New to building need help

[Kilyan265]

Hello,

I have flown tiny whoops in the past but I've decided to go it 5" drones. I have done lots of research and I believe I have come up with a set of components that will work. The main reason I am writing this thread is:

1. Ensuring that the components that I chose are good choices for the drone I'm building (Performance and monetarily).
2. Making sure that I have not chosen incompatible parts in my build.

I am particularly concerned about the following:

1. The included PDB and whether or not it will work with the other components
2. The ESC and whether it is too much for what I need.


Motor Data: MQTB
Using the GemFan 5x4.5HBN


I attached a poll, however, I prefer any help you can give me in replies far more.

I also need some help building.

I think it will fly. 40A may be more than you need for ESC. If you wanted to simplify you could go with an AIO stack (I am familiar with Magnum AIO but there are others) and includes F4, 4in1 ESC, PDB, VTX, Receiver, all for ~$120. Pro tip - if you want it anytime soon, order from dealer in US. RDQ in Florida earned special mention from me.

Thanks for helping, I have decided to go with 2400kv motors rather than the 2750kv motors. Now I believe that 40a may be too much. I did not realize that GetFPV was not located in the US, so thank you again for recommending RDQ.

??GetFPV is located in Sarasota Florida.

Most of my components are from GetFPV so I guess he was referring to the one or two product from BG. Thanks again.

If you're going to use the X-Rotor 4-in-1 ESC, I'd suggest you go with the X-Rotor F4 flight controller. these are plug and play and will make your build a whole lot easier and cleaner.

I would def recommend that you use 23-2400kv motors for a first build as they are much easier to learn on. Higher kv motors are great for large wide open flight zones and take a second or two to wind up meaning they have a slower response than lower kv ones. Basically, higher kv motors are for drag racing and lower for proximity
