Details

The ApeStyle X5 frame is built around a Wide‑X layout for responsive 5‑inch freestyle setups.

Multiple structure options are available within the ApeStyle series—confirm the exact XH or DC configuration before ordering.

A thickened mortise‑and‑tenon arm base is designed to reduce play and improve durability in crashes.





An extended top plate provides more room for higher-capacity battery mounting depending on your build.

Dual reserved XT60 positions at the front and rear help keep power wiring cleaner on different layouts.

Everything needed to assemble the frame is included: plates, four arms, TPU prints, screws, nuts, and small accessories.

Key fitment details include a 215mm wheelbase, 5mm arms, 30.5×30.5mm FC mounting, plus common VTX and motor patterns.
