Took a video of the copter, its not pretty, i know, only interested in getting this stupid thing figured out. I'm to the point where it seems like 3 of the 4 ESC's are bad, because no matter what motor i hook the 1 good ESC up to, that motor works and the rest don't...

So I looked at the manual for the third time, and googled it, I cant find any information on whether i have to program each ESC individually or not, or how to if i do. I have Hobbyking SS Series 18-20A ESC's, if anybody knows about them, please, let me know

So, I did a bit of troubleshooting, i switched the ESC from m1, which was working, to a different motor, and plugged everything back into where it was supposed to be. When i armed it, the only one that worked was the motor i switched the ESC to! So either I'm doing something wrong, or I got 3...

I dunno, now i kinda want to do the google search...but ah, im already here, might as well post it right? I have determined that no matter what motor channel i plug the m1 (lead) motor into, it works, none of the others work, they all beep really fast when armed.

Ok, i got the board armed BUT, even when armed, the motors beep very rapidly until i give it a bit of throttle, then the only motor that spins in the front motor (that motor turned even when i switched it to M2, from M1). I would like to assume i didn't get 3 bad motors out of 4. Heres a...

I followed a set of instructions i found, it seemed to work, but if you wouldn't mind posting it again I'll preform it one more time

Right after posting this I think I have narrowed down my problems to "Invalid throttle signal" according to the ESC manual. So now i have to figure out why it is getting a bad throttle signal from the transmitter? Still clueless though, that hasn't changed.

Well, I'm posting the exact thing i was hoping i wouldn't have to post at any time during this build. This is my first quadcopter, so bear with me. Got this thing put together, made the frame out of PVC (saving for a decent frame/going to make my own), using a Turnigy 9x rx/tx, kk 5.5 v2 control...

Anybody have a cheaper alternative? Or its it not really going to happen under 150$

Thanks for the replies guys. I should have specified, I'm not looking for HD at all, in fact i could really care less as long as i can generally see whats being taped (the camera footage will be hd when i go replay it, assuming i have it set on hd). I'm just looking for more of a budget friendly...

Hey guys, getting my first quadcopter build going, and would love to run a gopro hd hero 2 with live feed to a laptop (not fpv), and was wondering if anybody knew a budget friendly way to do it. At the moment I am looking to get it done on the cheap, and i understand you get what you pay for...

Hey guys, new to the forums, new to quadcoptering (did i just make up a new word?). Always wanted to fly something, never had the time, money, or technical know how, but now I have the money, still not so sure about the time, but most importantly i feel i have the know how. I am going to be...
