Old frame, new parts

[rtkDarling]

Finally pulled the trigger on my next build. Likely my last build for a little while. I'm finally getting a feel for exactly what it is that I want out of my birds. If this goes the way I think it will, this is pretty much my personal formula from here on out

Six inch Hyperlight Flosstyle Frame
Piro 2408.5 @ 1922kv
Xrotor 60 amp 4in1
Talon f7 fusion
Akk Infinite (1 watt)
R-xsr
TBS triumph
Caddx Ratel
Hellgate buzzer
CNHL 1500 mah 5s (120c)
HQ 6x4x3

Before you ask, yes, this rig can carry a small dog

Do you guys know what kinda of Paracord people use to wrap motor wires?
Not sure the weight/gauge I would need. I want to make this one clean enough to be proud of


[Edit] looks like 550 is what I'm looking for?

 

[HighTechPauper]

Two things buddy, beware that XRotor ESC, many have had trouble with them, not sure what is more reliable but I would look at Spedix if this one gives you trouble.

On Braided Sleeving (Paracord), I get all that stuff including shrink tubing from WireCare.com
Here is their offerings and I don't think you need to worry about weight/gauge so much, just that it is big enough to fit the wires through.

I'll keep that in mind about the esc. You kinda never know with those, i was drawn to the amp rating...

 

[HighTechPauper]

I think people have been having great luck with the Spedix GS45 and the Racerstar Metal 60a believe it or not. I think the amp rating on ESC's is getting to be a bit like C ratings on batteries IYKWIM

I don't use paracord, I get this nylon mesh from RDQ. Can be a little tricky to work with but comes in lotsa cool colors

Not as pretty ad i had hoped yet, but ready for a test flight

 

[RENOV8R]

Looks good to me! Just too bad those white parts aren't blue

 

[rtkDarling]

Got the first few test flights in this morning, what an animal. Just power on tap, power for days. Lots of prop wash, and i have to review the footage for vibration, but I'm hopeful!
