So I went ahead and ordered the Realacc X210 pro build kit from Banggood to be my first quad build.  The kit it self seemed like a pretty good deal and had some decent parts. Since the kit didn't come with any fpv gear I added a Runcam swift 2 and a eachine tx526.




Here are the parts laid out before the fun started happening


I had read from previous reviews people having issues with fit and finish as well as the quad being a bit fiddley to put together. The kit now comes with instructions for building the frame and all the tolerances were great, all the motor bolts fit perfect with out any need of filing.

PDB starting to get soldered up, man I seriously underestimated before the build how much work went into them. I elected to solder on a pig tail to the PDB instead of doing the xt60 direct to the board.

Flight controller soldered and connected ready to test. This is the first FC I had it plugged in and worked once, then on the second power up let go of its magic smoke.

Wasn't going to make the same mistake twice and made myself a smoke stopper.

Mostly put together, you will notice the receiver sort of hang out the back. I hadn't quite figured out where to put it yet. But everything was working so I was nice and happy.

The finished product. All configured in betaflight and ready for a proper maiden. Did a quite sort of hover around the living room to make sure all was running fine. I definitely picked a tight frame to do my first build on. As of right now the vtx is mounted to the top plate with the receive wedged between that and the FC, not sure if thats going to create any issues.

Let me know what you guys think and thanks for looking. This definitely enjoyed building it although I will say it was a bit nervewracking.

Nice looking build, Marcus!  Can't wait for the maiden video - hope you've got a DVR!

You are a gamer, aren't you?I saw a razer keyboard in the background
Anyway a nice build

Gaming, flying quads and drinking beer... What a life...

Thanks! I have an old GoPro Hero 2 I am going to charge up and put on for the maiden.

I am indeed a gamer, although haven't been playing much lately. Love my Razer stuff, expensive but good quality.

Does any one see a problem with the way I have the receiver mounted in there? Not sure if having it wedged against the FC is going to have any negative issues. Just not a whole lot of options with how tight it is.

That always scares me. These things can do some insane damage in a split second.

Well got the maiden flight in today, only got to run two of the 6 packs I brought with me because the park we were flying at all of sudden got filled with people. I do have to say that thing friggen rips, way faster then the wizard. Its also quite a big thirstier for power.

The other problem was the sun was going down and blinding us like crazy. Ran in to a couple of issues though, the connector to the vtx like randomly pulls out a little somehow and powers it off.

The other was, and it might be due to the bright conditions of facing into the sun as its trying to set, was that on my camera (runcam swift 2) I was noticing at the top left and right of the screen it was super dark like almost black. Is that normal or do I need to take a look at the settings? Seemed fine when were flying in a different area of the park not so much exposed to the sun.

Maybe try a dab of hot glue to hold your vtx plug. Would be easy enough to peel off when you ARE ready to unplug but should give enough hold to keep it from vibrating loose. Just a thought I havent had my maiden yet (weather) but I am using the tx526 as well so let us know what you find as a solution

Nice build btw! And I thought my first build was tight (nox5r)

I ended up doing exactly what you said and haven't any more issues. I did run into a slight problem with the tx526, and it could be unique to mine, but the shrink wrap they used must not be the thickest as where the pins comes off of the connector wore through the shrink wrap and started shorting on the carbon frame. It didn't do any damage but I did have to put a new shrink wrap over it and it was just fine.

Got about 40 packs through this thing so far and really love it, flies great and has been really resilient in crashes.

Your first build came out great I really like the way it looks, looking forward to hearing about how it flies!

Hi Bollucks, I got pretty much the same build (not built yet but all parts ready) 
But I'm looking into mounting the runcam in the frame and I'm wondering where to mount it?
Also, the top plate serves for the go pro I guess but I don't see how it should fit there...

Thanks!

The X210 mount is designed for a GoPro but I found this to mount a Mobius/RunCam

Hi RENOV8R, I plan on buying a gopro session to mount on top and print or order the session mount but that's not my problem.
I notice that bollucks is using a Runcam SWIFT and I'm using a Runcam EAGLE...
I'm going to have to improvise to mount this cam in the X210 pro frame.. (cam too small, holes do not match)

Thanks anyway for the link!
