If you stump up the extra few quid for a Power Distribution Board (PDB) it will save you a headache.

its not 'needed' but it means you wont have to re-build your entire wiring loom if you want to add anything, you can just solder on the extra bits:

The decent baseplate PDB's are all available direct from the manufacturers:

e.g.
http://team-legit.com/product/nucleus-pdb-by-wadzofquadz-team-legit-for-zmr250/


There's a few variations around but they are all pretty much the same thing.

If you are not confident with wiring/soldering get your self a base place PDB like above..

Get the PDB it makes it 100% easier.. if you solder something around the wrong way you'll get smoke/fire and broken shit so take your time.

Go for the DYS motors and ESC I mentioned that HK supplier earlier..

Order the frame from banggood UK warehouse, find a PDB then get the Naze32 from where ever you like

Yep then when you get your camera you just need to slightly dismantle it to solder in the wires for the Camera and the video transmitter.

Unless you can afford to lose/smash the GoPro I wouldn't use it.. Because shit goes wrong

I'm thinking i don't need a decent camera for taking photos etc just want the fpv aspect. So can get a cheapish camera. (cheaper than a go pro anyway)

Stevo... I'm toying with selling my ZMR250 build if you're still looking for a 250 racer.
