Very nice little quad though. It's my...

Ok great. Thanks Gramps!

Hi all, I got myself a Sky Viper S670 and all is get. It came with a 1S 350mAh battery and a charger that plugs into a USB port on PC. Everything works fine but I was wondering, what happens if I plug that LiPo charger into a USB cellphone charger that has an output of 5v 1000mA. Will the...

Wow what a load of fun. Met a bunch of guys who were all racing fpv. I'm even more excited to build myself a quad. I saw this special from a company in the country I live in. Could one of you guys take a look and let me know? http://www.rcworld.co.za/product_details.php?proid=1085

I've come into contact with a guy who races in my area and he runs his own RC shop. I'm going to go watch the racing tomorrow and find out more info on what he sells. Hopefully I'll come away with an idea of what I'm looking for. Thanks for all your input. I'll post here tomorrow once I get back...

The same guys do a 2204 2400kv. I'm sure I could get them to swap that out and just pay the difference. http://www.rcworld.co.za/product_details.php?proid=34

OK so alot more research has been done, and a tone more Googling. I've found a company in my country supplying RC parts. They have this kit (see below) Is it worth it? Would probably be $120 based on current exchange rate directly. http://www.rcworld.co.za/product_details.php?proid=1038

I've found this website it's not in my immediate area, but it's based in my country. They have a new CC3D for R320 which is roughly $20. (see link) Is this a good deal? http://unihobbies.co.za/index.php?route=product/product&path=67_98&product_id=213#all

I'm so keen to build one now. The more and more I read up and watch videos the more I want to learn to race! In a controlled environment of course :)

Would a fpv 250 be something ok to start off with?

I appreciate any information I can get. I understand they are quite different in a sense. I know safety is very important as well. Another question I have is frame related. How does one go about buying a frame? Is it based on the amount of components that will be mounted on the quad or weight...

Not a proper racing quad. Only flown the smaller micro drones. Not sure if that's the right word for them. I have a Sky Viper S670. But I'm wanting to move on to greater things. Something you can customize and modify

Great info. Thanks so much guys. All my research is leading me to the CC3D as well. Maybe in the long run it will be better to have 2 quads. One more for racing and another for video footage. I'm still new to quads. I've got myself a Sky Viper S670 just playing around with getting a hand on...
