Trashy 2" Build

For my 3rd build I decided to go with a 2" Micro quad for a winter setup and indoor flying.

Originally I wanted to get a Caddx Turtle V2 with on board DVR to record some of the flight footage, but decided against it since I wasn't sure if I would have enough vertical room in the frame.

Now for the juicy stuff:

Parts List

Frame - iFlight iX2 2" Micro

I went with the iFlight iX2 2" Micro because it was one of the smaller, and cheaper options I could find. I haven't seen many builds (maybe just one) on rotorbuilds using this frame, so I decided to give it a shot. I've also seen the quality of the iFlight frames first hand, and think it was a good value for $16 bucks.

FC - iFlight SucceX Micro F4 V1.5

When it came to choosing a FC, I wanted something that was cheap and provided me with as little guesswork as possible, fortunately iFlight offers this SucceX Micro stack that has everything I need: Flight Controller, 4-1 ESC, and VTx! After doing some research I decided that the 12A ESC's should definitely suffice for the 1105 motors I plan on using, I might be pushing it with the quad blade props though, but I won't know till I try it out.

Motors - iFlight XING Nano X1105 4500Kv

I was skeptical with going with the XING motors, since I can't really find any information regarding the max current draw (Amps). But after comparing it to motors of similar size, and watching some videos on their max current (Amps) with different prop setups, I am estimating these things to pull around 8 Amps WOT (Wide Open Throttle) with the 2035 Quad Blade props that I chose. Coupled with the 12A ESC's I should have enough power delivery for this setup. The videos also shows a max thrust of 222g for each of these motors (888g total), and with my all up weight of around 136g, I am calculating a power to weight ratio of 6.5:1. (Here's a link to EngineerX's video)

**FPV Camera - Foxeer Arrow Micro Pro 600TVL CCD (2.1mm) (Blue)

Like I mentioned before I originally wanted to mount a Caddx Turtle V2 into this frame, but wasn't sure about the size limitations of the frame. But Foxeer so far has impressed me with their FPV cameras, and plus it comes in blue, which matches the black and blue theme I am going for.

FPV Antenna - Foxeer Lollipop V3 5.8GHz U.FL (Black)

A U.FL Foxeer Lollipop in black, since I really couldn't find it in blue. I also like the finish and quality on these little guys.

Props - Gemfan 2035BN Quad-Blade 2" (Blue)

Blue Gemfan 2035's in a quad prop setup to further accentuate the black and blue theme, plus I have nothing but good things to say about Gemfan and their durability so far!

Batteries - Tattu 14.8V 4S 450mAh 75C

These Tattu 4S 450mAH were on sale for $10 dollars a piece, so I went ahead and ordered 4 of them, which is insane considering the price of one 1500mAH battery of the same price. They are also high discharge 75C, with a max burst of 150C. These should pack more punch than I need!

Receiver - Spektrum SPM4648

I am still stuck with a Dx6 Spektrum receiver for now, so I went with the lowest priced DSMX Quad serial receiver with diversity I could find. I always stick with the name brand receivers to dismiss any potential issues that are often found in the lower budget Lemon and Orange RX receivers with the same functionality.
