Marmotte 2208 DJI/HD

Been flying for a couple of months and this is my first build. It's probably a little too powerful for where I'm flying but it is fun! On my second pack, I destroyed a prop and balancing wires on my battery so that sucked.

Issues:

  • Anyone have any ideas where I can run the pigtail off the ESC? It won't fit below or above the air unit as I had originally planned :/
  • Stack screws are either too short or too long. See the washers at the bottom...
  • I spent an hour trying to get the battery leads to solder onto the ESC properly. I just couldn't get it hot enough because the compenents were sucking up all the heat. Anyone have any suggestions? I assume a nicer soldering iron would help but maybe I'm missing something basic.

nice and simple! dont trash the battery you cut the balance lead too, theyre pretty easy to fix. a friend of mine ran his battery lead out the back. im pretty sure its over the air unit but next time i see his quad ill take note and send you a pic.

I've not built this frame out, but a cool thing I see is: running the battery lead out the gap between the top plate and the camera housing. It probably requires that you re-do the cabling from the ESC to the FC, or re-assign motors using CLI commands. I haven't tried that in person, so I don't know for sure if it's as good as it looks.

yes, ooghee pointed out that i can rotate the esc and leave the fc pointing forward. not sure why i didn't think about that sooner :/ i'll post pictures ones updated!
