MOTORS
Flywoo Nin V2 1203 Pro
This Flywoo 1203 motor comes in a heap of different KV options for 2S, 3S and even 4S toothpicks. I'd take the 4850KV for efficiency or 5500KV for power on 3S outdoors and 2S indoors.
T-Motor M0802 Micro
0802 motors are ideal for 65mm 1S Tiny Whoops. Choose the 22000KV motor for flight time and efficiency or the 25000KV motor for more power. The higher KV motor will benefit from a high quality battery and BT2.0 connector. This T-motor micro is light weight with good build quality.
T-Motor F1204
1204 is a great size motor for 3" toothpick quads. 5000KV is perfect for 3S batteries outdoors and 2S indoors.
PROPS
EMAX Avia TH1609 3" 2-Blade Propeller (Set of 4)
Emax make some great props for smaller quads. These are my favourite for 3S toothpicks, plenty of thrust with good efficiency and well matched to a 1204/1303 size motor.
Gemfan 1219-3 31mm 3-Blade Whoop Propeller (1mm Shaft - Set of 8)
These props from Gemfan are perfect for 65mm tiny whoops. 3-blades gives a good balance of power and efficiency. With Whoops it's important to check shaft diameter on props and motors!
HQProp 40MM 3-Blade Micro Whoop Propeller (1.5mm Shaft - Set of 4)
HQ produce some lovely props and they frequently come out top in my performance testing. These props are perfect for 75mm Whoops and well matched to a 1002 size motor.
FC + ESC
Flywoo GOKU F405 AIO - F405 FC + 12A BLHELI_S 1-2S ESC w/ ELRS 2.4GHz Rx (MPU6000)
My favourite tiny whoop flight controller. Blackbox, 2S rated ESC, ELRS 2.4Ghz UART receiver. The F405 processor has plenty of flash space for future Betaflight versions and enough processing power to run a 4K PID loop. It has a plethora of UART connections for digital or analog VTXs and it's super small and light!
Happymodel X12 AIO 5-in-1 Board - F4 FC + 12A ESC
A fully featured AIO flight controller for Analog toothpicks up to 2S battery voltage. Includes ELRS receiver and 400mW OpenVTX analog video transmitter. No blackbox chip will limit the ability to tune the drone however.
JHEMCU AIO Board - GSF405A F4 FC + 5A 1-2S ESC w/ Built-in ELRS 2.4GHz Receiver
This is a fantastic tiny whoop flight controller for up to 2S batteries. It has blackbox and a UART ExpressLRS receiver built in as well as all the necessary connections for digital or analog VTXs. A great feature set for a tiny whoop!
Happymodel ExpressLRS F4 5A 5-in-1 AIO FC w/ Built-in 2.4GHz Rx
1S Tiny Whoop flight controller with built in ExpressLRS receiver. No blackbox chip is a limitation for tuning.
