Hello everyone. So I got really interested in FPV racing drones, never had a chance to fly yet. I want to build my first drone, and later maybe buy parts in bulk and try to sell some fpv racing drones in my country and
make it more popular there. But I'm not really sure what parts should I pick as a beginner, but I would like something decent and not so expensive.

Here is the list of current parts that I'm thinking to get. Since I want later try to buy in bulks, I chose alibaba for parts searching. Can you tell me if I could get something better or cheaper around those prices.
And does this look like a decent drone? I'm looking to build a 5 inch drone, going to buy carbon fibre or 3d print a frame myself for tests.

I haven't found these yet at alibaba.
Propellers, Batteries, FPV Goggles, Video Transmitter + Camera

Thanks everyone for help, I'm totally new at this stuff.

From one noob to another.

Even though some sites will be cheaper, steer clear of the China-based companies for quality issues and shipping times. Go with vetted companies such as GetFPV, BuddyRC, Ready Made RC or others mentioned throughout the site. I have learned from many mistakes in this dept.

Also, read up on forums, watch videos and check out reviews where you can from those who have been in the hobby for a while. it helps reduce making poor purchases and finding out later it wasn't what it seemed.
