New member in need of assistance.

Hello, I am new to this forum. here is my introductory story/situation. I need some help with building/buying my next quad. First off, I want an FPV quad. I started with little a ProtoX, then had an ares ethos 180 ( I think that was the name). Both left me wanting more. I would basically like something that is at a higher level. I am an RC car racer, so I just want one FPV quad that I can fly. I was thinking about building an FT Gremlin, but they really only run on 2s and they cant carry a camera. (The camera capability isn't necessary, but highly wanted.) I think I can build and wire a quad, but I have no experience with tuning and using the software. I do not have an air transmitter, so any recommendations on that would be helpful, and I also do not have batteries. (If this is in the wrong section, help me out and let me know.)

I'd suggest watching this video first. It'll give you instruction on how to build an FPV mini quad start to finish. You can use what's suggested for a low-cost build that's still fast and reliable, or use this as a basis for the build using upgraded parts.

Another take.

Tweaker 210 frame or qav-r 220
Emax 2205
Littlebee 20a or 30a esc's
SPF3 fcb
Flysky i6 Tx & ia6b rx FS A8S rx
Turnigy evolution Tx ia6c rx
Dal 5045 props
All above parts I would call cheap but reliable & easily replaced & All compatible.

Nice, thanks. Runs on 3s-4s?

Also, to everyone who comes across this, I just found out about the eachine wizard and also the eachine lizard 95. I like the mini stuff but if I can build something that is faster, like a 5in 250 that can carry a gopro for $100 then I will. Let me know if i can go faster than the lizard and still carry a gopro for about 150-200

I would say a 210 frame is about the smallest you would get a gopro on. The session cube easy but the older style gopro 2,3,4 I would say a 220 + size.
