What are some good but cheap FPV drones?

[Oliver S.]

Hi, I'm new to FPV drone systems and I would like to know what are some quality, affordable set-ups for FPV racing.

Good and cheap do not typically go together lol.

Are you looking at building or buying something that is ready to fly?

No, I'm fine with building one, but I pretty much have no experience, so I would prefer to have an RTF quadcopter.

I have been looking at a QAV250 on Ebay which includes an entire system for flying it using FPV.

Here's the link.

That is almost the same setup I started with.

This is a good starting place, but I would try to find one with higher quality motors such as sunnysky. I had the emax motors, and they are just not durable enough imo.

And the fun begins!
