Just getting ready to build my first quadcopter and having trouble finding the motors it's saying I need. 3512-930kv brushless outrunner motor (16 x 19mm mounting holes spacing),
The company I bought the frame from doesn't have them, so reading through the forum, lots of great information. Was wonder what are some good places to get motors through? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
 
Cool looking frame :)

http://ecalc.ch is good tool for this decision.

Are you looking for speed or longer flight time?

Here is what I am thinking, but you can go larger too for longer flight times. What battery are you planning on running?

2216 800kv, 900kv, 1000kv, 1100kv
 
Thanks, i would like longer flight times until i get better at flying, speed now would just mean more repairs :) I haven't looked at a lot of batteries yet, just trying to find motors. Appreciate your help. very cool tool, looks like it does everything I'll ever use it for and then some.
 
I cannot find anything on max prop size for that frame. If it is 10 inch props running 800kv on 5000mah 4s would give decent flight times.

I run 2216 900kv on my 500, and with a 5000mah 4s I can get about 12 minutes.

If you do decide to go with 4s make sure all the electronics can handle 4s voltage.
 
If you can't find the motors you want on Amazon HobbyKing will have them, but Amazon is a lot faster haha.
 
This flight control....Hobbyking KK2.1.5 Multi-rotor LCD Flight Control Board With 6050MPU And Atmel 644PA. The motors seem to be the hardest thing to locate, but for now just doing a little research and buying when I see what I like :)

Be sure to get a flashing tool, the stevies 1.8 firmware is really good. It really beats the HK firmware 10:1.
