.futaba is its own and spektrum is dsm/dsm2...neither will bind to toy quads except maybe the blade nQX which is dsm2...The bayang x9 is the clone but is certainly not dsm compatible.

Actually..the jjrc comes apart in one piece..you dont have to cut anything to take it all out as a whole...if anything you may have to add some wire to the motors due to the larger size but thats easy..cut the wire between board and motor and add a piece...no soldering to the board at all..You do have to figure how you want to mount the board...that isnt a direct fit replacement..most just hot glue it in place and be done with it.

By the way you will get 100m plus range with the x6 radio and jjrc board..so no radio mod is needed either.
The antenna on the x6 is fake but the range is far better than the x5c transmitter and board....i suppose you could do the mod to the x6 but you would be so far out you couldnt see it anyways...my guess is over 150m easily..FPV would be needed badly..lol

I saw where it had a 150m range. I went ahead and ordered it on your rec. I'm still gonna fiddle with the props while I wait and I'll drill the body when I take it apart to put the board in. Messing with these little toys is kinda like trading my Harley for a Vespa....Hahaha!!

You will find these toy quads quite fun and addicting...they are cheap to repair and alot of fun to fly when you have your big boys down with programming problems or cant spend$150.00 to repair it from a minor crash.
The biggest issue with the toy quads are motor life..Sometimes one can burn out after 5 packs and sometimes they can last for 30 or 40 packs with no issues..
Im pretty sure most all of the props designed for use with geared motors are all gonna be about the same..not sure you will find much of a measurable difference in them.. If you do find a set that has alot more lift you just risk burning the motors up and will lose flight time from the battery as it will draw alot more amps...Geared set ups tend to use a higher kv motor than a direct drive...If they ran direct drive with those sized props on these small motors they wouldnt last very long at all...would get extremely hot and possibly burn up the FET's on the board.
The JJRC board has FET's rated for a max of 3.5 amps...your syma maybe pulls 2 amps stock with higher kv motors and the gearing with the camera and prop guards etc..
If you want larger 8.5mm motors you can adapt the FY326 motor holders and motors or just buy a complete quad for $16.00 and put the board in it...hahaha.
I think you will end up being a toy quad fan once you see how you can get some of them to fly..My purpose for buying the better models is to use the boards in hybrid builds
You may decide not to tear that jjrc 1000 apart.. Its really a fun little quad as is and especially at night...im keeping one stock and buying more for projects.
