0 This is why I created this post I don't know what is good or bad. If you guys can get a frame or a kit to start with then I'll run from there. Kinda like the bflight 210 above I searched it but could not really find anyone selling anything.

24 Tattu R-Line (75C - 150C discharge rate) batteries are possibly the best batteries money can buy, but they are priced accordingly, at about $40 each. I am still waiting for some concrete comparison info from Carl.Vegas about the 'Black Label' batteries that are sold by Ke at Indestructible Quads, on paper they sound like a great option for something cheaper (about $20 - $25 each) and still give your quad plenty of 'bang' for quite a few fewer bucks! BTW Indestructible Quads are based in NY, if he is out of stock, he posts the tracking number of his bulk orders on RCGroups so keeps everyone in the loop of how long its going to take to restock.
On the transmitter side, there seems to be quite a lot of people who are very happy with the Taranis QX7 (the cheaper FrSky option) but if you want one or 2 more bells and whistles the Taranis X9D Plus is the 'industry standard' for racers and acrobatic pilots. The QX7 has just recently been listed on BG with upgraded 'Hall Effect' gimbals already fitted, Hall effect gimbals are kind of like the 'brushless motors' of transmitters - more accurate and minimal wear and tear from normal use. You can buy the QX7 for $105 and add the hall effect gimbals yourself later, and save around $50, $105 for the QX7 normal version $199 for the one with upgraded gimbals, the gimbals themselves are $50 for a pair. Personally I am using a $40 clone of the FlySky i6X which I am quite happy with, I don't know what most of the bells and whistles of the Taranis range do, so I don't miss them much, a timer on my TX would be helpful though!
There are loads of build vids on youtube, there are also loads of build threads on the forum too, much of what you learn from vids are transferable between builds, but you will need to find specific compatibility info for your RX and FC to work together, though these days 'most' are pretty interchangeable.
As you have already seen, there is a wealth of knowledge here on the forum from guys who are more than happy to help, we are a very active community too, so any specific problems you encounter just ask, it shouldn't take long for a response.

0 I actually found a build on YouTube I'm going to base off of. Once I get the parts list will most likely open a new thread to see if everything will work together and questions on the build. Also I have a charger at home for my buggy but it only charges 2 cells not 3. Anyone have any opinions on what charger to get for 2 to 4 cell batteries also the correct leads for charging the battery.
