Hey guys...took a nice long break as i started this thread about 3yrs ago..lol Still have the x5c-1 and havent replaced a thing on it..im still loving this model of toy quadcopter. Got myself back into rc trail trucks and crawlers but think ill get back into some toy quads. Cant believe all...

I have the x8c also but have a flight board issue with it after one small crash...ill replace it eventually but the x5 is still more fun to me. Not a bad price i suppose if everything works as it should. As far as stripping down an x5..it looks completely stock minus accessories...Its really...

300ft is a good range..thats the distance of a football field (100yds) but as we all know i would test that range personally as alot of manufacturer range claims can be a bit optimistic. I was a bit surprised at the price on the F15...the one place i found on amazon was near $90 for one...Are...

As long as you have the version 3 or version 6 x5c-1 control board then the x8c transmitter will work with it. The f15 version seems to be a mix of the x5hc and x5c...you can simply put in an x5hc board and have the same thing but the x8c transmitter wont work with it...Its possible the x8hc...

Unfortunately with the stock x5c board its going to be difficult to get good wind performance..The board is not programmed well enough to do this..We have to remember this quad was designed for more of an entry level camera platform. You have options to make it much more aggressive but this...

The best range mod is to use the Radio from the Syma X8C...Everything functions the same...The syma board must be a version 3 or version 6 or it will not work. I use amazon for most of my shopping..just search "5db antenna kit" and you will find them....On the first page of this thread is a...

Id like to do an update on my x5c. 1.) It still flies like a dream with all the mods but i have to now recommend you keep a few more screws to keep the body halves together...After a few crashes and over time the body will warp and not stay together all that well. 2.) Get you some newer X5HC...

Lol well ty...ive always tinkered as a kid and still do as a 48 yr old man lol. The x5c-1 board can only supply so much power through its mosfets and isnt the most powerful board used with 7mm motors and overall has conservative flight characteristics hence why its so easy to fly....What i was...

Hi, sorry for the long wait as ive been out of flying for awhile and havent been around but to answer your question the u807 board does supply more amperage to the motors than the x5c board would as well as being quite a bit more aggressive in flight characteristics. Were still limited with...

Whenever you crash these toy quads it upsets the gyros on them and can cause poor flight characteristic and just not work properly...I would first recalibrate the gyros on as flat a surface as you can find..This should fix the problem...If for any reason it doesnt then i would consider replacing...

The next build will include stage 3 mods for the ultimate X5C-1

Nice work my friend..Ive been away for sometime but ill be back soon with some long term updates and some changes. This x5c1 is still my most frequent go to quad for fun...its amazing what a little work can do to improve its performance all around.

Let us know how it works for you when you test it.

I think you have to download an app for it to work.

The JJRC 1000 boards a great match to 7mm motors with say the quad size of a X5...Ive seen them used with 8mm motors but not with very big props...i think the board can handle the neighborhood of 15 amps total for 4 motors..so around 3.5 amps per motor..Not sure what the h8c motors pull using...

Just looking for quadcopters of interest...thanks for the responses.

Certainly was...Timing was just right to catch it...you can get some killer deals if you keep watch there...Everything ive ordered from the USA warehouse (sale or not) ive had in 7 days or less as well.

I liked my hubsan x4 till i figured out how cheap the body was on it...A simple crash in the grass snapped an arm in two on mine...Not the easiest of bodies to change out either...Great flight board..decent range..awesome motors and very efficient props and thats about it....I got mine from a...

How do the gears, bearings and shafts look on it?...if a gear shaft is bent it can cause a problem with not having enough power to lift as well...Sounds like the board but be sure to check everything else as well...best of luck.

All i can suggest is to replace the flight board on it...I dont see anything else that would cause the problem unless you wired a motor incorrectly or maybe it was a cold solder.
