Mini Quad Build > Frame / PDB / Motors / ESC's


2 hours of soldering, with not the prettiest ESC to motors connections because of space constraints. CC3D flight controller has menu select for "reversing motor rotation" so doesn't matter how the 3-wires connect.  
Note convenient use of frame posts to hold ESC's.

Need to always reference this, so putting this here.


Each ESC had ~4-5g of wires coming off, so ESC weight assumption was high.
I may save a couple more grams when I shorten those ESC control wires and removing ground.  
(No ground looping to ESC!!)

Surprisingly, overall matches to the original loose weight tally up to this point, which mean we on track to be overweight!
