This is an old build, but I still fly it. I built it before they started selling brushed boards with built in receivers, which is why it's separate. It was also originally on a cheap PCB frame, but it proved too flexible, and I changed it to the lantian. It's really quick, and sounds wicked ripping by. I find the JJRC props to give me the best performance. Upgrading to the higher c zop batteries (from old syma batteries) really helped too.

Broke the frame in a crash, updated to a King Kong smart 100. be Little tighter lifted a pad on the RX too, so I replaced with an rx2a pro. Still a great little flyer!

I might have to try the ZOP power batteries. I have no-name blue batteries, when I punch out the voltage drops so much the board powers down. 'Telemetry Lost' :)

Helped mine a lot compared to the no name batteries I had originally for my x5c, but I was just getting beeping for low battery (don't have a taranis to talk to me about it!)

Well the last flight with the zop batteries proved a disaster. Saying terrible now. They were so much better at first.

Got some GNB 80c 550mah 1s on the slow boat. Seems a better brand - maybe they'll be good and last

I was also looking at the 1S 750mAh Turnigy Graphene supposedly 65C. I love my 4S Turnigy Graphenes.
