Shouldn't have shown me that!.. My birthday is coming up, and now I feel obligated to get that Spark for myself..

There isn't shrink wrap around the solder pads on the ESC that lead to the motors, though.

Anything wet on the ground could potentially hit those exposed pads. Even damp grass..

Honestly, depends on your flying habits. 35A would be safer for 2300kv motors. I have been running a 4in1 20A esc with 2300kv motors for a while, (still waiting for the smoke) and the reason it has not burned up yet is because I am flying in a slow, smooth, controlled manner. If your zipping...

You usually need to replace both.

What frame is this?

Do any of y'all register your racing quads with FAA? I believe if it is over 500 grams then they say you need to register it. (If I am wrong please correct me)

I agree with Gyro. I have that quad build, and been flying it for the last few months. The 4in1 20A esc has held up so far, but there is definitely not enough going through. There is an obvious drop on motor 4 from motor 1. I have to pitch the quad back slightly to keep level.

How are the warranties on these pricier goggles? (if they have them...) I would want a replacement, rather than trying to fix something pricey like that.

Cheaper quads don't go through the quality checks to the same extent that the more expensive ones go through. A pool of 100 cheap quads will more than likely have more bad apples than 100 DJI's will.

How has your experience been with that Husban quad? I see a fairly good deal for it on Banggood.

I was told something like 2 weeks for my motors from Banggood (China) and if I look now, the ETA is May 25, which is well over a month from ordering. But, it's definitely one of the better deals motor-wise that I have found. Good luck, with it. Im taking a similar approach. Building cheap, and...

Great, feel free to keep us updated! I would love to know more. I am currently buiding a 450 quad with GPS to test the waters and gain more experience with an autonomous flight.

I have had good luck with Racestar motors so far and they are within your price range. I see a lot of others using these motors for budget builds, as well. I will be using 960kv on my 450 quad build, so maybe go for 920kv or lower. Racerstar 920kv - 4x 900kv - 1x 850kv - 1x Heads up: If...

Yes, the same thing happened again, just now, when going around the same tree haha. On closer inspection, I could see the c-clip holding it in was missing. Flies just fine without the clip, but definitely a vulnerability.

On the topic of motors... I clipped a branch the other day and the motor top/cap with the propeller popped off. I continued to just put it in back in and the magnetic force was pretty strong pulling it back to place. It seemed to go back normal, and fly fine. This is a first for me, so is the...

Thanks for the link. I figured I would need to upgrade the receiver sooner or later. That'll be a nice addition considering I plan to use the Flysky a bit longer.

Hey everybody, I plan on starting a 450 build. The difference with this build and my previous builds is that I want to add GPS and a gimbal supporting GoPro to the quad, so I am looking for help regarding those two areas. I have already ordered some of the parts regarding the build, so this is...

I love this idea. Thanks for sharing! After I master GPS, this will be my next project. Do you know of any sources I can start educating myself with?

I would build a 200-250mm racer. The $99 drone build from UAVFutures isn't a bad place to start. I recently built that drone, but changed some of the parts to my liking. It wasn't my first build so I already had a bit of experience. My total came out to about $130 and it took me less than a day...
