    My opinion for best bang for the buck in affordable power systems are SunnySky motors, ZTW Spider opto ESC's and Castle Creations UBEC. Perform beyond their price point. You won't have to service the bearings for 40 hours or more and the ESC's require no programming. Plug and play, and operate...

    Good luck. Little stuff like that can just frustrate the crap out of you all out of proportion to how minor it is. Cheers back at ya!!

    Quadcopter for fishing?

    Welcome aboard,ShadS! Interesting idea you have there but 1 to 2 kg of bait could feed a family of four! Haha! You should consider getting a cheap, ready to fly quad to learn on. You will crash. A lot. Better to replace parts at a couple dollars each than at $100.00 each. My favorite little...

    got a slight yaw...

    To eliminate a mechanical cause, like slight differences in manufacturing runs, you could swap out the props to better ones if you are using cheap plastic props. If your props are the good stuff try swapping the left front motor and the right front motor being sure to plug them in for correct...

    Hex to powerful? or not

    That would be better suited to the KV on your motors. Hope it works for you.

    Hmmmm. You may have found your problem. Swap them to the back and see if that helps. I have never heard of cloned Emax motors. Clones are usually of upper end products. If they are clones, it just shows how bad the Chinese economy really is and how desperate they are. I hope it's not the case...

    Newb Looking for advice on affordable micro/mini RTF

    Understand. Just thought I'd throw it out there. I still say you should get a mini for indoor and the X5C1 for outdoor. You can add upgrades to the x5 as you become a more skilled flier. All for under a $100.00.

    Hex to powerful? or not

    Have you tried a lower pitch 12"? Like a 12 x 3.8 or a 13X 3.3 or 14 X 2.7?

    Motor upgrade question

    Sorry Rev. I tried to warn you, but there is no known cure for "Quad Disease". Perhaps someone will start a Quads Anonymous. Until then we'll just have to spend more money.....Heeheeheeeeee!!!

    I agree on the vibration. I think it would be wise to systematically eliminate each possibility. If it were my quad I would first move the camera out of the line of fire from the prop wash. hipplew, I swear there is something wrong with those motors. Although Emax is not the best, I have never...

    Have you tried moving your camera back out of the prop wash? Maybe check your prop balance again. Stand well away so your breathing doesn't effect it. I didn't see any balance tape on the motors. How did you balance them? I hate to say this but the motors sound like a threshing machine and they...

    Motor upgrade question

    No S*&T!! I blew my quarterly quad budget on those and props. They are the best piece of quad gear I own. Like little jewels. I tuck them in at night just like Mike H. does with his little toy quads. Hahahahaaaa!!

    Newb Looking for advice on affordable micro/mini RTF

    When you are ready, skybird, let me know. I bought 2 Quanum Nova's(HK CX20) w/ no battery, for $229 each. I don't know why I did that. Senility I guess. I have one that I only opened to check that all the parts were there. Never assembled. Never powered. I will sell it to you for $229. Shipped...

    3.7V Battery Life flying a X5C?

    Give these a try; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MF3SAF2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01 They fit perfectly with no modification. Come with a 4 port charger. I have been using them for a couple of weeks now. I removed the camera and landing gear and flew gently at a few...

    Tiger motors are a great choice, but for your racer you need the 1806 KV2300 combo pack.

    EMAX 2204II Cooling

    Wow! Let's see if we can do this one at a time. The Emax are not as good as the other motors. That's true. The t-motors are not rated for 4s but could probably handle it for short flights. No real need too though. I don't dabble in cheap motors so I don't know of anything less expensive than...
