The EzRacer. This quad has been a long time coming. I got into FPV around winter of last year, and I've burned several components and already spent almost $1k on the hobby. It's way more fun than I could have anticipated. In my area, one of my chapter organizers setup a multigp track anyone could show up to and race at, and I decided to check it out. I took my toothpick and flew a few laps. Racing seemed pretty fun and cool, so I decided to build a 5" race quad. This is the result. It's pretty modern, and very light, at 238g dry. A bit heavier than I would have wanted, but still excellent nontheless. I can't wait to take this thing to a race.

Don't worry about the weight, 2207.5 motors aren't the lightest, but the performance you get back is amazing. You can get lower, but with less motor.
Don't change anything until it breaks - running cheap VTX's (and cheap Rx) works just fine, as long as they're on a solid 5V rail.
Where did you put the receiver?
in between the flight controller and ESC
