Opinions on build list

[weary igloo]

Looking for opinions for my first build. I'm located in Canada.

Other things

Not sure about charger

[stark flame]

Hota D6 Pro is good charger

Full stack is pointless on this drone. save weight and space with an AIO. you don't need 40A. 25a would be overkill, but 35a AIO are easier to find
1404 are too small for a freestyle 3.5". Botgrinder used 1605 on the prototype. anything from 1604 to 1804 would work. 3400kv. I'm planning 1804 3450kv RCInpower motors for my build.
Some people love RUNCAM PHOENIX 2 for cult like reasons, but a 14x14 camera would be a better match for a small quad. Caddx Ratel, Foxeer TRex nanos are some better camera options.

Alright thanks for the opinions

Anything else I should be aware of

And 1604-1804 3400kv for motors, right?

[little coral]

Yep. RCINpower would be my top pick. The Umagawd motors Bot used have a weird shaft size so prop choice would be more limited. But those 1605 are about the same volume as 1804

people have dropped 2004 in this frame, though that's a bit overkill

[gilded hare]

Get a hota d6 pro for xhargee

[weary igloo]

How are these motors

[little coral]

Both good pics!

[weary igloo]

Awesome thanks

Any other frames I should take a look at

The one I picked is out of stock

https://rotorvillage.ca/ummagawd-botgrinder-grinderino-3-5-micro-frame-kit/
https://rotorvillage.ca/impulserc-micro-apex-freestyle-frame-3/

Any of those

Current weight without a frame is 166.7g

Aiming for a sub250 obviously

[little coral]

Grinderino would be 1st choice. I wouldn't fly the other 2. as another choice but a slightly different style, there's this thing. https://www.cncdrones.com/carnage.html

[weary igloo]

That frame's quite a steal

[little coral]

carniage is a single bottom plate, but a lot less weight. I fly the 3" version, and it's been a solid frame

[weary igloo]

But the motor size is 1505

Recommended motor sizes 1404, 1504.5, 1505

[little coral]

it's a lighter weight build, though 1404 would be too small still. 1505 would be the minimum i'd recomend for a 3.5" unless you were going for an ultralight.

[weary igloo]

I see

[little coral]

I think another member here built his with 1804s.

[weary igloo]

So the 1804s would be fine

[little coral]

the only caviat with that frame is there is no 3d printed parts, you have to print or get them printed elsewhere.

[weary igloo]

I see

Do you know the weights of the v1/v2 carnage cuz the website doesn't say

Or like an approximation

@little coral

[little coral]

I don't remember, i think the carbon was 17 grams on mine, plus all the standoffs and screws. Probably 30 grams, give or take?
