I did a rebuild of this kwad with a 4" frame: https://rotorbuilds.com/build/25782

Hey Dude, I'm doing a similar build and using the same MAMBA FC stack with the Gecko. I saw in your description you used some sort of rubber standoff grommet to adapt the M3 frame hole to the stack M2. Where could I find these little guys??

Don't worry they come with the FC ;-)

I had to resolder some things recently and got some pictures of how I mounted the stack, I've added them to the pictures above. I cut off a part of the collar of the rubber standoffs so it fits in the M3 holes. I also used M2 rubber grommets on the bottom. Hope this helps :-)
