Another apex bootleg since I've been beating the stuffing out of my first one , which still flies, but which could probably use some new motors and some deep cleaning...lol

I think this is a pretty solid frame and the colors have no meaning besides being "colorful"... that's why the name

My last few builds all aimed towards higher KV motors, but in this one I just salvaged some guts from an old rig, so 2450kv is fine for the moment (on 4S)....could try some 5S and see if that gives the desired additional punch

So yeah..in the parts list the frame is listed at $141... that's for an actual impulseRC one with warranty...I paid $29.99 free shipping, so I can get like 4 and a half of these before that warranty would become interesting for me... don't get me wrong, the real deal is probably totally worth it, but for the moment I just can't afford it ...also pretty much all the other parts have been salvage, except the Vista, which I originally planned to put into new tubular rig, but after smashing another quad last week I'll just recycle that Vista for that project and use the new one for this one
