Hi Haggis, there is really a bunch of options out there for 250 quads if you are building it yourself. For frames I like the ZMR style they are cheap plentiful for parts and fairly strong. Flight controllers there are many too but 2 that seem to have risen to the top are the CC3D and Naze32 I like both. There's 2 sizes of motors generally used in 250's 1806 and 2204, the 1806 spin up faster than 2204's but the 2204's are physically stronger and have more torque, I prefer the 2204 size. For ESC's you would be looking at 12amp or more. For me it's fun learning about all the different options and different parts, I don't know if that's something you're wanting to do or if you would prefer just buying a pre built one? if so you could go for something like the Walkera 250. Hope that helps you. BTW I loved your Red Road flats failed demolition video.
+james marshall Yea I am leaning towards a prebuilt one as I have no experience in builds although it sounds interesting. oh and I am glad you liked the Red Road video :)
