Murdered Out Tokio X

This FlightClub Tokio X is my 4th quad build and I really like the way it turned out. I decided to go for a blacked out or "murdered out" theme and I think it looks pretty mean. The one-piece injection molded canopy and 4-in-1 ESC make for a super clean look. If you're thinking about building a similar setup, I have two pro tips. 1) Make sure you solder the motor wires in a single line almost on top of each other and parallel (vs. perpendicular) to the left/right sides of the 4-in-1 ESC. If you don't know what I mean, just watch the FlightClub build video. I initially soldered the motors wires coming in to the side of the ESC and then I couldn't fit the canopy over the stack. 2) Run full lipo voltage to the BetaflightF3 FC in addition to the 4-in-1 ESC. I originally powered the FC via the 5V output on the ESC but after passing through the 5V regulator on the FC, there wasn't enough voltage (~3V) to sufficiently power my FPV camera and VTX.
