You should try some of these.Of course! I got 2 new batteries, (I already have 3) Orange and green LED lenses and 4 extra motors just because

Here's Mr. MM himself (I like him.)
How about a few tips from the master of the micros.

Yup, I wrecked again...
These are the motors I are ordered!
I had the "insane edition" from MMW in the previous Alias. So I ordered more! My current one has back-up, stock motors from the old one. Thanks for the tip, but I know the Alias very well. I have owned 2, and rebuilt the first one at least 3 times.
I do appreciate your willingness to help BTW! Don't think I don't!
PS. they haven't arrived yet, not sure why, they're late for the first time.

Having trouble with the weather in the area, so I have not been able to get any footage, I will post some as soon as I can!
Always a limiting factor haha.

So I havn't posted an update in a few days. What ended up happening was the new controller I ordered was a lemon. It worked, but I replaced two motors because I thought they were burned out. (quad had a death wobble)
After the 5th flight, the controller froze up and got stuck on the "sync" screen.
I changed the batteries, witch is about all you can do with a $9 controller. Still stuck on the same screen, won't reboot, won't re-sync, just frozen. So I emailed the company that I bought it from and within 2 hours they sent an email containing tracking info on the return package. So i'll be getting a new one soon.
Also I ordered a second quad a few days back, I had a moment of weakness and bought a SYMA X6.. It was only $60, so I bought it. I should have saved my money for a better quad, but I may or may not have had a few to many drinks when I ordered it... =/ Oh well, It arrives tomorrow. So we'll see, I honestly bought it because it reminds me of some kind of skycar from Star Wars. I honestly don't even care if it works or not, I just really like the way it looks.
I have meant to post some videos but haven't had the chance, THEY WILL COME!

What company did you order from?
"I should have saved my money for a better quad" THAT is the the biggest/hardest lesson that is most learned throughout this hobby.

They never sent a return package, they just sent me a new controller! I am uploading a video recorded on my Samsung tablet to YouTube now. I'll post the link when it's done. Not the best quality, it's also dark.
Yeah, I don't have a drinking problem, but when I do drink, I have a "buy crap on Amazon and eBay without really thinking" problem lol.
It's alright though I plan to give it to my little brother, after flying it of course.

Not the best video, but better then I expected. I hit the neighbor's house head on at 35 seconds in the video!
