Easily-fixed Unit?

I'm having a lot of fun with my Syma X5C but I'm worried I might have to start buying new ones every other month, between losing in trees and damage.
What would be slightly more expensive but more easily repairable? I'm thinking a V262 from WL Toys; apparently their motors plug in without soldering (I don't think I have the fingers to solder, especially tiny connections).
I can reasonably disassemble and reassemble, screw/unscrew etc.

board thoughts?
 
sounds good
1) motors plug in, good. (edit, re-read reply)
2) can it take a Syma X5C-type camera for still shots if not video?
3) are they okay wi credit cards or should I use Paypal?
 
well I rolled the dice and ordered it.
is there a spare parts kit for?

new to the hobby, I'm liking the thought of interchangeable parts, like batteries. frustrating to get something like an oil filter for car and have to research make/model/year/engine etc. are most quad motors interx?

I posted the link, you didn't buy a full set of motors and most of the other pasts they offer?
 
got it. nice flyer. confusing manual (!) can't figure out the headless stuff.
looks like it'll be great for night ops.

worked some OT recently and have ordered a WL-V959 unit. plug-in components and a camera.
 
just finished second night flight. Woo Hoo! this thing is AWESOME after dark! I flew it right at sunset and went in and recharged for another flight.
the blinking green is a big help.
unit seems to have problems vertically, constantly up/down. don't know if it's the unit or the wind or me. challenge to not hit the dirt. helped to keep it at some altitude.
thanks Jackson for the link! (great price!) now I'll go ahead and get the spare parts for.
 
trying to order spare parts but Gearbest doesn't list lights. tried to request e-mail they won't let me unless I register for an account. tried online chat but there were 29 people ahead of me and they moved very slow.
anyone know where I could buy spare lights for the NiHui? Banggood perhaps?
