@threeonethree
Buy adjustable temperature soldering iron($4-$6 or more) you can purchase according to temperature of solder wire melting point
A third hand(or make diy with coolant pipe)
Buy zip ties($1~$2) of two size 10cm~20cm. Mostly 10cm is used. If you will use 20cm then  remaining 8 inch of zip tie will be wasted.
Buy high temperature sponge to clean tip and solder iron stand which has space for yellow sponge. Always store yellow sponge with water. I mean wet.
It is better to buy rosin core solder wire. Buy 60/40 rosin core solder wire.
If you want high quality solder wire then checkout mouser.in
Buy allen key set($3~$4) according to your need.
XT60 connector are available in pair so, search for many times to find XT60 with cheap price.
If you want thick silicon wire for powering quad then buy 10cm silicon wire with XT60 connector  for battery. Costs $1+ for one pair(Price from AliExpress).
Heat shrink price will increase with increase in size.
I have purchased many things from AliExpress.
If you can wait for 15 days or month then order from AliExpress.
Advice - Seller can be fraudster. So never click on Goods Received when product is not checked & tested.

Price is fixed on Banggood but on AliExpress, many seller are available and much competition so, you can get low price but you will have to face bad seller which will provide tracking number but will not send your parcel to courier and this is why tracking details is updated online. So, after placing order. Send a message to seller to ship order within 1-2 days. If seller is an active seller then your parcel will be sent to courier within 1-2 days else you will need to wait for more days.

Buy lipo from India and buy a good balance charger. Don't go for b3 charger as many beginner purchased b3 which is not a balance charger.

If you need help in ordering in AliExpress then feel free to contact me.
