The Qu-Ax cross has an ISIS setup, but the crank design is just an
upgraded cotterless crank, strength wise. It will hold up for a while,
but once you start doing bigger stair sets and drops, it will start
bending.

If your seriously wanting to upgraded and get a strong unicycle,
consider the Torker DX, and Qu-Ax trials. Low budget unis that are very
strong. If you have quite a lot of money to spend, you can go for the
Koxx Devils, or the KH trials. Those are both top-of-the-line unis, and
worth every penny.

About your body moving, it is probably caused somewhat by your tire and
tire pressure, the crown in the road, or just the fact you have been
riding for 4 months. Keep practicing, using equal pressure for each
pedal. Youll get over it soon, and be able to just look straight
forward. =p

For learning tricks, some people learn them in a few mins, a few days,
a month, some have even taken a year to get some tricks down. Its
really up to how hard you practice, and how dedicated you are to
learning the trick. Also depends on the trick, things like hopping down
stairs could be easy for you, but when you go to try a crankflip, it
can take weeks. Just dont get frustrated at the trick and have fun.

Free mounting is hard at first, sometimes taking tons of tries to
finally get on your uni. Keep practicing and it will become normal, and
second nature to mount your uni.

Welcome to the forums, always good to have new members be they old
hardened veterans or fresh faces like yourselves.
If you did get the QU-AX you could always upgrade the cranks fi they
are as week as everyone says they are, you see quite a lot of people
(especially the europeans) riding QU-AX so they must be pretty decent.
As you ride more your balance will get much better and just come become
second nature so i wouldn't worry too much about it.
The learning curve is different in everyone some people learn fast some
learn slow. I remember when I first tried to just ride a uni I could
never get more than a few metres, then one day something just went POP
and I could ride and had balance. Same happened with idling I could
never do more than three then one day I could just do it.
One thing I know helped me loads was someone to go out uni'ing with, it
pushed me to try other things I would not have tried and helps push
yourself further. Especially when the person you ride with learns in a
month and then lands a unispin not long after.
Keep riding though, even make a video then look back on it a few month
later you'll be surprised at how you have progressed in that time.

well, in my case it took me only a few weeks to learn to ride down
stairs, but that was because I was riding down to my practice spot and
then making at least 30 minutes worth of attempts at making it down
stairs, I started te same way as I did when i went to learn to just
ride, I just went for it and everytime i got one step closer to the
bottom of the stair set and after a few weeks i was able to make it
down the stairs everytime, then I wanted to learn to ride backwards and
set up 2 chairs on either side of me and just pushed away, trying to
keep the uni under me, that took several moths to learn and now I can
ride forward and reverse when ever and ride backwards for a decent
amount of time, so I would say that the rough time frame for tricks
(because I'm on the slower end of the learning curve) would be between
2 weeks to 2 months..... it just depends on the dificulty of the trick,
and your amount of practice time you dedicate to it..... hope I
helped.....
