Built like a brick outhouse with dual-side aluminium heat spreaders, the Elite Pro impressed in the thermal torture tests and certainly justifies the price. A solid choice for reliability-focused builds.

A great value 30x30 board with similar excellent performance to T-Hobby's more expensive premium boards at a much lower price. Top tier performance and durability at a solid mid-market price point. Came #4 in the recent megabatch test of ESCs.

The #1 performer in my recent mega-batch test of 30x ESCs the F66A delivers astounding performance (especially considering its an oversized 20x20 board). It is also expensive compared to many other options but if you need maximum performance and durability - money no object, then this is it.

A microSD card equipped flight controller with a rapid STM32 H743 processor that supports Betaflight, iNav and Ardupilot. Although expensive this board is NDAA compliant for commercial applications. A dual ICM42688 gyros support the latest features of BF4.6. 7x UARTs, 2x I2C Bus, 1x CAN Bus makes this board perfect for more sophisticated drones with a lot of peripherals.

Incredible performance for the price. Sequre have really done a fantastic job with the value proposition for this 30x30 ESC. It competes with much more expensive boards and holds its own. The thermal performance is a particular highlight. Solid Top 10 performer at a bargain price.

A great performing 30x30 board in terms of both performance and durability. Supports up to 8S and much higher burst currents than its rating suggests - pushed to 80A+ in testing with no issue. Get the AM32 version (shipping from T-Hobby now) as it outperforms the BLHeli32 version.

An interesting FPV racing stack from iFlight. A combination of a chip style antenna and a U.FL connection for an external antenna provides the option to run without an external antenna for super clean builds or add one for better range/penetration. I would always add a small T-style U.FL even for close range use to give the best link stability at the highest ELRS packet rates. The flat flex cable between the ESC and FC is a strange choice when SH1.0 has been a common standard and aan FFC doesn't seem to be any better or worse than SH1.0. A modern gyro (ICM42688) and 16MB of flash storage set you up for success with tuning. A 12V BEC with a switch and built in Analog OSD is a nice feature for analog pilots using VTXs that don't support up to 8S voltage. An 8S ESC with a 65A burst current rating (which is believeable from my testing!) provide all the power you need for a 5" race build. For digital racing it's worth checking out HDZero's stack but for Analog this is hard to beat.

This is a great value stack from DYS that runs AM32 and supports up to 8S battery voltage. A 12V/3A BEC can be used to power VTXs that don't support 8S. This is a really impressive stack for the price.

Incredible performance for the price. Sequre have really done a fantastic job with the value proposition for this 20x20 ESC. It competes with much more expensive boards and holds its own. The thermal performance is a particular highlight. Solid Top 10 performer at a bargain price.

The top performing 30x30 board in my recent mega-batch test of 30x ESCs. Delivers excellent performance and durability at a significantly lower price than the F66A. If you need maximum performance and excellent durability in a 30x30 form factor, look no further.

HDZero made an FC+ESC stack! This has the most complete range of features for DIGITAL Racers and Freestyle pilots that I've seen (but NO ANALOG OSD). Integrated 2.4GHz diversity ELRS receiver with support for 2x Standard U.FL antennas. 16MB of Blackbox storage for tuning. 5V/4A and 9V/3A BECs to power all your peripherals (especially if they don't natively support 8S voltage) as well as 4x free UARTs and an I2C Bus. The ESC didn't perform great in my testing but will be more than adequate for any 5" build. There are different versions, I would choose the ICM 42688 Gyro (modern and more reliable than current MPU6000s) and either the BLHeli32 or AM32 ESC (they both perform well in my testing).

An F7 flight controller with Bluetooth connectivity, plugs for everything as well as pads for direct soldering and 8 motor outputs. The ESC is rated for 50A and runs BLHeli_32. And it's made by T-motor so the quality should be good. Great value at $90 USD.
