So about 2 weeks ago I ran across a cool video of the Storm Racing Drone. The Storm Racing Drone is a full up FPV racing quad that is sold by helipal.com for $379. Which is a good price, but once I tacked on a couple extra batteries and the FPV goggles and shipping($100) my total was about $1000. I thought that was a little much for my first FPV quad.







So I did some research and below is what I plan on buying for my full up system, it'll take a little putting together but I'm sure I can figure it out.

For the frame and most of the basic components I'm going to buy a bundle that includes the following:

MassiveRC Emax 250 Pro Bundle with MT2204 motors -$164.00

-Emax 250 Pro all carbon frame (not carbon\glass mix)

-Massive Acro Flight Control Board

-4 Emax MT2204 motors (2 CW and 2 CCW)

-4 Emax 12 Amp ESCs

-8 M3x5mm nylon standoffs (black while supplies last, otherwise whatever color we have in stock)

-4 M3 8mm screws (black while supplies last, otherwise whatever color we have in stock)

-4 M3 nuts (black while supplies last, otherwise whatever color we have in stock)

-XT60 Power Lead

-Black Power Distribution Board

-Velcro battery strap (for frame kits that don't already include them; our Diatone Kits already come with one)

-12" of heat shrink wrap (6" black, 6" red)

-20 Neon green 4" zip ties

-4 Diatone 5030 props (recommend using these for testing)

For the transmitter and receiver I'm going to get the following:

Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter w/ Module & 8ch Receiver (Mode 2) (v2 Firmware) - $69.97

HobbyKing Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter Link

For the FPV I picked this bundle that includes everything for just $99.

Quanum Complete FPV Bundle Set w/ Goggles, 5.8GHz 32ch Video TX & RX, CP Antennas and Camera (PNF) - $99.99

You're going to need a few batteries for all this stuff to work, thinking about getting 3 or more of these:

ZIPPY Compact 2200mAh 3S 35C Lipo Pack - $17.90

ZIPPY Compact 2200mAh Link

and a Charger to charge those batteries:

IMAX B6-AC Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells (GENUINE) - $44.99

IMAX B6-AC Charger Link

and a couple add ons for the charger

Charge Cable w/ Male XT60 - 4mm Banana plug - $3.23

Charge Cable w/ Male XT60 Link

Hobbyking Parallel charging Board for 6 packs 2~6S (XT-60) - $9.20

Extra Props:

Gemfan 2 Blade Propeller - 5 x 3 (4PCS, CW & CCW) - $3.19 for a set of 4!

Gemfan 2 Blade Propeller - 5 x 3 (4PCS, CW & CCW)

and last of all I'm going to need something to record my flights:

Mobius 1080p HD Action Camera Wide Lens - $78.95

Mobius 1080p HD Action Camera Wide Lens Link

So for the whole system with FPV system, three batteries, three sets of extra props, charger it comes to a grade total of $529.51 plus shipping. There is also a bit of assembly needed for just about everything.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

When it's done I totally want to start racing them like this!
