Help! Making my first Quad!

[Houndpup Rc]

Oh okay. I thought the F405's were not the thing any more.(But I guess no one ever got rich selling old technology lol) Thanks! F405's are differently cheaper.😅

That leaves more money to put into the video system and the motors.

Any other advice for what I should focus on for getting more quality components?

Frame, motors, FPV gear, props. I still think the SpeedyBee F405 AIO is one of the best ways to go.

I think the Speedybee F405 55A stack is good for higher amp draw builds.

And running your batteries down faster.

Think of it this way.. The video I linked the other day was pulling 100+ amps at full throttle... so 25-30 Amps-ish per motor. I was NOT running full throttle for the whole flight and still sucked the majority of the battery down in about a minute. it is a 5" quad. I'll have to look at the motors and props on it. It was running on 6s so 2000+watts easily at full throttle. Amps x Volts = Watts.

Do you crave short flights, or would you rather have something that handles really well under most conditions?

Well, you don't have to run WOT the whole flight. The high amp esc makes sure you don't fry your esc when you have bigger motors.

My brothers build with 2306 motors running 4s will draw 100+ amps on a wot punch out.

If you want a nice "balanced" freestyle quad, something like these would be good if you wanted a 4S build with individual ESCs.

Well I am trying to cater to what people want nowadays. I can't afford HD as of right now but i think 6S is more popular.
It also has to look professional......

Bigger motors are not the end all cure all for a good flying quad

I guess.....Just the big name companies out there obviously make money on these new big builds and they would make them if they didn't.
But on the other hand I might to have my own niche of more easy to fly and efficient quads.

Let me clarify that I am talking about for selling not for myself......I already know what I want.
