First 250 quad build - need help
#1
Hi, I am a quad enthusiast from Australia, and have recently been inspired to build my own 250 size racing quad. Me and my friend have been researching for the last 3 weeks and have compiled a parts list. Any suggestions and possible improvements would be welcome. Please note, the currency is is Australian dollars.

what's your budget (what's the limit you are willing to spend?)
and do you have any previous experience of flying LOS or FPV?
Do you already have any gear?

Very thorough planning.  Smile

I just have a couple of thoughts and suggestions.

Looks like the VRx in the goggles uses rp-sma connectors.  I've found that it's easier to find components (VTx's and cool antennas) with sma connections.  Antennas especially tend to come in pairs, so if you mix, you'll have to be vigilant about the connectors (and maybe buy stuff you can't use).  I've gotten rid of my rp-sma equipment and stick with sma.  (There are adapters, but it adds weight and ugliness.)

I didn't see any provision for recording video.  I think you'll want at least a DVR (the EV800's don't have one), and/or eventually an HD cam (Mobius Mini is my recommendation - but there are plenty to choose from).

I also agree about going with at least an F3 for the FC.  Not that much more $$.

One more tip:  Buy one extra motor, and one extra ESC.  You may not ever need them, but....  Big Grin

Hi Oscar, I do already have 4 quads, 2 LOS, 1 analogy FPV and 1 micro WiFi FPV. I think I would be willing to spend around $700 Australian dollars ($522 USD) maximum. I'd like to find a nice balance between quality and price. By gear, I assume you mean stuff like balance chargers, goggles, transmitters, and then answer to that is no. Also, regarding my budget, I'd like to spend less than 600 AUD, (447 USD). Thanks for your help guys. :)
