Although the frame is meant to be junk. I'd probably build my own.

HK UK warehouse has the KK2 board in stock :-)

I'd go for ESCs in the 25-30A range, ones that allow you to change the firmware, as that seems to be the done thing. The DJI kit 30A OPTO ones just come done, but I suspect they are similar to some hobby king units.

From what i've read, you want to get ESCs that can be flashed with SimonK firmware on them.

This gives detailed specs on the HK units: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...BQkZZRlE#gid=0

Also this seems to cover los of details about flashing:

I believe these F-30A ESC's are a really good choice: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=15205
