Absoloute Noob needing advice for esc's motors and props! Please help!

[otisking]

Hi this is my first post and I am a complete newbie to multi rotors,
I am trying to figure out what esc's, motors, props and battery to get for a 450 quad.
What Im thinking is:
Motors: http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbykin..._Motor_short_shaft_version_UK_Warehouse_.html
ESC's: http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbykin...i_rotor_Brushless_ESC_2_4S_UK_Warehouse_.html
Battery: http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8851
Im using the latest KK board from hobby king
Would this be a good setup?
And what props do I need. Going to be lifting a gopro hero 3 so need to account for that.
Its going to be a plug and play 0 soldering set up.
Any advice would be welcome. I have all the other things I need
Thanks in advance.

Hi Otisking, can you let us know what experience you have with flying rc models? If you're a complete noob, then the best advice would be to buy yourself something like a Hubsan or MQX, something you can learn to fly with and crash, without it costing you an arm and a leg to repair.

Owned and flown rc gliders and helicopters but flown my friends DJI Phantom. Not such a noob at flying but a noob at building quads. Thanks for the reply btw!
Can anyone else enlighten me on this subject?

I'm afraid I can't help you with the items you put up. I use the Naza FC and motors etc are geared to that. If you've not already bought the KK FC, look at DJI's E300 propulsion system. All the esc's motors and props come as a "job lot" but I think you would have to use the DJI Naza FC. I'm using the E600 on an upgrade F550 but have just finished building it and not flown it year. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I will have a look at what you have suggested

Well it looks like this forum won't allow a link to ******** so you will have to do it manually. Look at 450 owners group

Sent you a pm. Why does this forum not allow links to other sites? The link was to help someone who did't apper to be getting any help on here.

 

[Langdale]

Sent you another pm.

Hey otisking. If you're a complete noob at building quadcopters I suggest you read up on a few guides first.

Try this for a start: http://quadcopteruniverse.com/pages/introduction-to-selecting-the-right-parts
I think there are a few more articles on that site on motors/escs, may be helpful.
