Drone Project Question

Hello There!
I´ve been searching the components to make a drone with my own hands and I was wondering if there´s something missing from all the things listed below:
1.Raspberry Pi 3 70g
2.DALRC DL265 FPV Drone Frame Kit 278g
3.Pi Camera V2 40g
4. 4 Emax MT2213 935Kv motors 55g each
5.Battery 375g zippy compact 2700mah 5s 25c lipo pack
6. 4 ESC 39g each Turnigy 20A brushless
7.PiAnywhere 4G 500g (It´ll work as a FPV transmitter)
8.Flight Controller: Navio2 50g
9. 4 Carbon Fiber aero star propellers 30g each
10. Power Distribution Board 38g
11. Mounting Pad (Reduce Vibration)14g each

I was also wondering if anyone had ever made a Raspberry pi Quadcopter Drone with PiAnywhere and Navio2 and if there are any recommendations or tips I could get
 
I'm not sure, Buki, but I think those 935kv motors are gonna be a bit shy on RPM for this quad.................

The seller supposedly says that each one can lift up to 850g (If They are 4, They would lift up to 3400g) with a 4S lipo battery and the whole everything weights about 1700g
 
:rolleyes: ... Those motor's specs call for at least 1045 props on 3-cells and 8045 on a 4-cell and are used typically used on 450 frames, not your 265.
You probably want to bump up those ESC ratings to 30 amps too ... just sayin ... ;)

A 265 frame means its about 265 mm from front to rear opposite sides at the motor hubs.
That's about 10.4 inches, which only leaves about 2.4 inches clearance with 8-inch props using the LONGEST line between the props (the hypotenuse).
If that frame is more rectangular than square, as most are, then the width between the two front arms or the two rear ones won't be enough to even use 8 inchers.
Check your frame specs for the width then let us know what you find. :)
 
What would you say about this one? Hobbyking SK450 Glass Fiber Quadcopter Frame 450mm
The Emax MT2213 935Kv Motor´s description suggests a 20A ESC
Unfortunately, I can´t paste any links since this is my only post
 
That sounds a little more right.
I would feel fine on the 20A esc's, but I get why people go heavy on them.
Just remember, as others have said, to match the prop size up with the battery cell count. 8" for a 4C
 
... Never been a fan of the "X-Body" quads ... I'm more of "Dead Cat" man myself ... lol ... but that's just me ... this 450 would also work

... As for any ESC, I like them to run cool so I always get higher rated ones than needed ... I've seen as low as 18 amps recommended for these motors
but as battery cells and prop sizes change so do the amps used and twenty is the general recommendation (which is exactly why I'd use thirties) :p
