When you’re just starting in the multirotor hobby, the number of choices and options for equipment can be daunting. What should you buy? What’s necessary, and what can you live without? In this article, we’ll provide an overview of multirotor gear to help you make informed decisions about what to purchase for your first quadcopter build.
The frame is the skeleton of your multirotor, and it’s one of the most important choices you’ll make. The size and shape of the frame will determine how large and heavy your multirotor can be, as well as how much thrust it can generate from its motors. If you’re just getting started, we recommend a small frame like the ZMR250.
Motors are what give your multirotor lift and propulsion. The size and power of the motors you choose will determine how fast and agile your multirotor can be. If you’re just getting started, we recommend choosing small motors like the Emax RS220A.
ESCs are responsible for controlling the speed of your motors. They convert the signal from your flight controller into a form that the motors can understand, and they also provide power to the motors. If you’re just getting started, we recommend choosing small ESCs like the Hobbyking 12A ESC.
Propellers are what give your multirotor thrust. The size and pitch of the propellers you choose will determine how much thrust your multirotor can generate. If you’re just getting started, we recommend choosing small propellers like the Emax ES08A.
Now that you know the basics of multirotor gear, you’re ready to start shopping for your own!
