The brushed motors you see in the quads you are looking at are DC. They need gear reduction to produce the power they need to give the quad good performance. The brushless motors we use in "real" quads:p are 3 phase AC. They produce tremendous power for their size and don't need gear reduction...

Blasphemy!! Are you thinking of dumping your precious micro's and getting a real quad? Hahahahaaa!

That's another option

I could be wrong but it sounds like your center of gravity is biased toward the rear. Mark the center of the quad. Using a piece of angle iron, or something similar, place the center line of the quad on it. If it tilts toward the rear then that is the problem. Move the battery forward until the...

Hahaha! I don't know about not wearing out. They aren't designed to last long anyway but with proper care you should certainly get enough bang for your buck, which in this case is learning to fly your new quad. Can't ask for much more than that.:)

Since you are using these to learn on I say lube up those itty bitty ball bearings and give it a go. The props are kinda pitchy, no doubt, but if you stay away from full throttle and fly at an easy pace you'll probably be all right. Stop after a few minutes and see if the motors and ESC's are...

At 52g the mobius weighs more than the quad! Then you have to add the battery and mount.

Told ya mike would overwhelm you! I just got this Spektrum camera/Tx. It is the size of a nickel and weighs only 10g. Surprisingly good quality video. I already have the Rx, monitor etc. so it made sense to me and I can also use it on a 310mm quad I just finished designing. Something to think...

The 20a is fine. Always go over whenever you get a cheap ESC. That is just the max amps it can handle, and it will run cooler and be less likely to have a problem. Same with the motor. The 28mm is the can diameter. The mounting holes are spaced the same. The F450 arms have multiple slots and...

All too true. As long as we use common sense we can continue to enjoy our hobby just like the car, heli and fixed wing guys do. Combating the sensationalism of the media is difficult but necessary. I have been hoping AMA would be more proactive like the NRA. Instead they have seemed a bit wimpy...

Hi Yesha and welcome! The thread size is 2.5mm. You can get them at Home Depot or order them online from HK or Amazon or ebay. Whichever you prefer. You should go ahead and start your own thread. Ya kinda hijacked Shuff.;). Put it in the Newbie section and be sure to put school project in the...

Welcome Skybird! The guy you need to get with is Mike H. He loves the little RTF's. Wouldn't be surprised if he tucks them in at night! Haha! You can click on "members" and contact him that way or you can hit "search forums", enter his name and view his posts. You can jump into one of those and...

I just did a quick look thru on Banggood, Gearbest and HK. There seems to be an almost overwhelming number of choices. I don't know if they have a different web page for you Aussies. The reason for not sending LiPo's to you may involve Aussie regulations or tarriffs that make it difficult. Maybe...

One more question. Is this the package you ordered from Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010N3073I?psc=1

The unfortunate fact is that if a motor or ESC fails you will fall out of the sky. There are many people flying quads using your components and enjoying many trouble free flights. There are also quite a few who experience dramatic crashes from those same components failing. After my first couple...

Welcome aboard Gabriel. The parts you listed will work fine together but a better choice motor for your f450 would be; http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__43884__MT2213_935KV_MultiStar_Motor_and_Propeller_Combo_10x4_5_CW_CCW.html It won't have to work as hard to lift your quad and...

I saw where it had a 150m range. I went ahead and ordered it on your rec. I'm still gonna fiddle with the props while I wait and I'll drill the body when I take it apart to put the board in. Messing with these little toys is kinda like trading my Harley for a Vespa....Hahaha!!

Welcome to the forum reverend! Let us know what your budget is so we can do a better job of spending your money! As far as motor numbers go, we can use a motor of the size your quad would use; 2306 kv2050. The 23 is the diameter in mm of the motor. The 06 is the height of the magnets in the...

Cool. Thanks!

I am going to do some searching. I have a Futaba 10 and a Spektrum 8. I'm gonna see what I can find on binding one of them.
