Okay... I've put together the HobbyKing order for my new mini-quad:

A fellow RCGmember sent me one he blew up one of the ESCs on trying to fly aerobatics with too much prop; after tinkering with it, I'm inclined to believe I can be very happy with it for my much less stressful porpoises.
I'm getting the el-cheapo recommended 5x3 props as they're like $1.73 for 6 on the SWARM; while I was at RC International (The Buddy Code/Swarm site)
http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm I also found these, I thought I'd pass 'em along:
$22.87

$2.37
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...3-D043E7A65667
$0.34

Remember you need to be logged in to your HK account for these to work; if they still don't work, or you're not from the US and want local codes, you can look them up on the RCI site linked above.
Now, all that remains is the motors... they're gonna have to wait 'til next paycheck or muh birfday, cuz I'm getting the good ones from MyRCMart, and it's $50 just for them:

The irony of spending $50 in motors for a $25 chassis is NOTlost on me.
I'm going to be just vibrating until it all gets here.

I haven't lost my mind. It's just gone vertical.
