Why is nobody talking about the new Darwin FPV 5 inch?

Yesterday I ordered the DarwinFPV Apestyle X5 for $300 with 2 6s 1300mah waterproof batteries and 2 packs of spare props for $300. I understand that this thing is only a month old, but why isn’t there a single thing about it? I’ve searched on forums and YouTube, and nobody has said a thing. It seems like a cheap competitor in the budget 5 inch space with things like the axisflying manta 5 and the geprc vapor x5. Anyone have any idea? All I’ve seen is the review trailer, but it’s advertised all over their website.

Hello all! I need to stop putting this off so I’m coming here in desperation. My air75 randomly felt small motor stutters and trouble one day. Eventually it just stopped spinning entirely. I took a look and one of the motor wires came undone. I soldered it back on, and it turned out great, but the same issue. It also started having trouble on the opposite motor?? It confused the hell out of me. It’s making me think something is wrong with the firmware or ftc or something. I tried resoldering it and also taking all the hair out of the motor to no avail.

What makes it worse is that I can’t replicate every issue! Sometimes the motor just won’t move at all. Now it jitters and makes some sort of noise? Then it went back and forth a few times. Then my other motor wouldn’t move at all. Now it’s spinning, but just not great. Yesterday they both reacted somewhat and with trouble when moving around the drone angle while armed, but now only the motor with more recent trouble is doing it. I’m so lost. I was wondering if anyone knew if I should just buy new motors? Should I try to reset any firmware? Thank you!
