Thanks for the replies gents, its a long fun road to run down. The fact that there is a "I really need this working now" option makes it all the better. The fact that the default response is the kit is testament to the fact that it is bind and drive and that its solid. Having a backup plan...

lol, I do know what everyone is getting at. But it makes it very difficult for anyone to learn how things fit together when the only response is "get Rory's kit". I'm not trying to make it more complicated, I am trying to make it fun to build and trying to make sure I know how it all works...

Thanks Shakey, I get that you cant just repair an ESC, but you can carry spares and should one pop, swap it out. But thanks for the write up, what I took from it is that looking at motor "drivers" isnt really what I should be looking for, but going out to find brushed ESC's. I run an FrSky...

Thanks guys, I get Rorys kit is the best thing to start with but putting together the electronics for me will not be an issue. I just need to understand how motor control is achieved and I am set. Still reading to figure this out. "you cant fix what you dont understand" is something I have...

Hey guys, without wanting to make a new thread for the same discussion I thought I would ask here. You say going for one of the kits is the best way to start, but for me that isn't nessisaraly the case. I have a transmitter (I fly racing drones) but it is not spektrum. I know I can buy the JT Module...
