X5c-1 clones?

[GyroDrone2.0]

Hello,

I bought a Syma X5c-1 on ebay, but I got a x5c-1 Clone. I think it is the bangoodtoys version. How different is it from the Syma version? Is it worth just keeping?

Thank you.

It's hard to say. Some of the clones are fine and are parts-compatible. But with the X5C's so cheap, why not return it and get a genuine one to be safe? They are all over eBay for 40 bucks.

Banyan Toys makes good stuff. I have no idea why folks are so concerned with Syma X5's, just old and dated tech.

Very true. They're also a good, cheap, learner quad and you can buy props and all other parts super cheap everywhere. They're hard to break, and cheap and easy to fix if you do. Most everyone will move on to other stuff, but the Syma quads are a very good starting point.

Is this cheap enough for $35? Contrasting props (comes with spares), sealed gears, auto motor stop if crashed, all parts available and in high rates sportier than the x5. Decent vid too.

In Part 1 he has the unboxing.

This one looks like a blast @ $30, all parts available. Quite sporty in high rates.
