[PARTS LIST] ZMR250 RACING DRONE - BUILD VIDEO WITH FPV - PART 1

- Hey Everyone! Welcome to my build video of the ZMR250 FPV racing drone! I've included the entire parts list WITH LINKS so that you can easily find the same or similar parts :) In this video I will be building the ZMR250 from scratch, and not necessarily on a budget. I've upgraded a few components and purchased top of the line equipment which really is not needed just to get the ZMR 250 with FPV up and running. I did look into the Blackout mini 250 and other pre-built FPV racing drones but I wanted the experience of building one from scratch. This is partly why I went with the ZMR250. I must say though, I am very happy with this drone despite the setback and mess-ups I encountered (I'll get to those later). Another good reason for building the FPV drone from scratch is the knowledge you gain from the experience. I knew nothing about frequencies, voltage, soldering and simply piloting FPV drones. I can't say that I'm now an expert, but I know a LOT more than if I bought this thing off the shelf (let along the feeling of accomplishment once you finish-took about a month to build).
Moving forward, it was important that I kept track of the parts and links to the parts so that anyone watching this video could, in theory, buy the same parts and build the same drone. Feel free to leave a comment if you have a question about switching out a component for a cheaper one. There are many big ticket items like the Transmitter and FPV Goggles that can be switched out. Either myself or someone in the RUclips community will do their best to help you. I really hope you enjoy this video, and the parts to follow. I'll also post some more entertainment geared videos of flying in cool places once I get my GoPro hooked up and mounted.
RUclips WONT LET ME PASTE THE ENTIRE PARTS LIST SO HERE IS A GOOGLE DOC WITH THE LIST:

Thank you!
for soldering the esc's to the motors. you could remove the shrink wrap from the esc's, desolder the wires, then solder the motor wires directly to the pads on the esc's. makes it alot cleaner. great video. I've probably watched it about 3 times.
Yes this is a nice trick. My soldering skills suck however lol
DUDE YOU ARE SOOOOO AWSOME !!
THX THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED ME.
Glad it did! What part were you having trouble with?
Great job!
Thank you sir
I have a quick question for you... what did you do with the receiver antennas? They are all wobbly and then when you did your maiden flight it looks like you had them stiff and perfectly aligned... how did you manage this?
Sorry for not mentioning this in the video! I took 2 zip-ties and affixed them to these holes in the top of the frame. After you do this, don't trim the excess zip tie, rather point it upwards and place a piece of heatshrink over the ziptie AND antenna to keep the antenna rigid and upright. Activate the heatshrink to keep it from falling off.
Instead of cutting the wires to mount the ESC on the wing arms could you mount them on the main body? Most likely would still need to cut the wiring, but the wing arms would be less cluttered. Just a though I haven't built any of these yet. Mainly watching videos to get some context while visualizing a build in my head.
great instructional man, just a heads up though, those are "nuts" not bolts :) cheers mate.
LOL I'm such a noob!
Awesome video man thanks! I've been trying to gather as much info as possible on fpv cause I'd really like to start building one but I still have a few things unclear. Mostly the radio and video signal stuff. I'm about to watch your other video on that topic and see what I learn!
Ok so I saw your other videos and they did clear up a few things but not all. Like stated above my main questions are in the "rc" aspect of the build. Ok, so I'm planning on using the TBS tango controller and I understand stuff a "jr module" in the back of the controller I think this is to transmit the radio signal to the receiver on the drone, correct? And I understand the drone needs a video transmitter sending the video signal to the googles/screen. My question is, what receives that signal? Is that already built in the TBS tango? I'm sorry this questions might be obvious but all I can find online are complicated terms that I'm not familiar with. I just need it simplified lol. Long story short, would these all work with each other?
TBS tango (controller)
Lumenier lux (flight controller)
Frsky d4r-ii (receiver)
Frsky xjt (transmitter)
Lumenier TX5G6 Mini (video transmitter)
Thanks!
