    First Quad DIY build considering T4 quadcopter

    Haven't given up yet :) A friend suggested these ESCs: Castle Creations Talon 25-25 Amp Electronic Speed Controller (they make a NO BEC version also, but I think you can also just cut the red wire on the BEC version as needed). These might be a reasonable alternative ESC: 30A RC Brushless...

    First Quad DIY build considering T4 quadcopter

    I've decided to go with the Eagle Tree Vector. I like their manual and community. But I'm having second thoughts about the ESC.... The Eagle Tree Vector manual says "ESC Output... 400Hz". But... What about the NO BEC versus BEC? I'll have more homework to do. What about these ESC...

    I'm still mulling the Eagle Tree Vector and Pixhawk over. The exact motors are: https://www.thanksbuyer.com/3dr-850kv-ac2830-358-brushless-motor-with-new-prop-adapter-for-quadcopter-hexacopter-multicopter-42248

    First Quad DIY build considering T4 quadcopter

    Thanks for the heads up about the 4-in-1 ESC. I kind of got that impression since I didn't see basically any tutorials on matching a 4-in-1 to those FC's. Unfortunately I've already printed the arms versions without slots for ESC's -- I think that's ok, it just means I'll have to tuck the...

    The Naza-M looks great. I noticed in the manual it also had interfaces for tilting a gimbal in 2-axis. What would be the difference between the following components? (I can't put links yet, sorry) [ is basically super expensive because it Ultra Long Range? ] $600 Hex Technology Pixhawk...

    First Quad DIY build considering T4 quadcopter

    Thanks all for the replies! Yes, that is the right T4 imaged above. My daughter has flown some (minis, inside; she can do good landings), but no I don't think I'd put her hands on a larger or more expensive drone just yet. It would just be a build exercise at this stage. Thanks for the E33C...

    First Quad DIY build considering T4 quadcopter

    My daughter is curious to build a quadcopter robust enough to operate outside, and I do have an engineering background so I think I can help her out. We're printing a standard T4 quadcopter from Thingiverse (thingiverse item 261145). Brendan may have moved on from the scene, and the parts list...
