Hi Everyone;
First, I am a total noob so please forgive me of my lack of knowledge. I am trying to build a mid range freestyle drone that I want to make into a 1 mile distance freestyle drone down the line. I am also trying to keep the price reasonable by picking a good base that I can upgrade more later. Anywho! Here is my part list I have assembled.

Please do let me know of anything I can or should get cheaper elsewhere. Also if there are other far superior similar or lower price please do let me know. Any advice is completely wanted and welcome.

Any help is really really greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Lenny

All looks pretty good to me... Though if you're going with an X9D you may as well spend a few extra $$ and get the special edition, you're going to want to do all the upgrades eventually anyway.
