    Where do you buy your parts?

    Don't know how the rest of you go about buying parts for your drone projects, but I'm getting dizzy bouncing from one site to the next. Do any of you have a "one place for everyting" online shop? What I'm looking for is servo wires/cables. I'd like to have 2, 3 and 4 pin cables that have 2, 3...

    ESC and motor wiring -- curious

    OK. So I'm confused about something. I watched a video on YT from a couple of years ago. It was about building a 250 quad.

    FKS 250 with CC3D FC

    This may be the wrong place, but any help will be greatly appreciated. I took the plunge and bought a preassembled 250 racer from Amazon. The FKS 250 with CC3D and the Flysky FS-i6 radio and its companion receiver. Of course there were no instructions included so I'm at a standstill at the...

    LiPo battery charging and the USB provided charger

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong place, please move it. My subject is kind of broad. Here's my situation; My Syma X5C-1 USB battery charger seems to be failing. In the beginning, about 15 or 20 charges ago, it would charge the battery and shut off the LED to indicate it was done. Now, the past...

    RC Connectors and where are they?

    Hello everyone. New addict to quadcopter mania here! My first purchase was a Syma X5C-1 and I'm loving it. Fairly easy to learn control over the "beast" and really quite durable. My second purchase, a week later, was a Sky Viper 950HD from Walmart. Snappy bugger and very responsive. I've kinda...
