When reading these motors specifics on RCTimer page I didn't give them much credit for all those impressive specifications they describe. But on the video they really sound super smooth!

SOOO many wires to solder! there IS a fy680 under there somewhere!!!!

Is there a FY680 underneath that wiring chaos?

Wow! How are you going to power your ESC's? Power distribution board?

And they are super cheap too!

Even their 40A ESC is way below $20,- and I love the idea that the female bullet connectors is directly integrated in the ESC itself.

Could I please ask one of the FY680 owners to measure the length of the arms? I want to make sure that the 40cm wires of the RCtimer motor are long enough to reach the ESC with integrated bullet connectors.

no power board, but have a 'ring' supply soldered to each esc, no bullet connects on this one!

Thanks man!

Could I ask you to do me one more favour?
Could I ask you to check if 40cm motor wires would be enough to "reach" ESC's without wires but with "integrated" bullet connectors like this one?

... or would it be a safer bet to go for the "traditional" ESC's with wires?

Looking forward to see your bird with "the hair combed".

Thanks again

FY680 & YS-X4 maiden.
Hover only today. I will check all connector and screws and parts after the first fly for safety.

Looks pretty good!

Looks sweet mate!! Good work!

OK so all wired up!, borrowed crius se out of my x525 re-flashed for hex not even into hover and bang straight over on its left side= bent shaft in brand new motor.
I knew it could not be vibration as I had spent 45 mins balancing all 6 motors then all 6 props........left and right motor leads in crius wrong way around!!!!!!. Nick motor outer casing off old quad fitted perfectly on to stator...bingo had 2 flights in dark and windy conditions now off to Sainsburys carpark for last test flight!! even in the wid it flys sooo nice.
Video soon

Oh mate bumpy start... But you got it sorted!! Good lad..

I love the fact that there is a few of us just finishing our builds at the same time.

They are super stable I just wish we had better weather!! Post video and finish picks when you can I'd love to see..

I've completed a few fpv flights with mine the last few days.. It's been bang on.. Can't recommend them enough!!

Wow! Congrats boys!
I'm so jealous!
Still waiting the missing screws and clamp that will only arrive sometime in 2013....

What type of motors, props, batt you use?
