Which motors, propellers and ESC's combos should I get from Hobby king if Im going to get this Micro frame?
http://www.blueskyrc...&products_id=30

I will be using 2-3 cell lipos and small fpv camera from hobby king.

this is the basic 10g motor but they are sold out right now

http://www.hobbyking...?idproduct=5358

here is the Turnigy version and they are in stock

Im thinking of using 4-5" propellers with this micro frame, do you think If I use 2cell lipo (2200mah) it will be to heavy if I will use this Turnigy 1811 Brushless Motor 2000kv?

2200 is a pretty big lipo for a non quad, plus if your planning to use FPV gear on it as well unless you go with the mini 5.8 fpv gear.

I bought the props here

and I use a 850mah 2 cell LIPO

Just got my new motors (A1510 -KV2200) and they look nice. Below is a picture with the HK 18-11 2000.

The difference in weight is only 6 grams. The HK 18-11 are problematic where the motor mounts could easily come loose and the hex keys could eventually strip after a crash or adjustments.

The other picture is my home made frame, 180g total weight. I have crashed a few times and broken several props.

Just need to make several more tuning adjustments, but it fly.

This gonna be tricky finding a lightweight motor but lots of thrust. Thanks for that link. Lots of cheap stuff for quads.

I'm waiting for my A1510s, I was curious how much they actually weigh.  6g more isn't too bad for a more substantial motor.  The sales stuff said 26g but I figured that was probably for shipping calculations.  Maybe I'll remove the RX case and pins like c2Po did.

for what its worth you can now buy the foam body of the ardrone for 41$ CAD:

I really like this quad. I have a very similar configuration as the first person in this thread. The main difference is the props and the esc. I have ordered in some 3 bladed but am still running the cheap HobbyKing 2 bladed, just takes time to balance them. Also I am running the Turnigy instead.

The biggest issue has been the motors not all of the motors produce equal power. I have ordered in 4 more motors and am going to try them.

Looks nice, thanks for sharing!
Yeah, those motors are not the of best quality for sure...

Another question, has anyone ran a micro on 3s?

You're kidding, right?
I'm using 2200mAh on a Gaui 330X and still think it's heavy for it, but on a mini quad... the whole quad weighs less than this battery.

It would depend on the motors - kv and max amps.
With those that most people use the rpm will be too high and you would need much smaller props, I guess maybe something like 4 x 2.5 or even less.
Don't know if that would make sense, 2S seems to be a perfect fit so far.

Yes, that 26g listed on the site looks suspicious for such a small motor.

So it looks like they are around 16g? Not bad, thanks.

Gotcha, Im just being lazy since I screwed up and bought a 1000mAh 3S for my nanos, when I should have bought 2S, No biggie, thanks!

Well, it seems overkill for a mini. Im thinking to use my old 2S lipo thats why If only I could find a higher thrust motors but less weight. I might have to use lesser mAH lipo if the 2S 2200 are too heavy.

[flitelab]

I think it would be easier to use a smaller lipo.  It is going to be hard to get the thrust of a large quad on a nano size setup where weight becomes a critical issue.

Why would you want a higher thrust? Even with those motors it should be around three times more than a quad weight (well, that is if you try to keep the weight down, not up... )

AlPackin,
C2PO,


The (A1510 -KV2200) I received have the correct prop mounts for the GWS 3x5 props. No need to drill the props holes to 4mm.

This was stated in a different thread.
