I'm not familiar with that quad but are your props spinning the right way?? Two will spin cc and two cow. You have to make sure your props are assigned to the right motor.
That depends on how much disposable income you have.
I'm not familiar with the JJRCX1 but I can assure you that in spite of the criticisms posted here the Syma x5c1, which you can get from Amazon for $60 is one of the better low-price toy drones on the current market. Here is a good test video:
I had a similar problem with my x5c when I first got it. I replaced the motor and it's been flying faithfully for more than a year since then, which includes many crashes and being stuck in a tree for two weeks while enduring two heavy rainstorms. It is amazingly durable and it flies as well or better than any other toy drone I've seen.
The battery could very well be the problem. There is a "fifteen minute rule" that should be followed with all quads in the low to medium price range. What this means is you should always wait at least fifteen minutes before recharging the battery. Give it a chance to cool down.
This is hard to do when flying on an especially nice day when one session is just not enough. The way around this is to buy a few more batteries. But the problem with this solution is the little drone motors will last a long time if you let them cool down for at least ten minutes between flights, but popping in fresh batteries while the motors are still hot will shorten their lives. So there is a "ten minute rule" for the motors.
My solution to this problem is to have two x5c's and four batteries. This way I can fly for hours without negatively affecting batteries or motors.
Obey the "fifteen minute rule" and your x5c (or any other toy-grade drone) will last a long, long time.

That's too high, get another charger.
I hate to recommend this very chintzy thing. Very delicate and finicky, the first insertions were tough. That said the channels are all independent and no matter how many batterries (of various sizes together) or the individual state of charge they come off at a comfy 4.18V .
Build quality crap, charging circuit very good. Have no idea if similar/other color ones will work the same.

Just saying.
