I just got some Turnigy batteries " not specific for the X5" and found that the Mini connector on the syma battery is wired backwards compared to other rc vehicles that use the same plug. To look at the stock battery plugged into my son's stock X5 socket , the red wire is connected to black...

I'm looking for a good quality lipo voltage meter / warning alarm that is accurate. I want some with just the meter. Most of the ones I've found on E-bay don't guarantee accuracy. I've seen some nice blue ones on build videos. Where do you get them ? Thank you :)

I know this is a product forum but if your looking for a supplier with GREAT service , check out Amain.com in California. Outstanding with most parts at $1.99 shipping. http://www.amain.com/ I have zero financial connection and hope this is ok to post.

I'm looking at slowly putting together a 600-650mm quadcopter. Would the 600mm Hobby King frame be even worth considering or is a $100 Tarot 650 the only way to go. I understand we're not talking products in the same league but I'm not thinking about spending $1000 in electronics either. I...

I must have at least 3-4 sets of 3 blades props for a Syma X5. I'd give somebody a heck of a deal here in the USA. I'm not going to lie to ya , the two blades seem to perform better and vibrate less. LMK

Has anyone come up with a fix to the excess rotor shaft play ? The stock set up is just the top and bottom gear sitting in a plastic mount, which gets loose very quickly. Some sort of thin sleeve " straw" might work ??

What is the deal with the black / red X5 quads ? We bought two at christmas and now they say '' No Longer Available " They don't show any parts in black either ?

I dumb question about 2 vs. 3 blade rotors. It seems like the far majority of quads are using a 2 blade rotor. I'm curious about the pro's and con's of a 2 vs. 3. I picked up some 3 blade rotors for my Syma X5 " mostly because they were $2.50 set " and they seem ok . Their slightly smaller in...

I've seen and I'm sure a lot of you have , that its a struggle to get the battery unplugged from the Syma X5 Quadcopter socket. Most of the time you feel like your going to pull the wires out of the plug. The fix I've found is to unscrew and remove the top cover of the X5 and to slide out the...

Just a quick test I did to see how efficient a JST connector is. This test was done at a very modest 4 amp load. The pack used was a Nanotech 750mah 1S battery. I tested it first thru the stock JST connector and then with the connector cut off and alligator clips for load and small voltage...

What radio would anyone recommend for an upgrade over the stock Syma X5 system ? Whats the deal with syncing the radios ? I thought 2.4 looked for an open frequency but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks

I know most of us use a better then supplied with charger than a USB charge cord but I was going over some batteries for my nephew today and trying to keep it simple for a twelve year old. I knew that USB charge cords were on the high side for voltage termination but was surprised to see the...

I heard on the radio today that FAA is quite concerned about the huge popularity of drones / quads. They claim there are 10,000 more in the sky today vs. a week ago. They mentioned about pilots seeing many of them when landing or during take off.

A dumb newbie question but when you see these people fly on you-tube and the quad is 100's of ft. away ,, how do you know what is front / back / left/ right ?? I'd guess the wrong choice and I'd watch my quad sail away over the tree tops. I painted the front protectors of my X5 orange so that...

First I'm a newbie on here and appologize for asking dumb questions. We've been Syma fans ever since purchasing a couple S-107g helicopters. Very nice little units for the money. But in the quad market , I'm still not very impressed with the quality. The Syma X5 , I will say , so far seems to...

We bought our son a Syma X6 for Christmas and it simply will not fly. Very odd as one motor won't run when powered up but not always the same motor. The remote also has a picture of a helicopter on the lcd screen. We have a couple Syma X5's and I tryed to sync those radios but did nothing. I...
