Managed to snap a prop mid-flight without hitting anything, probably from overtorque. The poor HQ5045 blade couldn't handle the power of the RTF 2208-2300s. I could hear a clicking sound while it was in flight at 3/4 throttle. The trouble is, when the quad fell, it tumbled and broke an arm. So I'm in the market for a new frame, since the arms aren't replaceable on the Hk260. I'd like to be able to use 6" props. Any recommendations for a frame with replaceable arms under $70?

The 260 is cheap, but I'm looking for something that I don't have to pull my electronics off every time I break an arm, which is probably going to be more common with these motors. I don't fly gently.

I'm looking more at these type of frames-

I'm leaning more toward the ZMR250 V2 because of the integrated pdb. I'm really tempted about the Flip260 but it's a little higher than I want to spend:
