OK, so you're looking at a freestyle build - so your powertrain is not bad for a cheap freestyle setup, but it could be better.

First, the frame is expensive, the rest of the parts are not. Personally, I'd just get a basic Martian II frame if you're going to go with commodity parts. It's a cheap, durable, and good freestyle frame with lots of room. And you save over $75 that way.

Those motors are actually not bad - but I'd be wary of them being ripoffs. They look like the Aokfly 2206 that have some really good reviews. Are they Hypetrains? No, but again, the difference between a $14 motor and a $25 motor is not necessarily huge, especially if you're not as good as a member of the Rotor Riot crew.

Racerstar motors are crappy motors that I use in builds that are basically disposable. Racerstar ESCs are OK. But again, you can get a DALRC 4-in-1 with blheli_32 for the same price from a place like Race Day Quads. I would not pay $60 + shipping for those ESCs, that's highway robbery.

The flight controller: ugh. A generic FC is asking for trouble. Spend a couple of bucks more and get something like the DYS F4 V2 that will be much better.

You'll get much better bang for your buck buying outside of Amazon - Piroflip, GetFPV, or RaceDayQuads all have better selections of parts and the prices are comparable, or sometimes cheaper than what you can find on Amazon.
