HD, I don't know where you are, but if you ever find yourself in Colorado, Hit me up. You deserve a beer for all your help. That goes for everyone else too!

Perfect. And thank you very much. This makes more sense now. I agree with you. At this point, there is no reason to mess around. I'm thinking new OPTO ESCs and a UBEC. Will the 20a ESCs make any difference to the motors I'm using? Is it only going to use whatever amperage it NEEDS? Also, The way...

Here is a poor drawing if how I have it. All 4 escs are into the fcb. All red (+) wires are attached to the pdb or run from esc to fc. I am assuming you are saying I put the bec in line to the battery leads, then power all escs off that, not the pdb? Also, remove all but 1 red wire from esc to fc?

OK, ill post a pic of my wiring setup tonight. You will have to forgive my noob Soldering (I know that might be a problem too) Maybe you can see if I'm not wiring things correctly.

Thanks HD! So, here's ( hopefully ) My last noob question. Do I just get 1 BEC, and wire that from my PDB to my lipo? Then just wire those ESC'S into my pdb like normal? I'll send pics of how I have mine set up tomorrow..... sorry for the stupid inquiries.

Do those ZTW spider ESCs have whatever they need to not produce so much RFI? From Jacksons post: "Folks have been knocking the standard RCTimers for a while. Mostly for their lack of all N-FETs and no 16MHz Crystal. They may just be noisy little buggers." Maybe a dumb question, but I have to...

I think what you are referring to is called OIC or orientation control. My understanding is this can be turned on and off by a switch, and if you loose with direction you are going, it makes whatever way is pointing at you, back. I know DJI uses a similar thing on the Phantom series, But that's...

Sold out... :-( Plus, id like to not change motors IF I CAN AVOID IT. But looks like a nice option. Lets call this, plan B at the TOP of the budget.

Sounds like a lot of fun! I've smashed my H107D into so many things at various heights, and its still going. I bought a ton of props on e bay I think, like 20 for $10 or something ridiculous like that. Best decision ever. I still haven't used all of them. I was more shamelessly hoping I could...

Check out this guys page. I used this exact set up to learn. VERY helpful. https://forums.openpilot.org/topic/38524-flips-and-rolls-for-noobs/

CC3D has a great setting that is good for learning. The easiest setting is called "attitude". this is completely self leveling and VERY easy to fly. The "expert mode" as you call it is called "rate". In this mode the Quad only does what you tell it to. Go forward, it pitches forward, but center...

That is awesome! I started with a hubsan. Love it. As for the not being able to break it, You are more than welcome to send it to me, I bet I can!

Maybe these? http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__65788__Afro_ESC_12Amp_Ultra_Lite_Multi_rotor_Motor_Speed_Controller_SimonK_Firmware_Versio_US_Warehouse_.html

OK, so the verdict is in. Looks like ESCs are gonna need to be replaced. Ive shortened all my wires, I have ferrite rings on everything, (wrapped a bunch of times as per GJ instructions) and same issue. So, I would like all of your help one last time again please. Can you please post LINKS to...

After soldering on all my pretty LEDs last night, I had an idea, but I'm not sure how it will work, if at all. So I'm flying with a Spektrum DX6 and the AR610 RX. I'm thinking, How can I wire the LEDs to be switchable? My THOUGHT is, use the 6th channel off the RX. I'm using the CC3d Atom FC. So...

Well, that worked. Thanks all!

Thanks jackson! I'll give this a go tonight!

Here is a link to the L.E.D.s I have. http://rctimer.com/product-1350.html And yes, I have tried soldering them directly to my 12v + and - on my pdb, but for some reason I cant get anything to stick to the factory solder. (noob) I considered tapping into my esc soldering, but I'm thinking...

Good day all. After waiting and waiting, brown Santa, (UPS) finally delivered the stuff I needed to shorten my esc wires. Now I'm just waiting for a new VTX, and we can all see what happens. However, Last night, in an effort to make my quad as clean as possible, I took out my Hodge podge of...
