150mm build need advice

Solly747400 · Feb 1, 2018

About to order my next project. Because I'm still very new to this, I would like to run it past you guys and tell me if something won't match or maybe not a great choice etc.
So here it goes

Realacc Purple 150 frame
F4 Flame FC with OSD and BEC 5V
Racerstar RS20A Lites ESC
Kingkong / LDARC 1306 3100KV 2-4S Brushless Motor
Eachine Wizard X220 cam
VTX03
Gaoneng GNB 11.1V 1300mAh 3S 110/220C Lipo Battery

Thanks people

The lipo is too big, a 800 mah is plenty for that set-up

Thanks VV. Also thinking 3 blade 3" props

It's gonna be fast! It's also gonna take some effort to stuff all the components in that tiny frame...lol, but worth the effort

Yeah maybe I should go for a 2S setup

You should be ok with 3-4s, its a light quad, it'll take some crashing

The best tip i got when i was learning to fly was get a couple small lipo's, I'd only get 1 minute of flight time but they help lots in crashes.

As in mAH??

VirtueViolater · Feb 1, 2018

I was flying a 5" and you'd normally use around a 1300 mah lipo but Instead, using a 800 mah made it much lighter

Solly747400 · Feb 2, 2018

Hey what C rating should I be looking for in the 3S 850mAH??

VirtueViolater · Feb 2, 2018

At least 75c

Hi guys,

Personally I like 1407's for 4" and 1104 (or 1106) on 3". To me it seems like the 1306 sits in no-man's land, with all the weight of a 1407 but not all the power.

Good to see ya here Green

So you saying the 1104 will have just as mi h power on the 3" because it's lighter?

VirtueViolater · Feb 3, 2018

I have 1306 3100 kv on my 3" and i love them, decent flight time and lots of grunt
I'm also only running 12 amp esc's

theGreenOrange · Feb 3, 2018

I just like the way a really light 3" flies, as well as how quiet they are. My first 3" was a Tomoquads Predator X with 1104's. I build 3 or 4 more 3" quads (1306 and 1407 based) trying to improve on it but never really succeeded. I am sure this is not true across the entire category, but that's how it worked out for me.

Also, good to see you are still here virtue!

I'm going for 3" 3 blade props. Was thinking going 2 blade, at least for starters and then moving onto 3 blade as I get more confidence

theGreenOrange · Feb 3, 2018

Generally, I find that 3 blade is more stable, easier to control, with good acceleration. 2 blade is more loose feeing, sliding more in the corners with higher top speed.
