xt60 connectors

Sent from a potato using a lamp

Some thin ply to mount motors to foam fuse

Velcro to attach the battery, esc etc. And zip ties of many different sizes(these are indispensable.

You can also consider wood or carbon spur, 5 Min Epoxy, some colored Tapes, Sand Papers, Favicol Decoration Glue, Glass Fibre tape or simple transperent tapes to secure edges of foam etc.

Also some Fibre tape for reinforcing very useful  
And some linkage stoppers for servo arm to pushrods connection, not a necessity but its great to have them  

prop savers....... can be used for different purposes like wheel mounting.... extending servo rods etc.

Got it boss
thank you

xt60s are connectors between the esc and battery.. better than T-connectors IMHO
