Yeah, the 12A Afro's would be perfect for it I suspect. I'd probably be cheap though and look at smaller Plush's or
10A HK's about $2 cheaper than Afro's...but P/N design instead of all N so they're slightly less efficient. Other than the Afro's there don't seem to be many low amp ESC's with pads and all N fet design.
That's even more tempting...But I'm thinking $3-$4 is the best I'd hope to get for the ESC's (And I'm notoriously lazy about actually selling things I've decided to sell
) but that does start to get tempting...
Yeah, I'm just unsure. I've been looking at some of the multistar motors but that aspect of the design has left me unwilling to risk trying them until I see how they hold up for more people. On something this small and light they're probably fine...but on my budget I need to be at more than a "probably fine" level of sure of things before I pull the trigger
Yeah I'm really interested to see how it comes out weight wise when fully assembled. I hadn't noticed until just now that they even include a battery at that price which is nice.
I didn't mean to imply that those motors would be an option for my knuckle
I was looking at some of the beefier multistar motors as a possible upgrade path. But I'm concerned about that built in shaft on the bigger ones I was looking at. I do have one of those NTM's I use in my bigger planes and have been really happy with it...but at $15 each they're a bit more than I can justify spending right now. I've been seriously considering the $11 RCTimer motors Cybertactyl has had good success with...but I just really wanted to stick with something with no shaft (though I saw he did say those have the threaded holes to attach adapters.) Only catch is if I do go with bigger motors I feel like I should also just go ahead and build a bigger more stable quad to dedicate to FPV use. So for now I'm still plotting and planning. My build season is coming up soon though since it will be too hot to fly much so I've got time to make plans
I think my biggest fear about something like this little 250 is that I'd be WAY too tempted to fly it in my house
