I've been flying my red Thorax build since June this year and I like it very much. The frame is very sturdy and has survived MANY crashes with no frame damage. I purchased a spare set of arms when I first built it and have not needed to use them yet. I've been able to fly away from most crashes and finish races whereas other quad pilots are down and out after their first crash. I really love the redundancy you get with a hex (I've stayed in the air a couple times now after losing half a prop in tree branch collisions). In fact some members in my MultiGP chapter are calling me "9-lives" since I keep on flying after crashes.
My only complaint is the stock standoffs between the top and bottom plate are way too short. I replaced mine with black 35mm standoffs which gives me much more room inside for my stuff. I also recommend adding "Universal Nylon Landing Skid Set for Multi-Rotor Frames (Extended 100mm)" for the beginner pilot since these absorb a lot of shock on hard landings/crashes.

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

I love the design, first even if you lose a motor or an esc, the Hex can still fly. I did replace the stock body set-offs with M3-30mm ones to allow for my electronics and vertical connectors
