I was actually trying to make a quad within 10-20$

I plan to buy the following parts-
1) Syma X5C Motors - 4$
2) Propeller - 2$
3) Lipo Battery - 3.5$
4) Eachine E010 receiver board - 5$
5) Eachine E011C transmitter - 5$

Is there anything else I'll be needing??
Will these stuff be enough??
Will I be able to make a drone with this combination?
Is there a cheaper alternative to any of these??

Please Help me out!
Thank you.. :)

One thing missing on your list is an actual frame to put all this stuff in. As you're listing mostly Syma parts, you'll need an X5 transmitter which will cost you around $25. So can I help you build a cheap quad? sorry, no. But there are lots of RTF quads on Gearbest, Banggood, Light in the box, in the $20 range. You could always take one apart and put it back together

I replaced the Syma Receiver board with a Eachine E010 receiver board...

& yes, i can just buy a quadcopter as cheap as 12$ even... & i do have quadcopters..
I was just trying to mess around with parts of different quads to make a way cheaper drone...

& about the frame, I'd just make it at home..
 
3.5$ lipo = 3.7v = 1$ per cell = about 5 flights = bin. Would you be bothered.
Sounds like you want a quad but don't want to pay for it. Do some overtime & buy some proper kit.
 
I had a toy & the flight board as a spare cost more than the whole package.
The tx E011 is that a board or is it a fully functional Tx with gimbals.

I could've bought Fq777-124 with 12$ in that case..
I am trying to make the cost come down even more.... Won't happen in this case.. But still i want to experiment..
