Blade mQX RTF Crash need new parts

This past weekend I was learning flips and accidentally powered into the ground from about 30 ft up.
It has taken a beating, probably 100 crashes, and a few this hard, and finally gave out.
Not bad for a first quad. It has been very tough, light, and great for learning.

Broken parts I found:
-Propeller arm shaft
-Motor mount

I have never replaced any parts yet and am new to the hobby.

Any help locating replacement parts? Specific websites? ( Yes I've done a bit of searching )
Should I just go to a local hobby shop and see if they have the parts / willing to help?

Cheers

Time to upgrade. Check out Banggood.com, Gearbest.com, or GetFPV.com

You might be able to find a whole new quad within your budget. Reason I say upgrade.. that quad frame looks brittle. Those are brushed motors (brushless is better).

But I found this after doing some digging.. Parts & Accessories - Scroll Down for Tab (this was for the Nano QX , The Mini QX has been discontinued)

Others have come out with upgrades for your quad like Here. But they are a bit pricey in my opinion. Better off with a new quad.

FlySky i6s. It's like $50-$60 and is a great controller for the price!

I was asking TheTechGuy.. but anyways lets get off topic! :eek: I have the same! :D I refuse to upgrade to the Taranis until somebody comes out with a quality-tech Xbox style controller. I already have the muscle memory from a lifetime of gaming.

I feel the same way. The Taranis is too complex anyway. Oh well. I hope TheTechGuy figures thing out.

Thanks for the ideas! I will be browsing heavily the rest of the weekend.

The radio transmitter was the one that came in the box. Picture Attached.

I've been having some strange issues with flying and my father who is good at troubleshooting electronics and circuits thinks it might be the rheostat in the controller for thrust?

Perhaps it is time for a new radio transmitter. And new quad.

Fortunately parts are still around for the MQX and 180 QX. (I have a couple of the 180 QX and they're excellent.) The parts you need are here. The MQX and the 180 QX use the exact same frame. You can also find parts on eBay. I went through a lot of spare parts myself when I started learning to fly acro on the 180 QX.
