lol, some good advice. But with such a low budget, you’re much better off buying a prebuilt. Meepo v3 seems like the best option.

Meepo is more reputable.

and with them you’re already taking a risk. so maybe leave it at that.

Teemo maybe the other 2 aren’t any good

Would go with a meepo v3 until you source the money for better stuff

None. First is pouch battery=no range. Second is a 2018 version of a Meepo. Third is a well-known piece of crap.

This is the way.

Deffiently meepo v3 I have my diy monster, but the meepo also comes in super handy! Its light, reliable and fun! Really good bang for 300ish bucks. I am currently building a 10s4p battery to fit in the original meepo enclosure for some better range :+1:
