Hi Samual, good list the only thing is the motors are a high KV for a large quad 480 grms ( not flight weight just frame) , normally heavy lift quads use a low KV motor and big props your going to need a 12 inch prop to get the lift so your better off with a 650 kv this will spin a 14x5.5 prop and not get warm so a 12 inch prop will be ok
4 cell will be better than 3 cell but if you want a 3 cell then 5200mah will be better
get the Kk flash tool as the kk2.1.5 needs a better firmware to fly nicer

also your need male to male servo leads to connect receiver to FCB
Plastic stand offs for mounting the KK
heat shrink

Thanks for the reply!
Ok, so i changed the motors to these, and i also changed my frame to this, it is a little lighter and in a X pattern. can i use 10 inch props to this frame or am i better off using 11 inch? It says that the frame can use 9~11 inch props. Changed the batteries to 4s 4000mah instead of 3s. This is the right flashing tool, right?

Hi mate yes yes and yes , one thing I will say is NTM motors are good and powerful but are not the lightest, also wires are stiff so dont bend them to much
