Update: the TCMMRC motors are garbage. at least a half dozen magnets have come loose in a couple (albeit rough) flights. they are not suitable for a basher, or a newbie rig. if you can be gentle with them who knows. ill be moving on to something reliable.
I pieced this build with some new parts some hand me down parts, so my all in cost is somewhat less than shown.
bought parts:
-frame ($5 from a friend)
-Motors
-ESC/FC stack
-batteries
