Greetings boys -

My sorority girls and I are looking for a great quadcopter for beginners as a new play toy - both inside and outside.

Any advice on which to get (@$100+ budget) - Blade MQX, Traxxas QR-1, Heli-Max 1SQ?

All 3 look good - but not sure which is best and why?

I would go with the V 929 from Banggood.com. It is a mini quad that will fly both inside and out. It has four mode settings from beginner to aerobatic. In the 20% mode it is very easy to learn to fly and at 100% you can do flips and rolls. It comes with a 2.4 Ghz transmitter, battery, charger and four extra props. I would also order 5 extra battery's at the same time. Here is the link: www.banggood.com. Then click on "Toys & Hobbies", RC Quadrocopters, then look for WLtoys V 929 Beetle 4-Axis Quadrocopter. for $45.19. i have crashed mine many times with no damage. I would also order the 5 extra battery's for $12.29. Get the "Mode 2" version with the throttle on the left stick. Also, for shooting stills or video, the V959 has a video camera attached that uses a micro SD card for video and stills. Video quality is ok for playing around and learning. Price for the V 959 is: $68.99

Thank you, Larry!

But how about the 3 models I mentioned?

Any other boys out there with input for us?

I don't know anything about the Traxxas or Helimax and I was not ableto find them in any of the searches, send me the URLs I will check them out for you. My first quad was a MQX which flew fine but you will need a transmitter which will cost you an additional $100.00 and you are going to need some knowledge of setting up the transmitter to fly the MQX. The V929 comes with a transmitter and is ready to fly right out of the box. Also, the V929 quad and the MQX are the same quads under a different name and a huge price difference. Stay away from any thing that uses Infrared controllers, they don't work well in day light or brightly lit rooms.

the traxxas qr1 is a neat little gut but lacks part's support right now . the heli max is a very stable quad and parts seem to readily available, as for the blade i have never had one so i cant say . if i had a choice i personally would go with the heli max its just so easy to fly and alot of fun

We carry all the spares and upgrades and parts to create the ultimate micro quad, the Frankenquad (based off the V202), not to mention every single quad is flight tested:
