My first build. I tried to keep everything green and black. Flight controller and motors are soft mounted with o-rings. Replaced the stock pointed motor screws with M3 locking motor screws. I also added a buzzer and a capacitor to the power lead on the PDB. I'm currently running Betaflight 3.1 with Dshot 600.

Nice job keeping the price down. Are those motors no longer available? The link takes me to a 404 page.

Keeping the price down was one of my goals with this build. I feel like I got a lot of bang for my buck. Those motors are no longer available anymore and I don't know why. I guess if I kill a motor I'm going to have to replace then all.
