Those motors sound sweet. There is no jello in the video. Can you run 6" rotors? Those sound like 5"ers to me.
Actually they are 6" propsThose motors sound sweet. There is no jello in the video. Can you run 6" rotors? Those sound like 5"ers to me.
So it sounds like PCB123 isn't a viable option.
If I am reading the website correctly, diptrace supports importing DXF layouts? Have you had any opportunity to try importing DXF files? I may have a stab at downloading and trying it out myself, since it looks like Mac OS-X is supported.
Thanks for the advice!

It is black G10, it is not painted, so shorting is not going to be a concern. I'll make sure to throw some some foam tape under them after all the soldering is done, I just wanted to see if the heat shrink I had would work. I already use Trinity RC foam tape to mount my receivers, and I also used it to mount my 12A ESC's on the initial build.I very much hope you have something between the arm and esc. Some high density foam tape works well. This does two things. Firstly it protects the esc from shocks during impacts and secondly it stops the smoke coming out from shorting on the arms although it does look like you're using painted G10. It is still a good idea to to anyway.
Don't bother with the 6x3 props on the 1960kv's running 4s, go straight to the 6x4.5 HQ glass/nylon props.
Hi Twitchity and Jithesma,
You guys are doing a bang up job on those quad bodies!!!!!
Jithesma, Seed Studios does sizes up to 30cm x 30cm...that's 12"x12".
It sounds like you want to do more with a PCB than just route power around. Jithesma mentioned a 6050 (I assume Invense MEMS chip). Just what are you guys up to?...lol.
