Thanks. Now that you mention it the props do kind of look like Syma props. Might not be a bad idea to try those X5HCs out.

Typical Amazon branders old tech, not even available on Gearbest or Banggood. Amazon lists no spare parts.
@ $22 this beginners quad blows it out of the water. Fully enclosed gears, nice lights, motor stop function if resistance is met and comes with a full set of spare props.

And all spares available.

Typical huh? Well I still have my Syma X5C from a year ago and haven't had to replace anything on it yet. Not even motors. As a matter of fact I still have an old JJRC H8C which is an amazing quad. Guys were burning the motors out on that thing left and right. Mine is still flying strong. I did change from bushings to bearings, but that's it. I take care of my stuff. Once it goes kaput in a few years, I'll have moved on to the next quad anyway. I seriously doubt that thing blows anything out of the water Jackson. It's Eachine right? Seriously? That's why you'll need all those parts. I'll still be flying my H33 next year....just watch, or have given it away to somebody by that time. The only thing I'll probably need is extra props (oh yeah, the X5C props fit on it) and batteries which are readily available. Believe it or not, most people aren't going to replace a bunch of stuff on these cheap quads. Only serious RC mechanics like you. Thanks for watching.

Have no idea what that means, but obviously you aren't flying them.
I take it English is not your first language.

I'm with Jackson on this one. Whenever I catch wind of a new quadcopter, the first thing I look for is the availability of spare parts. If I can't replace motors, props, gears, etc. then I don't even consider it. Otherwise you've got a quadcopter that is useless the first time something goes wrong, or you crash and break something no matter how minor. You don't have to be a "serious RC mechanic" to want to fix your quadcopter when needed. Fly them enough, and they will all need something replaced, and that's a 100% guarantee.
And just because they're cheap doesn't mean they're disposable. People keep their Syma X5s in the air through hundreds and hundreds of flights, for example, but that's only because there's a rich supply of parts available. Otherwise what are you going to do, just fly it until your first motor fails or you damage a gear, and then just throw it away? They sell parts for these things because they are meant to be repaired. It's also why the bodies on all of them come apart, with screws.
