Obtaining electrical components for hovercraft

  1. Purchased the following items at Chinatown Fookhai Building
    1. Sunnysky 2300KV motor                                         x2
    2. Plastic propellers                                                        x4
    3. DALAC XR20A External speed controller            x2
    4. 6 channel remote control                                         x1
    5. Vant Lipo battery 1300mAh 35C                            x2
    6. Various adaptors and connectors
  2. ESC lacks an internal BEC power system. Hence, we purchased a DualSky 2-3Lipo 22A with a 2A internal BEC.
  3. Other purchases includes XT60 connectors and 2mm connectors that we needed
