Hi, I usually fly a phantom 3, but I'm looking to get into fpv drone racing as it looks awesome. Unfortunately, I know very little about it. I was wondering if any of you guys could suggest a good beginners setup for around £400 (has to include everything you need to start flying, batteries/ goggles etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

Welcome captain Austin, I am new myself but can pass on what little I know. I got into this whole drone racing thing while I was saving to buy my Phantom (that I don't have yet). Anyway, I went with the ViFly R220 and was able to get everything for about $466. There are many other options and someone will be jumping in any minute now.
Thanks Mersin, had a quick look before I go to school and it looks really good, thanks

Hi, that ViFly seems pretty good. Also check out this one below and the EV800 goggles.

Ditto on the Eachine Wizard x220. Pic in my avatar. Best FPV Racer 2016. Check out review on the YouTube:
Each one also looks great thanks, does anyone know the range on racing drones such as the eachine and vifly, as I said; I'm completely new and don't have a clue. Also I looked online and couldn't find any range details anywhere for he Vifly

The i6 radio is probably good for about a half mile or so. In 500mW mode on the VTX, you are probably looking at about a mile. Those are ballpark numbers if you have line of sight to the drone and ideal conditions.
