Community check before buying my mwc quad?

Post by acemtp »

Hello,

I think I'm almost ready to buy parts but before that, I would like to know if you see some mistake/error/missing part in my list.

Thank you!

a little more 'C' in your lipo, better efficiency, more lifetime, etc... 35C/40C

summary (in my opinion, feel free to change/investigate)

- Battery: more 'C', like 35C/40C, and buy 2 or 3 (first flight, you dont handle throttle and attitude very well, so many up-down-up-down-up, draw current quickly, 4/5min flight, and wait for charge bat again.... very frustrating ^_^
- Motor: 2212/13 or 2830/11, i've the same questioning too, broke some motor since MWC can't get through wall... nice futur feature to implement ^_^ .I'll take 2830, same weight, almost same KV (930/1000) but more "watt" efficiency, so ability to carry more extra weight/torque/etc... (larger bat, aggresive flight or fpv gear)
- Propeller: Buy at least 12 pair (24) pack ^_^
- Frame: the x525 is cool (got one) , like a "bat-a-rang"once folded ^_^ but, CF motor mount, spring and landing CF are "weak" and broke easily during bad landing, several rip, shock, so be carefull with that
- TX: the flysky ct6 is a dead end...., buy something more "computerised" with lcd, pot/switch, profile/modele memory, real curve/expo/dual rate, especialy with MWC aux and different kind of flying. The first Tx i bought was a fs-ct6 and, 2month later, i bought a 9x, 3year and i've still this TX (now, just change module to frsky for range/telemetry/fpv). IF YOU HAVE SOME DEV/ELECTRONICS SKILLS (really) take a look at a 9x and er9x firmware (same price range as fs-ct6b, branded in turnigy/imax/flysky/eurgle), or look at an already flashed/"boarded" 9x (more expensive, but still interesting) or more "traditionnal/expensive tx, which are great to, like DX,JR,Futaba)

Okay, I hear you clear and loud. Thank you for your feedback.

I'll definitively take a battery with 35/40 and take at least 2. take more propeller. I'll look for the 2830 motors.

For the TX, I looked at 9x but it's unavailable on HK and on ebay it's at least $110 that is 2 times expensive than the ct6. Do you have somewhere to buy it for the same price range than ct6?
