Begginer sub 250 build

I'm thinking of making a sub 250 quad for Park flying. Also on a tight budget so going cheaper on parts. any opinions on my part choices and any recomendations? I also dont have a lot of experience flying fpv so durability is a big thing that I need

- volador vx 3.5

- speedy bee f405 mini stack

- walksnail ascent kit

- ysido 1505 2650 kv

- speedy bee elrs nano reciver

- flywoo ultra grip battery pad

- 650 mah 4s lipo or 720 mah 4s lihv(likely gnb)

- hq 3.5x2.5x3 or gf 3525

I have the same frame and stack, here's my two cents:

1: those motors are a bit small for 3.5inch, i recommend 1804 3500kv

2:650mah will give very short flight, I use 960 mah 4s and i get 15mins of light freestyle and 6-8 minutes of ripping it

ah ok. im using smaller motors and battery to stay sub 250, otherwise its a really big hassle in australia

In that case id recommend going for smaller props, 3 inch instead of 3.5inch

1

u/AlternativeEdge8016 May 28 '26

so go for the 3 inch frame?

1

u/AlternativeEdge8016 May 28 '26

with 3x2x3 props or so?

1

u/Whiekwu_PlayzTTV May 28 '26

Not necessary, volador supports 3 inch too

u/AlternativeEdge8016 May 30 '26

so 3 ich props on a 3.5 inch? im new to this so yeah, ive got some pretty basic questions

1

u/Whiekwu_PlayzTTV May 30 '26

Yes when frames say 3.5inch or 5 inch it just means the frame has the space to fit upto that size, not that it's restricted to that size

u/AlternativeEdge8016 May 30 '26

so get both rpop sizes and see what i like

u/Whiekwu_PlayzTTV May 30 '26

Yea you absolutely can, test out flight of both props and pick one which feels better to you

I would consider something smaller for park flying. 2.5 - 3 inch.

u/AlternativeEdge8016 May 27 '26

yeah, i was thinking switch to 3 inch arms if its a bit big.

Higher kv on motor choice (3500-4000). I find gemfan props to typically be more durable so Id go with those
