Just wanted to start by properly introducing myself. This is my first post, but I'm sure it won't be my last. I'm currently flying a DJI Phantom FC40, Cheerson CX-10, and soon hope to get started on my first quadcopter build. I've been flying quads for about a year now, and came from the world of heli flying, but once I flew my first quadcopter, I fell in love with how much easier it was to just get out and fly instead of constantly dumping money into my helis for broken parts that seemed to be a fairly common thing once I moved to 3d heli flying. I'm actually a full time student, going to school for electronics, so this build can count as a school project so that's a bonus. I've been wanting to do a build for a while now, but just never got around to it, but next month I'm finally going to do it!
So moving on, to put it in a nutshell, I'm looking for the best setup for a non FPV race quad for under $300. I don't need anything fancy like gps, pos hld, or rth, just some good fast flying. I can always use the camera from my fc40 if I want video so there's that. I also have a Devo 7 Tx/Rx so that's another bonus. So with that said, anybody have any recommendations?

Once I get my tax return I'll order everything up, and take pics of my progress along with a parts list.
