Ive asked what cable is used for the TBS pigtails in the Team Black Sheep fb group. Hopefully Trappy or someone else that works there will respond 
Right now I’m rebuilding my other 3D printed drone. This time the 2".
It’s flown really well and been loads of fun, but after the Chesterfield Bando trip a couple of weeks ago it suffered quite badly and although it still actually flew just fine it was clear that the Polypropylene frame had split and become unusable.
I don’t have any more polypropylene and I’ve been desperate to do a rebuild of it with a proper camera. Having tried @Jon-Denise 's Mantis 85 which was loads of fun even in the house I decided something like that was what was needed.
I found a frame that took my fancy on Banggood, the AlfaRC CubAIO 88mm, and that just arrived this week.
The 2" 3d printed drone was a bit odd with a 16mm ESC and a 20mm FC, with an adapter plate inbetween. I’ve changed to both being 20mm style since 16mm parts seem to be very hard to find these days. I chose the AtomRC Exceed BLS20A 4in1 2~4S ESC.
Anyway, I’ve started tonight and have the ESC wired up to the motors from the old build, which seem to work fine. I’ve applied conformal coating as well.

It’s coming together.
It all works and is conformally coated. I’m very happy with just 88g for the weight.
Now I need to get BF 4.3 on there. Then test flights…
And of course I need to get the Runcam Thumb on it.

Love it, just hope it as much fun as you hoped.
Anything would fit on there, but I’d imagine the 85x motors (1105?) might be too small/weak. I think mine are 1406. I think Chris Teal (DroneCo) does some smaller frames too, though.
My 5" just got some snazzy new Xing 2 2306 2555KV motors, race LEDs and new VTX and GPS antenna mounts…

Think I need a smaller battery

Nutter! You’ve given me an idea…
It’s been running at full throttle for nearly an hour, great for testing
What’s your idea?

Youre gonna need bigger props to take off with that powerstation attached 
It’s got 8” props, I think I might have some 10”ers somewhere
