G+_Jared Bartimus Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If I purchased the individual components for a quad based on the HobbyKing FPV250 would either the Multistar Elite 2204-2300KV or the RTF Mini Motor X2204 2300KV - Advanced Light Series be a good upgrade to consider? I am also looking at the RTF F-12A Fire Red instead of the Afro ESC. Considering the current draw/thrust increase I assume I would need to upgrade to a battery in the 2000-2200 mah range to maintain reasonable flight times.

G+_Jared Bartimus Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Awesome. Going for the higher current ESC's would be tempting just for the occasional fun with a 4s battery but that would add a lot of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_tptwk Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 what flight controller did you go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've got two versions. One uses a Flip MWC 32+ with GPS and the other uses a KK2.1.6 with custom firmware that lets me go acro. Believe it or not, but I have more fun with the KK because the LCD screen lets me tweak the settings in the field with just a button press.

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Harold Smith Indeed... but I also have a Futaba 6J and a Spektrum DX8. -- Should be getting in a FrSky set in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
