The frame is definitely heavy. As a comparison, the f550 style hex frames are about 155g. Obviously this one has some style to it. But realize you'll be fighting weight. Always!

Do not get that power distribution board. Either solder your own squid or buy one that is better quality - and make sure it's rated for the current that it can handle. I had one of these drop my MR out of the sky when it failed. Lesson learned!

Double check the power capacity for the APM unit as well. The stock ones usually handle less than many people need. There is a 3rd party version that is rated for higher capacity called ATTOpilot.

Would i be ok with that frame for Now? Also what Kind of battery should i get, how many cells, what voltage, what amps?

Unfortunately I can't find any specs for that motor. It also doesn't have a suggestion for prop size it can handle. So I have no idea what the thrust is for that motor, which is what you need to know to determine everything else.

You need to have the motor capable of lifting the full weight of the MR at 50% throttle.

Do some searching for the specs, and report back. Maybe someone has done an independent test???

The motor can handle 3S or 4S batteries. Again, no way to recommend until you get the pertinent info for the motors.

Nikunj,

There's no need to triple post.

See the other thread. We need specifics for your exact motors.

Old Man · May 9, 2015

Not much info about that APM power supply unit other than 10s. Nothing describing the very important current capability. The generally standard versions do between 60 an 90 amps, with 60A being the most common.

Motopreserve · May 9, 2015

The ATTOpilot is good to 180A. Should be sufficient for most craft.

I assuming you meant 90A and 40v?

If so, the motors you linked state 30A Max (x4). You will hopefully never run max amps through the system - but this not something you want crapping out when you're in the air.

There seems to be an affinity for doing all the shopping at Hobbyking, perhaps for the cheapest components. If so I'll suggest expanding horizons and budget to enable doing things right once, instead of trying to correct problems later. It's cheaper and faster.

^^^ +459!!!

Hobby king is great for super cheap stuff. Silicone wire has been decent, connectors, etc. but ultimately, you'll save cash if you do it right the first time. And a TON of aggravation!!!
