Buy inspire 1 and build v2 for cheaper

[QuadFlyer]

I was looking at parts to upgrade a v1 to a v2 and the gimbal plate is $99, new blade mount kit is only $5! And 2 pair of blade is only $24... So how much would be the motors? Probably I guess the other $200? Can you even buy them? Did not see them on DGI website? Just curious.... anyone have any significant feedback on the new motors? Better control, speed, power....

The dji reps over on RCG say the flying characteristic differences are negligible. I think DJI made the change to help deal with the extra weight of the X5.

So the V2.0 has a more powerfull lightbridge? Any more info on that?

DJI to date has been clear that they will not be offering the motors for sale. Just as they have not offered the motors for the original model for sale either. Keep in mind to complete the upgrade one would need to also upgrade to theV2 light bridge assembly as it transmits at 4 times the power.
