V2 Version: We've updated the material to increase the durability of the Cockroach frame. This special new version comes in Teal and Ruby, two new colors to the Cockroach Brushless frame lineup!
Frustrated with constantly fixing struts and breaking frames, we set out to find something better.
We worked with a number of manufacturers and after numerous prototypes and revisions, we are proud to introduce the Cockroach Super-Durable Brushless Frame for Tiny Whoop style quads.
Traditional Looks and Geometry maintain those flight characteristics you are used to and ensure easy compatibility with the Beebrain as well as most other popular flight controllers.
Lightweight and Durable. We found a more forgiving and resilient material that doesn't sacrifice in weight or stiffness. Struts and other key support components have been redesigned to distribute and dissipate stress from crashes and falls. Total weight 5.1g
Easy and Inexpensive. None of this is any good if its super difficult to use and super expensive. So we made sure we set out to make something affordable. Key tolerances have also been fine tuned to make installation and removal much easier.
It's not called super-durable frame for nothing. Love the color variants that make your whoops look so cool and unique!!!!

Too Heavy, Bad Description
If you want a heavy and tanky frame, go for it, but... I strongly regret buying one of each color. The claim that they've found a stronger more resilient material doesn't apply to this frame. It in fact weighs 1.4g/37% heavier than the v1 frame! The sticky-backed felt pads are negligible to that weight comparison. Finally, the claim that, "Struts and other key support components have been redesigned..." is also not true. I've scrutinized my v1 frames to the v2's and there are no differences dimensionally. The translucent colors sure are nice though.

Total garbage frame. Broke after two hours. No warranty response.
Wish I never bought one, let alone two.
Brittle piece of crap broke in two places within the first two hours.
No response to the warranty request going on 10 days. Customer service at NBD ranks dead last out of the other vendors I regularly order from.
I really like this radio but I had a gimbal stick pull out without any pulling on it. I've had this happen with other name brand radios so it's not a surprise or let down. A little super glue and right back at it. It feels great! I love the full sized gimbals! I have the zorro and the boxer but I think this one is the right fit for me.
Handy as a second transmitter for travel, tiny whoops, etc
Surprisingly good for the price especially with ELRS. It has just enough switches that I can do most of what I can with the TX16S, and it's so much easier to throw in a bag and go. My only wish is that I could put the thumb-grippies style of stick ends on it easily (and still remove them for storage), but maybe someone will come up with an adapter or similar. Next step is to try a Gemini ELRS nano module and see what kind of range is possible on that.
