Help building my first quad/hex copter

- Start date
I backordered the turnigy 9x. no problem for me I guess. how longdo you think till it will get here? 3 weeks? 4? ill probably have the quad almost build by then lol I wont be able to complete because of the motors needing tuning and testing unless there is an alternative?
That sucks lol i was hoping of getting them before. By the way, do you know where i can find height, length and width of the dji inspire or something close in size? What lipo charger do you recommend for charging multiple lipos (2+) or is there only single chargers? I have can spend about 10-40 for a good charger or charger kit
@GJH105775 Hey so I am going to buy that charger soon but ive seen that they have a "newer" version for the same price. should I just buy the one you told me too or go for the newer one. thing is, I cant find the newer one anywhere lol cept for ebay around 23 bucks which tells me its an obvious fake heh
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/321498879697?lpid=82&chn=ps this is the newer version, or so we're told. should I just buy the one you told me?

It looks well enough. Maybe check the manufactures website to see if they even have a newer version, apparently they have trouble with fakes. When buying from China, if something looks too good to be true. It most likely is.
@GJH105775 amen to that brother. ive had my fair share of a Chinese products mishaps lol. im trying to buy from sky rc but there is no option
those links will come in handy

and can a 4 way power splitter work.

Here are some motors
Here is a 30a ESC
Here is a 4S 3000 mah zippy LiPo
You mentions LRS. I was thinkiing about biying the turnigy x pro instead as it only cost like 40$ more and getting it sooner. But it says it comes with no module which is a drawback but i guess the control is great for having 24 ch

Hi you just need to buy the module for the system you want JR or Spektrum, futaba or LRS, they work well

@holtneil thanks for the links
@GJH105775
what do you guys think of this one, it supposedly comes with module and receiver. but under the included section it says:
"*Please take note of the Rx and Tx versions. V1 and V2 are not compatible."<- that doesn't indicate the turnigy 9x pro right? It might be the lack of sleep that's making me see things incorrectly.
will this be compatible with the transmitter im buying? or is there a frsky module that can do it better for a similar price?
I also noticed that people upgraded the antennae on their quads. one question I have is, should I change the stock antennae on the transmitter? and Ive seen quads with antennaes like this one

Does not look like it will. If you look under the price where it says buy and save it will show some that will work.
Here are two in that price range, that will work.
100mw 433mhz
1000mw 433mhz
