I see too many pilots flying miniquads they built as kits from aliexpress, eBay and some other weird places to buy miniquads from. Their miniquads are more prone to breaking because of a bad choice for a frame, cheap motors and ESCs with low performance and etc…! This Miniquad Parts List is here to battle all those crappy kits and save the newbies some money…
The end result will be a good, 210 size, miniquad that is built to last, both as a beginner and while gaining more skills flying. This miniquad parts list is not meant to help you build the cheapest miniquad! I hate seeing people buying cheap stuff just cause it’s cheap. It will not build you the VERY BEST miniquad, either!
To keep it simple, there will not be different options for every part (Goggles will, because there’s a wide price range and not everyone wants to start with 550$ goggles!). This will make it more straight forward for a person that has never built a miniquad in the past.
This post will not go through the building process, nor will it explain in detail what each part is for.
