No brainer

According to the pictures the frame looks quite flimsy, but I was pleasantly surprised how thick the arms were - they actually are 5mm GF4 !!! After more than a year they are holding up well !!!

Thorax Frame - Great Deal

Mar 24, 2018

This frame is fantastic - by using 35mm standoffs, you can use a regular Runcam mini or a Caddx F1. I used the 20amp Little Bee ESC, 2300kv Motors, and a CC3D using CleanFlight. Screams on a 4s battery. My only gripe is the hole size for the motor screws, they needed to be slightly enlarged. Pics of my build are here - https://rotorbuilds.com/build/10638

The best you can get

I always wanted a mini hex - so here ya go!!! With motors, ESCs available in the bin it can be done in hours, and if it is on sale, it is a no brainer. At first look looks quite flimsy, but was pleasantly surprised how rigid and thick the arms were. I bought 2 ... just for spares :)

Love the kit so much, bought 2 more for builds and spares..Very sturdy and with some minor alteration during assembly, everything fits on lower deck...see photos on file.

Very nice frame for the price! I am currently using the 2206 baby beast motors with 20a Afro esc's with the cc3d on 4s getting 9 minutes of flight time.

excelente y resistente frame, despues de muchos golpes no se han roto mas que las palas, lo he probado con naza lite y con CC3D y se comporta de maravilla, el CG lo encuentran en linea con los motores del centro.

Great frame! I had been looking for a cheaper alternative to the expensive "mini" hex frames out there and for <$30 this can't be beat!

My current build has the Thorax frame with Multistar Elite x2204 motors. With a 2200mAh battery the setup weighs 650 grams and hovers around 45pcnt throttle. The frame is very well thought out and has lots of room for mounting things. The vibration isolation mount works great for my go-pro.

Two things I would change would be to add spacers between the two bottom plates, this would allow ESCs and power distribution to be done between the two bottom plates, helping keep the build clean. It would also be nice if hobbyking had replacement arms or some sort of landing gear to help soften the landings.
