Hello friends,
I have decided to built a racing quad,
But the problem is that I am totally new to flying RCs.
But I have a lot of experience with land RCs like traxxas Tmaxx,etc.
So I am looking for help in this field.
I have gathered some knowledge on quad building like
A frame
motors
esc
Flight control,
Props
Battery
Transmitter and reciever
Please tell me other required things to built a decent quad.
Thanks

I think you have all the parts needed to build except some propellers(check quadkopters.com).  Also you will need building tools like soldering iron, solder, screw drivers and Hex drivers etc.
Also check out a video of 'UAV futures' it is a drone channel, check his video- how to build racing drone under 99$.  He used similar parts which you have bought. It will help in the build process.

I have got a problem.
It would take a lot of time to reach here by aliexpress, so I request if there is any member who can give me the links of these products available in India.
I would be very thankful.

Got a flysky i6 transmitter and reciever.
:help: Now I need a battery.
Please suggest me batteries for this build, the final weight
( without battery ) would be 297 grams,
Please suggest me a battery for this quad.

So from where did you order the parts ?
As far as battery is concerned you might want to go with anywhere between 1300mah to 1800mah at least 40C

Zaz02

I ordered all the parts from Aliexpress.
Can I use a 2200 mah 55c battery for it?
Because by my calculation I need battery which produces more than 88 amps of current.
So this is the only battery I am currently getting.

That will be more than enough. But it might be quite heavy for this size quad
Lighter battery will give you nice performance

Zaz02

The problem is am not able to get a battery which is less than 2000mah and greater than 40C
Then only I will be able to balance the current.

Looking awesome. (did you change the props? also let us know from >to)

swapnilnimbalkar

Also camera angle seems to be incorrect, it should be at least 30° up.

Zaz02

How I mount the camera 30 degree up ?
There is no chance of adjustment.

there should be a plate to mount camera which comes along with the frame.

Deeshank

or u could stick a form below the camera .. make a wedge at 30 degrees :) also place it a bit inside the quad body to avoid the lens getting damages in a crash ( which you will ) :)
