There was a blog post a while ago of someone who made his wiring very clean by wrapping it together, so I decided to do the something cause I was very tired of all these random wiring sticking out everywhere. I also decided to move the battery to the bottom of the quad so that the quad is not so out of balance with the battery at the back.

@christiaan in using 2212 1000KV with 10X5 in front and sunnysky 980KV with 10X4.5 at the back
Have any of you tried putting smaller props at the back as what the front once are or vise versa? I wonder what the difference will be.
@Jeroen Brosens, i fly a 9X5 before but less flight time and it drift a lot so i change to 10X4.5. im planning to try 10X3.8 from RCtimer and im still waiting till it arrives.
@jan michael: the props are 9x5 carbon, I also used 10x4.7 nylon/carbon before which were also nice but less stiff. Since I am running 4S and 980KV motors, the smaller diameter is a little more efficient.
Seems nice, maybe a bit too large props for a 4S setup I'd say, but the motors look powerful enough. It won't be an agile acro quad, but you may get long flight times.
I have ordered the following

@jeroen is that 10X5 or 10X3.8? cos im planning to replace my props with RC timer 10X3.8 here's my rig.
Well on my motors hover is around 60% of throttle and you can push your throttle only up to around 90% before the ESC's cut out that gives me 30% of throttle to manuaver around and that is not enough I need my throttle hover to be around 40 or 50% and that is what the stronger motors will give me.
These are SunnySky 2212 980KV motors, I don't think they are more than 200W. The props are 9x5 carbon and I fly using Zippy Compact 3700mAh 4S lipos. I've also mounted original DJI arms as those are quite cheap and a lot stiffer than those that came with the frame. When I am hovering, the setup draws about 18A, so that is only 18 * 16.8 / 4 = 75W per motor. About twice that when I give a throttle boost. Don't you think 400W is a little overpowered?
Its a very nice setup, but I can immediately see that your motors is much stronger than mine, I have that 200watt DJI crap, I have ordered 400watt motors with carbon fiber props. I think the weak motors can also be a reason.