I think it will work. I looked into the TBS Tango, never heard of it before but it looks sick!
The Frsky xjt (transmitter) is compatible with the TBS Tango and let me show you why I think it'll work.
It appears that the TBS Tango must use a JR module transmitter. *"JR-compatible expansion module required"* - from the manual.
The Frsky xjt (transmitter) is a JR modual style transmitter. This means the Frsky xjt (transmitter) will plug into the TBS Tango, and you can confirm that from their online manual as well as see a photo of it " It features built-in video receiver *and a slot for JR-compatible radio modules.*"
-See photo of where the xjt goes in the TBS Tango, the JR-module slot, DSC, micro-USB, TBS-port (for
goggles), power button and speaker: gyazo.com/ee111bb1463a21ccac98992609045583
Everything else looks fine in terms of compatibility. That TBS Tango looks sweet though.
You know... the ESCs actually don't have to go on the arms. I know that they are popularly placed on the arms because it can save space in the body, but I've seen plenty of builds where the ESCs sit inside the body. Having just wires and no ESCs on the arms looks really clean if you can pull it off.
Honestly, i have zero space inside lol, but yeah, there or underneath even.
MrJayBusch can you make on how to make your own transmitter from scratch.... i just wanna have an idean about that too.. any ways love you videos
You don't have to have a heat gun to shrink the heat shrink you just need a lighter
Thank you for your video. Any idea how much weight does the drone have with battery? What is the battery life on it? Thanks
This is pretty much correct - sometimes I can get away with 7 min but as we all know, you don't want to run your batteries to 0% it will damage them.
I have the receiver connected and its bound to the transmitter. Base flight is reading the receiver moving roll, pitch, yaw, and throttle when I move the gimbles on my X9D Plus. But when I disconnect it from base flight, the motors aren't spinning when i move the gimbles. Help?
You secure the propellers with nuts and not bolts! ;-)
Yes I know now lol ! :)
How are your solder joints after that? You seem to be heating up the solder, not the parts you are soldering. You seem to be just dripping solder onto the pads 19:00
Yeah I'm a complete noob, but I bought a better iron and it became much easier!
+MrJayBusch practice makes perfect ;D my electronics class that i took my last year in high school really helped a ton
+LDM // practice does make perfect. Just after this video I've gotten better. But that class you took sounds pretty cool
Do you know What i need to use when i have a spektrum dx6i
Everything the same but use a Spektrum compatible receiver such as the Orange R615X.
What's the cheapest remote option ?
How much did it all cost?
Hey is it must to use lock tight??? Please reply
YES
+MrJayBusch what is the use of lock tight?
You shouldn't be building anything if you're struggling with what loctite is for. Do u even solder bro?
+Xaviera Yayaell yea i do
It's used so that the screws stay *tight*, and don't unscrew from the vibrations of the motors while you are flying.
Hey Mr Jay can u send me the parts list and were you got them.. having trouble down load them
It's in the video description
hey what would cause my xt60 connection to spark/burn when plugging in battery?
Ahh shoot man, maybe a short/bad connection? Not good though...
What is the name of the motors you bought
Also where did you by the xt60 cable
can u give me some idea what drone can i buy in 150$ budget? hope to get some good camera and kinda fast
I recommend the Eachine wizard x220.It is not a kit but rtr.
Won't get anything fast or legit, BUT there are some pre built quads for sale now...
What was the total cost after everything was said and done?
~$900 but I upgraded a LOT
Are you sure? I could build 8 of these for that.
Yes mind you this was 1 year ago - now is much cheaper so this is good!
i think i will not find this in nepal because live in nepal
how far it can fly from you?
I haven't tested the full capability because I don't want to lose it lol. However I have gone further than eye sight. I believe the components I've used are rated to about a mile or 2.
what is the model number of motors
DYS BE1806-2300kv Brushless Multirotor Motor 3S~4S
357$ with out transmitter
Or can you email me it.....
