The sky viper will hold well in crashes, you can pick up the non-gps version at Walmart. It's a kids toy so its made to be durable. That being said..if you're crashing your GPS assisted quadcopter you're already doing it wrong. I'm not really sure what applications a brushed GPS assist copter has though. It isn't powerful enough to carry any sort of payload and the camera quality is limited severely by that fact. Maybe useful for learning/tinkering with the code without the blender-ing capability that brushless motors have I guess.
