Quick question should I select betaflight 3.1.o because it wasn't released then?

Welcome to the group @NBanks02 .

Is it worth taking the props off before he dives into BetaFlight?

 

[NBanks02]

I've flashed but now my receiver doesn't seem to be coming on

 

[NBanks02]

You can call me Nick, thanks mate! props have been off for days.. just flashed it, not sure what to do now

Good catch ! ... YES !!! .... Remove your props before monkeying around with any settings ... ALWAYS ...
I can just see him finally getting connected then immediately totalling the quad while adjusting the settings

 

[NBanks02]

[NBanks02]

Welcome to the hobby! The struggle is real. Gonna Frankenstein's monster me a flying one till parts all come in. YAY AMERICAN CUSTOMS!!!

... Popping the 5 incher's FC onto the 6 incher would seem to be the obvious choice .... unless ...
there might be an underlying reason the FC died, in which case you could feasibly fry the other one too

Popping the 5 incher's FC onto the 6 incher?

 

[NBanks02]

I was watching a video a couple of nights ago and tried following it (not the above video) it told me to unplug and re plug on the other side of the board like he does at 5.57 in that video, then to change where the other end plugged into my FS-iAs6B to going across CH5 CH6 and B/VCC at the top, I moved it back to how it was recently but when I was putting it back I put the receiver end the wrong way around (black cable on the inside) a few times, I've flashed successfully since but led on my receiver isn't coming on with power input I think I've broken either the cable head or receiver... what should I do?

Should I buy an upgrade like in the video above?

And where can I buy another cable?

Or any other ideas?

Found that on Bangood, but don't think it comes with the cables?

Can someone help me finally get in the air

 

[NBanks02]

what is black red and white cable called that comes out the receiver called? want to buy another one as I think mine is broke

 

[RENOV8R]

It's called a male to female servo extension cable. If your receiver is no longer working, chances are you've given it direct power and fried it. Receivers need 5 volt, you need to find the pins on your flight controller that are putting out 5 volts

Popping the 5 incher's FC onto the 6 incher?

Given there's two quads, one is a 5" with a bad motor and a bad ESC; the other is 6" with only a bad FC,
the easiest and most expedient fix would be to remove the FC from the 5" quad and install it into the 6" quad.

 

[Gyro Doctor]

I agree with RENOV8R, it's likely you've wasted the RX.
You have to be careful to not supply it too much voltage or reversed polarity.

 

[NBanks02]

What is the flight controller? If always thought that was the remote with the throttle
