UPDATES TO THE KIT: Make sure your annotations are on for updates to the build as components will change over time.
For the new motors and ESCs now shipping with the kits, please watch this video as some steps have changed
Get your mini quadcopter kit at
and build along.
In this video I show you how to build a mini quadcopter from start to maiden flight. Lot’s of terrible editing, bad angles, but nonetheless, a solid resource you need when building your own FPV Racing Mini Quadcopter.

Time Stamps to come.
In this video I show you how to build a mini quadcopter from start to
maiden flight. Complete with lots of bad editing, angles, and probably
misinformation. Enjoy.
+Zachary Moore Yeah, thanks very much for this vid!! ! am glad I had not
started yet on my own. Many things i would have done wrong, and i have only
seen the first half. The Naze32 programming is what intimidates me, the
building is no problem. I am thinking of trying the KK2 board first to
maybe get some experience for the Naze32. Still don’t know which one to try
first??
Cool of you to take the time to put this together. Im sure it will be
helpful for people. Cant wait for the vortex!
+( ͡° ͜ʖ͡°) Zevi Rubin It was definitely worth the effort!

This took so long to film and so long to edit. I think I will make a more
simplified version soon and in a more professional settings. I can’t wait
either, I’ll be saving one for myself. I’ll let you know when they are on
the way!
Question i got the same quad what escs and motors can i get my escs get hot
and fry the motors and and escs i dont have a power board i got mine hard
wired please help me out thanks bro im new with this hobby so let me no u
can email me at bissonnette6969@gmail.com if u need to talk or let me no
thanks for ur time
Great vid Zach it helped a lot but I have one question. With you updating
the website were do you find the settings to copy into the CLI?
Where are the Naze32 settings?
How much does the kit cost ? It is sold out on your website
You’d have to check their website. I wouldn’t know.
+andguent Can I order from Thailand?
+Alec Parkin $170-$204 depending on motors & accessories. The $204 version
appears to be in stock now.
Which radio are you using in this video
+Eety Weety Turnigy 9x of some sort (9xr/9xrpro).
noticed you used the power from a seperate ubec to power the flight
controller but you also had power comming off the esc’s as well. i’m
confusued, do you even need to use the seperate ubec if the esc’s have one
built in? and if each esc has a ubec than could you just use the power from
one to power the flight controller or do you need all four plus a seperate
ubec?
+Zachary Moore thanks Zachary makes sense
+Michael Marques These ESCs are Opto, so no power comes from them. I can
see how that would be confusing seeing that the leads have a red wire, it’s
not actually providing any power.
thanks for the video. I did one of the nighthawk 250 with couple extra tips
and tricks.
Great video Zach. I picked up some great tips and looking forward to
building one of these.
what does the BEC do? what is it supposed to do, what is the function of
it?
+Maurits Veerman It powers the flight controller
Aye I’m in the process build a 230mm quad. What does ubec you install do?
+FobFilm Powers the flight controller
Hello! I am from Thailand. How much it cost?
Where can I buy it?
Thank you :)
So…clicking the link from miniquadbros results in a page that tries to
install spyware/viruses. Major spam website attack….it goes to
“mediafire” and then when you try to DL it goes nuts with spyware.
+Zachary Moore Why don’t you simply put the text file on your site?
+Zachary Moore lol yeah the 9x is good for staying under the wife-dar cost
wise 🙂 thanks for the video…my beast is at least flying.
Yeah, media fire is full of spam, I will relocate the text file somewhere
safer. I was only able to get one switch on my old t9x working, anything
else I needed (buzzer) had to go on a pot. I use the Taranis now and it’s
worth its weight in gold.
+Zachary Moore It was less-bad trying to click “view” but it keeps going to
any number of random advert. sites. Eventually clicking download got the
txt file after exiting a number of ad pages. It’s weird.
Any videos showing the channel setup to mode swap? My aux switches don’t do
jack on my 9x. Stuck in horizon mode 🙁 lol
+Stephen Horn
It should take you to Mediafire and you do not need to download the file if
you don’t want. You can just view the text and copy from there.
awesome video man. starting my first quad build, was concerned how to do
the power dist. board, but you answered all my question ! thanks !
