Hello all! I have a spare 130mm frame and I want to take the plunge! I own a FLYSKY Tx and I am going to use 1306 4000kv motors (not sure which ones the EMAX are nice but 15$ each is a little high for me)
I need this to be on a budget (my wife is awesome but she has her limits)
So I am looking for suggestions, input, and/or links (I use BG but I hear Gearbest is good too). I am not 100% on what fits with what, but I have a basic understanding of the system(s). Just set on motors (I could go a little lower on KV rating, just want punch so there aren't thrust issues)
 
I've Been in this hobby for 2 years built about 20 quads for my self, friends & strangers. I myself am in the process of building a 130 size, but the mountings are for upto 1104-08. So I pretty much know which motors I'm going for.
I been using Emax RS2205 on all my builds. I used a few of the dys but emax are reliable. Christmas is coming so this will be a cheap one also. All new components. Still trying to locate a 4in1 esc for around 15amp, just in case I ever do decide to step it up to a 13xx size motor. But the only esc's I can find are non betaflight or cleanflight as the motor numbering is wrong & I don't really want to spend £50 on a tower or a 5in1 when I already got a Piko blx. IMG_20170929_173902063-1024x575.jpg the frame came in the post in 7 days from eBay, China. Purchase date 22sep, estimated date upto Oct 24, actual date 29sep.
Had all the Chinese post marks on like it came from China. I know they have warehouses in UK ports but they come with normal UK post marks. Crazy, so I may try another small item off the same eBayer. IMG_20170929_173938718-1024x575.jpg
These esc's are what I use on my 220 kwads with 2300kv. So I'm bending toward trying these esc's with the BR1106
3800kv & 3s 400mah or around that.
But waterproofed to the max.
Winter is coming.
 
I've been tending to stick with old reliable parts. I need to try some new kit. Hoping that this new mini might get me some customers for Christmas.
 
I was looking at a tower set up with 4in1 @ 30amp, so in theory it could support up to 4s (I think 3s will be plenty with the motors I am going to use.
 
Could you link to that please.
The only ones I can find in the right motor configuration is 4-10amp
The rest are non beta or cleanflight.
For 4s i would be best to go with the emax 4500kv. But I run the above esc on 4s with Dal V2 cyclone.
It would be worth seeing how they handle higher KV motors With 2" props like the gemfan hulkie. Non of these esc's have died on me yet after a year of use. Not a fan of AIO's as if one goes the rest is useless. Keep us updated on your build.
 
Are you sure that will fit in a 130 frame.
Holes on mine are 16mm & 20mm.
That tower is 35mm. Sorry don't know how to link. But here is my orderd parts upto now
Lantian bif X130 fame
Piko blx & 10a 4in1 esc sandwich.
Eachine vtx03
2x 1gram Cmos 600tvl cam.

All I got left to order is an FS A8S rx
and my motors emax RS1106 4500kv for 3-4s. Only on 3s with above setup but 4s with my usual esc's.
 
Yea it will fit. In the video it is linked from ANDYRC uses the same frame I have, its the frame for the JJPRO P130 Battler. I am stripping mine down and tranferring its gear to a bigger frame so it can swing 4" props
 
I can't find much info in the pocket rocket, & can only find them from one seller RadioC. So from what I gather they are a re brand of spedix. Not sure though.
