Not Another Chameleon

My go to. My daily flier. This thing continues to survive crash after crash on concrete. Have had so many comments on the punch. People are surprised when I say its a Chameleon. Not the most efficient setup, but I still get 2 minutes of freestyle with it, and enough power to get out of a pinch. I'm so impressed with the durability of these motors. I've tried s lot of props, but keep coming back to the 5152's for this setup. Take a close look at the esc's and you'll notice that I protect them with pieces of plastic water bottle to maintain that squeaky clean look. Thanks for looking = )

Wow that was a close one. Was that a random person walking there?
