The Turnigy Plush series ESCs can
handle high speed flight controllers.
They are programmable, so you can
change the basic configuration of the
ESCs. The motors that I have selected
work fine with the 18 amp ESCs, but I
wanted to give you options for others
in case they are out of stock. Also if
you want to upgrade the motors later,
you might want to use the 25 or 30
amp ESCs. You will need four ESCs.
In addition, be sure to pick up a
programmer for the ESCs. They are
only $7 and make programming very
easy. The Hobby King part number is
TR_PC.
The ESCs don't come with
connectors, so you will have to
purchase them. You will need 12
pairs of the 3. 5 mm
bullet connectors.
They are sold in 10
pair packs, so order
two. The part
number is
AM1001A.
You will also
need some 5 mm
heat shrink. It's
probably easier to
purchase this locally
as it's usually out of
stock at Hobby King.
As an option, I
am looking into a
new ESC series
offered by Hobby
King. They are called
MultiStar and have
all the connectors
pre-installed.
I am in the process of testing
these ESCs and will be posting the
results on the Kronos Flyer web page.

The prop sets come with a set of
inserts. These inserts allow you to use
the props on various motors. The SK3
motors you will be using have a 5 mm
shaft onto which you will be installing
the prop.
Power Distribution
Board
When building a multi-rotor,
you need a way to distribute power
to the ESCs. There are various ways
to do this.
Some commercial frames have
PCB boards built in. While this makes
connections easy,
they tend to be
heavy and can
reduce the range of
your radio.
