Every time I think i've made a decision - something comes along and makes me reconsider.

Eg.

The ESC's that Col bought have lots of posts about them burning out - putting out 11v on the BEC and frying controllers / motors etc. Also stuff I have read says many ESC's are for fixed wing and not Quad's which causes them to fail.

There's not an obvious ESC choice and this SimonK stuff just makes it more complicated

Too much choice of motors, and how to match motors to props etc is confusing.

So....

I thought i'd decided to buy this:

Then buy a KK board / Turnigy TX set & lipo's from hobbyking. At least doing it this way I know the ESC / Motors / Props will work well together and spares are available easily in the UK.


Then I saw this - found it from looking at a seller on ebay selling them for £130, but obviously I could just buy it direct - http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo...6&productname=

Very tempting - what should I do guys !?

Also, what do I do re the BEC with the speedo's - with the DJI kit I need to add an external one, but what do you do if all 4 (other brand) ESC's are pumping 5V to the receiver !
find best price for dji phantom, click buy now, assemble and fly - job done

no more will i wont i lol
