i am using the same stack and reciever for my 1st build, can anyone help me out on how to connect those two ?

RZFPV May 13, 2020

i would go with 2306 motors

RZFPV May 13, 2020

i would also recommend getting a qx7 as it is only 30$ more and getting a micro fpv cam not a nano

droney May 13, 2020

the 2306's i can find have a burst current of 50A and my esc handles 40A

00jferna Jun 02, 2020

The F40 can handle 50A for shorts periods (10s)

00jferna May 16, 2020

Looks like a solid build, but i would change a few things. These changes would still be a great setup, but also would save a few bucks for batteries, antennas, replacement arms, etc...

My suggestions:
tbs source one frame
Foxeer Razer fpv cam
Fullspeed TX600 vtx
Frsky XM+ (or R-XSR)
BetaFPV LiteRadio 2 (Frsky version)

But, end of the day, it's your build. Enjoy it, it'll be challenging, but once you're in the air, it'll be all worth it. Good luck!

I would look around for another recviever...that micro recieved might not give the range you want...flysky makes some good full range options...good luck with your build...

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
