I’m looking at getting Tarot IRON MAN 650 Folding Carbon Fiber Quadcopter Frame and I’m wondering what would be a good motor I’m looking for power and range the power board and everything else needed gps fpv and a camera for the bottom and the lights I would need thanks
Hello @Feeneydfeeney and welcome to the RobotShop community!
Since you mentioned this is the first drone you are going to make I suggest you check out the How to Make a Drone and UAV tutorial series which will guide you through the whole process of building a drone. There you will also find some definitions and tips as well as links for each of the parts you need.
If you are looking for something in particular you can also check out the UAVs & Drones section and if you have any specific doubts don’t be afraid to ask, we will be here to assist you 
Finally, it would be awesome if you can share your drone in the Robots section
Good luck with your project!
This site says that the most efficient motor is the Tarot 4114 High Power Brushless Motor and is capable of lifting 12kgs (26.5lbs).
Supposedly the air frame will work with all Tarot motors.

Would this work
Everything about the 2 motors is different… diameter, mounting holes, one has a threaded propeller shaft, KV…

Couple questions I’m looking at using the pi hawk with the god module unless the dji one would work I’m looking at the yuncee st16 controller and could I use multi Luke batteries to extend flight times
There is a type I meant gps module
This was the battery I was looking at https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/storefronts/batteries-15134--1/spektrum-smart-technology-/111v-5000mah-30c-3s-hardcase%3A-ic3-p-spmx50003s30h3
They also have a 22 volt model lake the one you told me
