Crashed my DarkMax220 and cracked the frame. Out of the ashes hopefully will come a much better flying experience.

Gutted the Darkmax. Swapped for a Swift 2 and the new budget saving Samguk Wu 2700Kv.

How r the quality of the motors? I have heard a lot of horror stories on rcgroups

I have only tried about 5 packs at this point but so far so good. Haven't had a bad crash yet, one failsafe though and they are still fine. Get about 2.5min flight time. They are definitely not high end motors, but for 10 dollars can't really complain.
