Hi guys,

So im just looking into building a quad. The frame i was looking at is the ZX 250 V2. Searching google does not return many results on people who have used this frame before. My question is that since this is a 250 frame, will the PCB for the QAV or ZMR for example be compatible for this frame, or is there a way to figure out what PCB will fit this frame? On the manufactures website i cant seem to find any PCB recommendations. Any and all advice would help as this is my first build and am still new to this! Thanks!
 
Hi mate and welcome to the forum, most PCB I think you mean the Power Distribution Board ( PDB) are a standard size , the only time your have a big problem is if your going to a 130 or 150 frame size , the better way may be is use a loom as this can run the length of the frame and run leads off this , some thing like this( see link) , what a lot of guys do is use a PDB thats the same size as there FCB ( flight control board ie KK nase32 etc)so they mount one on top of the other , but here is 2 other ways

or this PDB will fit into the smaller quads

PCB is Printed Circuit Board, PDBs are usually a PCB. Also the link for the cable appears to be for a tricopter.
 
Hi George it was just to show another way to connect up , I am old school lol , I corrected the link to a quad
