  • Would I require to re program the ESC's? They have something in the store which looks like a usb key to 3 wire connector, it's usually called an ESC flasher.


    What would be the recommended battery's - Probably a 4Ah 4s, any brand is fine to start off, and later once you work out all the kinks, you can get a more expensive one.


    What would be a recommended prop size (looking at 10x5e) - that's a good prop size.


    Also, what would be a recommended TX & RX system for an octo? - The Taranis X9D is decent, really any system would work.
