I'm looking to upgrade some of the parts on my old ZMR250 build. Thing is I have been out of the loop with the latest and greatest, especially in the BlHeli/Betaflight department. So I am wondering if you guys can tell me what is currently the 'bee's knees' as far as miniquad components go. What is the current best ESC architecture/firmware, what do the best FCs currently have, what other developments are there.
More than just helping me out, maybe this thread can serve to document the status of this part of the hobby, and help keep others on track, because we all know it can be hard to keep up.
Current Standards:
*Excluding KISS setups which use KISS 24a ESCs and the KISS FC.
