I bought a Vannystyle 5inch frame and xing2 2306 2555kv motors. Now what Fc and Esc and vtx do I get for analog version 4s battery?

Sounds awesome. those are some seriously high KV motors, so you'll want to match that with a high amp ESC to keep from blowing it. I'd say 50a minimum to give it good overhead. My top choices on that would be the Foxeer series Stack, T motor stack, or Iflight Succex stack.

#

As for the VTX, 800mw is right about the sweet spot for Freestyle. The best 2 on the market are the Rush Tank Mini, and the TBS Unity Evo (not the race)

Yea @ripe drum has the right idea. Those motors will pull about 50A and 100%. They'll unload pretty quickly, but you still want an ESC that can support it. SpeedyBee F405 V3 is a good stack on paper (I can't personally vouch for it since I haven't used it) for a good price that will be able to do everything you need.

I just bought the The SpeedyBee V3 F722 3-6S 30x30 Stack/Combo (F722 FC / 50A 32bit 4in1 ESC) and RUSHFPV Tank II Ultimate 30x30 25-800mW 5.8GHz VTX - MMCX. So next I will look for a camera, maybe GPS. I want to save as much weight as I can. Thanks for the help. Happy flying.

If you're into saving weight then a gps is not worth it. As for a camera I believe the foxeer cat and toothless models are top notch depending on what size you need

ok Thanks. I want to stay at a 4s battery, and since I'm kinda old... a good camera will help me see better. i need 3D printed arm and motor pads. Also I need antenna 3D printed mounts for elrs and sma antenna right? Where to find?

If you have a 3d printer, things are easy enough. if you want to order them, Vanover linked this place on his build video of that frame. https://www.brain3d.co/products/vannystyle-freestyle-accessory-kit?_pos=4&_sid=835bc5081&_ss=r&variant=39944735752279

I'm a huge fan of the Foxeer Cat 3, as it's the best analog low light camera out there. It works well after sunset. With a lens change, it works well at 2am with no moon, but most people will probably be sticking to flying at dawn or dusk with it. Great to have with winter coming.
