Quad Anyone seen these?

[Stambo]

While mindlessly watching videos on youtube (everyone does this right?) I stumbled across this thing.
If it is really as robust as they say it is, it looks pretty amazing.
I wonder what it flies like.
I may have to look at getting one for my son.
Maybe two, I can see some aerial combat happening.

And it's made by Traxxas, normally pretty good stuff right?

I'm sure it is just that resilient. Probably flies like every other micro quad: pretty damn stable and a ton of fun.

I like the idea of a bunch of these in a gymnasium or outdoor pylon type race, with full contact encouraged. Nice race/combat RC sport. Add some laser tag sensors and get the spectators in on it too.

My 5yo has already been flying my v949 with varying degrees of success and this thing looks even more robust and stable.
I will wait until I see a few reviews regarding whether it really is that strong and how well it flies.
It's more than twice the price of the WLToys quads but if it's that robust, it may be worth it.
And it appears to be by Traxxis. That's gotta be good right.

Looks like it but hopefully no or very few repair bills.
