Re: Clay's RCX 250 Quad Build
You could do it either way. If, for example, you ran a carbon fiber rod (or something to mount the LED's to) across the back of the quad, you surely could run a solid strip of LED's from one side to another. Doing a solid, single, strip of LED's would be the easiest because you would only need one set of black and red "power" wires. The way that I did mine required that I run the power leads, from the ESC's to the first set of LED's and then I ran jumpers to power the other set of LED's. It wasn't complicated, just more involved.

Re: Clay's RCX 250 Quad Build
Looks awesome Clay.
One thing in the video, your front right motor spools up later than the others.
You may want to go back and re do the ESC cal and motor idle set up.

Re: Clay's RCX 250 Quad Build
So.. When I placed my order originally months ago.. Battery strap, 2 of them were part of my order.. They didn't come... Prop colors were not all correct either... As well as an equal split on CW & CCW... I chalked it up as ordering from China and decided to just deal with it as is... I'm fly'n right..... Well, this morning while I'm out smoke'n, drink'n coffee, & pull'n in the trash cans from the curb... I check the mail.. Got a padded envelope from China.. What could it be... Had forgot all about my minorly botched order.. Open it and I've got 10 battery straps! Awesome!
