Howdy everyone! As title states, i want a racing quad.. i was considering buying an Eachine wizard x220, but they are sold out. So, im looking into building one.. Im pretty familiar with using a soldering iron, as i dabble in arduino a bit, and make my own circuit boards.
That said, my build list is roughly $350 before shipping with a lot of stuff, and thats without camera, transmitter, or headset. That seems a bit on the steep side.. I was hoping if i posted my material list, you guys could double check my selection, and give opinions..

frame - $25

FC - $23

Motors (5x) - $58

Transmitter/ reciever - $50

Batteries - $75??? (expect to spend on 3 - 4S)

Props- $ 10
taking recommendations on brands and styles.. was looking at 5x3x3 tho

Misc - $35
includes standoff kit/ heatshrink/ 12ga & 16ga wire/ xd60 connectors/loctite/battery strap/




ok, thats the gear list i put together after watching/reading reviews. i would sure like to make this a little easier on the wallet if i can. I have seen racing drone kits on ebay for $150.
Thoughts?

Theres alot of pretty serious racing rtf's out there that come with everything you need, including radio, that you can get your hands on for a heck of alot less than $350. Assembled, test flown, ready to go. Something you might wanna think about.

ok, thanks! i like that price tag a lot better lol. i was originally concerned with replacement parts, like say a motors. Are replacement parts available? i didnt see any under quad replacement parts.. or say i break one of the arms on the frame.

Edit: i did find replacement parts! thanks. i think that eachine quad may be the one i purchase. Thanks again!

Drones are multirotor, remote-control (RC) flying gadgets that offer another method for taking a gander at your general surroundings from at no other time envisioned points of view and sharing those undertakings through photographs and video. Numerous RC rambles offer the live first-individual review (FPV), placing you in the driver's seat on an invigorating joyride where you can investigate and even race from a pilot's perspective. On the off chance that you've at any point longed for contending in an air race or performing traps and tricks with your kindred fliers in an aviation expo, turning into a Drone pilot may be the nearest you'll come to encountering that excite firsthand.

I sounded exactly like you about a month or more ago. Been on YouTube almost daily since then! Check out these videos and follow these two guys. You don't have to get the same pieces, but they definitely help from start to finish.
